I usually come here for their A Pie and A Coffee Combo. Prices can change hence why won't mention it but I do love my so and so combo. Right by the Woolworth and free parking on either side. Highly recommend them.

I stopped by for breakfast, tried the "Big Kiwi" and really enjoyed it. As usual though, I may have ordered too much as I couldn't finish it. The eggs were perfectly done, and the whole thing really well presented. The staff were friendly, and the general atmosphere very nice.
