Absolutely fantastic! Best food - best pork sandwich I've ever had. Home made bread. Great staff, awesome service. The owner anticipated my every thought and bought out what I was going to ask for without the need to ask. Absolutely amazing!

This was my first visit to this cafe and the food was amazing. It was my birthday and my sister in law bought me breakfast and the wonderful owner did something so unexpected and brought over a lovely cupcake for free and a little boom box playing happy birthday to wish me happy birthday. What a lovely thing to do. Thank you so very much. I highly recommend this place to everyone. Such amazing and hard working people. Can't wait to visit again one day when I'm in Brisbane again

This cafe is, dead set, a Wynnum institution Located adjacent the Wynnum Central Train Station and open early, to accommodate commuters A little dated, inside and out, but serving delicious fresh food and baked treats A tip to diners - the owners bake all of the bread, rolls, sweets and pies on site. You won’t find fresher anywhere With takeaway and dine in options available, you won’t be disappointed by the service, quality of meals and price My recommendations are their scrambled eggs, potato scallops and the roast pork sandwich There’s plenty of on-street parking, particularly the station car park directly across Ronald Street
