Very friendly staff. This hidden gem does a Big Breakfast fit for a Pacifika King . Portion size is big and tasted superb. Each bite is like a party in the mouth and everyones invited. Compliments to the Chef. Have found my new numero uno café for a breakfast meal.

Lovely atmosphere and hospitality. The food was AMAZING! I had chop suey and rice, and pani keke - they're like donuts. I don't usually eat island food but I really loved this. Definitely recommend it!
