) "Lovely and quiet water and wildlife views.Food and barista coffee very yummy! 😃"
"Staff are super friendly and there is a good sized menu to suit all tastes."
"Food was tasty although servings slightly small for price."
5 A nice cafeteria next to the West Lakes. The owner and staff are very friendly. The food was delicious. I particularly liked the chili crab & scrambled eggs, tasty. The view is fantastic with the beautiful West Lakes just right in front of you. Recommended for family & friends catch-up.
4 Went there over the weekend. The chicken burger was really good, but the big breakfast was just okay — the bacon wasn’t crispy and the mushrooms had too much vinegar. The view and service were great though!
5 How to find: from car park, follow the signage and walk down to the lakeside frontage entrance. If you’re looking for a spot that you can chill to enjoy the atmosphere this is it. This might be my new favorite lakeside cafe! Coffee is good & smoothies are great! Food is flavourful and owner & staff are hospitable! The photos just speak for itself!
5 One of the best hidden gem cafes around! So quiet, no traffic noise, almost no people walking by, a very very peaceful cafe. The view is so refreshing and calming. The food tastes amazing too! I loved my savoury crape /w the salad.
5 The coffee is an absolute one that you can enjoy with a peaceful, chill vibe just closeby the lake. Staffs are hundred percent friendly, enthusiastic with care
5 This is one of our most favorite places in the world, hands down. The service is always incredible. The food is so yummy. I'm obsessed with their eggs Benny, and I really need to learn how to make their chicken burger, or my husband might just leave me. But it's not just the amazing service and food; the location is gorgeous. We love going there because it feels like we're on vacation. Oh, the coffee is also perfect! - very important.
5 After reading the positive reviews I made this small cafe a ‘must try’ on a walk round the lake. What a great find. It was a quiet Tuesday morning, and I was served immediately by the friendly staff. My latte was extra hot as requested and actually tasted like coffee (take note Cibo!!) The seating area on the balcony is perfect for enjoying the views of the lake.
Customers often enjoy the coffee, Matcha Chai Latte, scrambled eggs with bacon, and dessert options like lemon meringue pie.
