Food is quite good, especially breakfast, but the service is terrible. You are really made to feel like you're getting in the way by asking for a seat, or coffee, or food. The place is always packed because it's in an excellent location and the food is better than most of Cronulla for breakfast, but the laziness and arrogance of the staff make it not worth the effort.

Service was fantastic, really layed back and prompt. The specials menu was tasty and well priced. Fantastic location. Try their chai smoothies, to die for! Keep up the good work.

Don't even bother unless you're there at the crack of dawn. Went there for breakfast for a gathering day after wedding, we had 11 people. Waited for 20 minutes before a waitress came over and asked how many. A further 10 minutes after that a waiter came over and seated the 5 ppl behind us.

After that incident the man was asked why he had seated them before us to his reply was a flip down of his SUNGLASSES! and oh well they had a reservation so I can't do anything about that, later I overheard that they don't do reservations.
Eventually they bunched together a handful of tables, chairs and pouffs, very cramped! Service was slow, waited about 20 - 30 minutes for food to be brought out. I ordered the eggs benedict and it had absolutely NO flavour, VERY poor.
Staff ooze arrogance!

What a disaster! Stay away people. These people think because they have a great location they can serve food and provide service which wouldn't be fit for a prison. We ate breakfast there on Sunday. 5 people and 5 disappointing meals. Missing ingredients with no explanation from staff as to why then trying to charge for those ingredients.

These people are trying to sell their cafe. Good luck. I'll buy it....for $5 as the remaining money would need to be spent on rebuilding the no doubt diminishing reputation. They clearly have made up their mind to leave and all pride in the establishment has disappeared.

Don't go there! Despite the great location, the rude staff and the absolute chaos with the service makes this a no go for any genuine foodie. 40 minute wait for breakfast, when an enquiry was made, only part of the order arrived, and then expected to pay for the privilege of sitting in the cafe. Sorry, but poor service and very ordinary coffee makes this an expensive mishap!

Waited over an hour for breakfast while other guests arrived after, ate and left! Pointed this out to waitress, no apology, extremely rude and told 'Well you're on a prime piece of real estate???? what sort of answer is that? Food arrived stone cold. Very embarrassing as we had taken our foodie friends who are used to excellent city/inner city service. Will never eat here again!

The staff are quite friendly but lacking in organisation, a few kinks that need to be worked out but apart from that great food, great views and awesome value. It is our Sunday breakfast favourite!!

Bought 2 takeaway coffees $8 we asked for one skim and one fullcream milk. When the annoyed looking waitress served us, we asked which was which and she said she only had one kind of milk that day!!! too lost for words we didn't reply but we could see both milks behind the counter, sad to say the coffee was awful but there are plenty of other coffee shops in Cronulla.
