Lovely warm service; delicious coffee, cakes and a berry shake! Very popular on a Sunday morning. Right on the esplanade so you can walk off the calories later on the sands. Their pizza restaurant is part of the same building. They also sell Italian gelati inside the cafe.

Stopped by to have a quick light lunch and thoroughly enjoyed the quiche - amazing flavours. Didn't get to try the ice creams but they looked delicious.

What a gem! This place is so delightful. Two big cabinets of fresh, homemade Italian cakes and pastries. Plus they have shelves full of other delicious items. Wish we had stopped by earlier so we could try more cakes but we will definitely return next time we’re in Hervey Bay.

Very lovely little spot, highly recommend the apple chocolate cake! The hot chocolate also was probably one of the nicest I’ve had in a long while :) my partner also enjoyed his vanilla latte and connolo!

What a cafe, coffee is excellent and the pastries are absolutely divine. This place is worth the drive. I have never had a bad experience. The gelato ice cream is also delicious. Right across the road from the beach, i cannot think of a better spot to have a coffee and pastry or ice cream Thank you
