We have stopped past here previously for takeaway coffees a few weeks ago but decided to have lunch here today while visiting Tallangatta. First of all I love the little courtyard eating area to the side of the cafe behind the yellow picket fence, very nicely done guys, we opted to sit out there as it was such a beautiful day. We ordered the beef burger and the Southern fried chicken burger, both came with chips on the side but no salad which made the plates look a little bare. The burgers themselves were bloody awesome though and I must say their special burger sauce was definitely something else! The Briosh buns were super soft and patties were very juice and tasty. I ordered a latte coffee in a glass also but it was so hot I couldn't touch it for about 10 mins, please guys, coffee should never be hotter that 50° unless specifically asked to be by the customer. I loved their breakfast range on the menu but unfortunately we were there to late as the breakfast selection finished at 11am, would have loved it to be 'all day breakfast' but alas it was not to be, next time we will have to come earlier. Staff were very friendly and the prices were very reasonable too. 4 stars for these guys

Nice cafe setting, coffee and fruit toast were nice. Yes, there was a wait for coffee but it was a busy Saturday morning for the staff. Very rude, entitled and ill-mannered old people on the table behind complaining and being rude to staff - don’t listen to them team! Great work. Thanks so much

We have been there once before and had coffees. Today we decided to have a meal. We ordered lasagna and salad , they were very accommodating by adding chips it was beautiful. And the fish chips and salad which was also beautiful. So well cooked and filling. We also bought cokes and I like our drinks with a glass with ice and that was not a problem at all. I fully recommend this lovely little cafe right next door to Iga the staff are excellent and the food 10/10
