Mietta's Review
This outdoor cafe sits in the middle of a community managed park that includes vegetable gardens, an animal farm, multicultural exhibits and environmental initiatives. Simon Palomares says that "Being a sucker for anywhere I can get a good coffee while the kids run wild I have to recommend it as a parents' delight". There are chooks, sheep, pigs and ducks all of which successfully avoid appearing on the menu without being missed. A collection of mainly vegetarian dishes, hearty soups and delicious cakes can be savoured complimented by every herb that has ever been brewed into a tea.
