Popped in here on a rainy Sunday and was so glad I did! The café is gorgeous and cosy. It’s beautifully decorated, and we were lucky to get a seat as it was so busy! We sat in the beautiful library, which was so atmospheric with a warm open fire, and cozy velvet chairs. I was hoping for some cherry pie but we were a little too late! However, I had what I can only describe as the best free range scrambled eggs I’ve had in a very long time! The coffee was also delicious. We couldn’t help it, and had to stock up with some treats for the rest of the day and I had a delicious burnt butter chocolate chip cookies!

Blissful + Perfection! An absolute creative triumph of a passionate local small business owner, a talented team in both front and back of house and super cosy atmosphere. We had heard from Adelaide Hills locals that this was a must. We went half an hour out of our way to come and the coffee, Rueben sandwich and Cherry Pie were so good we stopped talking, closed our eyes and savoured the balance and bliss of the dishes. I loved the local jams and art for purchase, and it has a dedicated library! Perfect to bring your own book too or read from their collection. A large table in the rear room is perfect for groups or those working remotely who want to take meetings or recalibrate in a different space. Warm hospitality, wonderful community. It a was a true pleasure and we are so thankful!

This is a must visit cosy hills cafe. Perfect in winter or summer, has a lovely raging fire and is gorgeously decorated, with hanging dried flowers and warm lighting. Had the most delicious quiche and carrot cake. The staff are so wonderfully friendly. You must add this to your Adelaide hills day tour itinerary.

Very busy cafe in the Hills. Cozy spot, lovely service. Coffee was delicious and the warm cherry brownie with cream on the side was delightful. Loos are a trek across the road at the community hall. Parking was an issue.
