We had lunch there twice whilst we stayed at Burnett Heads for a week. You can sit outside in a shaded area with your dog . The coffee, fresh juices, and meals were all delicious. The meals were pretty large, reasonably priced, and the staff were friendly. Would definitely recommend a breakfast or lunch there whilst visiting the area.

Great place, when I come here from America it was first place I ate. Love it. We enjoy the avocado smash and sweet potato salad!
