I really enjoy the cafe, the food is fresh and tasty, and the service is always friendly and professional. The owners are warm and welcoming so it’s no wonder they have so many loyal customers. I highly recommend the bacon and egg pide with relish.

Awesome cafe. So clean and the food is excellent. Had homemade hamburger with sweet potato fries that were substituted for normal fries at the request of my husband. My lunch of homemade Arancini and garden salad was excellent Nothing is a problem. Very friendly staff, great coffee we’ll definitely be back next time in Wang.

Lisa and her team are always very friendly, provide great service and greet you by name (regular customers). Lisa's homemade food and cakes are delicious. The cafe is child and dog (in the courtyard) friendly. Great cafe for catching up with friends or just enjoying food/coffee/quiet time by yourself.
