A pastry delight and great coffee scene, this little cafe is the hot spot for morning tea, lunch or an afternoon tea. We definitely venture out here every weekend for a coffee/pastry treat and to pick up some bread for the week. You’ll often spot me here once or twice during the week too... It’s possibly a good thing that I don’t live in Albert Town as I’d be there every day!
