Popular cafe particularly with young customers. Great coffee, and home made muffins. Great atmosphere with lively background music. A welcome find in this outback town.

Stopped in here for some coffee and a quick bite to eat while I was in Alice Springs. This cozy little coffee shop has friendly staff, a large variety of coffee, and a large range of food options to start your day off right with. I opted for the Condi, with is an iced coffee with some condensed milk in it since it was a tad on the warm side outside and a hot coffee just didn’t sound that good to me. It was very good and went down easily. I also got the Sweet ricotta, chai roast pear, pistachio, honey bread (what a mouthful) it was great.

Unreal coffee, super friendly and welcoming staff and amazing food! Very good prices too. We came back here three times in 2 days whilst in Alice! Plenty of gluten free options as well. All the toasts and Jaffles can be done gluten free. Loved it - thanks!

One of the best coffees I've ever had the pleasure of imagining. The atmosphere of the cafe is exceptional, I'd imagine. I'll confirm these dreams in July when I visit. ETA: I've now visited and this is the best coffee I could have imagine. Lovely welcoming staff and all round good vibes.

Great coffee, warm service and really nice toasts. Felt a bit like Melbourne which was lovely. Coffee was great & the toast was so good and loved how generous they were with the toppings. We got the spiced chai pears one and the beans jaffle and they were both excellent. Service was friendly but definitely a bit slow with large groups of friends and tourists catching up. Not a complaint though just something to expect / heads up if you’re in a rush!
