Working up the road on a construction site. What a find! Most local cafes trick the customer by showcasing their best sandwich and filling is minimal. These guys make sure there’s filling throughout the food, there’s loads of choice and they even remembered my coffee straight away! Every time I’m around, I’ll see you!

Great lunch bar. Prices a little upperbound due to Newmarket location. But food is good. Pies are quite big and good quality meaty filling. I just peeled back a mince and cheese and steak and cheese from here today because it's Friday and yolo

I have frequented this fantastic little lunch bar / cafe a lot over the past 18 months. All of their offerings are homemade and delicious, from a wide variety of sandwiches etc to hot food like yummy quiches, through to sweet treats like big cookies and everything in between. Great selection of hot and cold beverages. The lovely family owners prepare the food with love and they genuinely care about people, that much is obvious.

My favourite place to get lunch when working in the area. Great selection of fresh foods and amazing muffins & coffee. The avocado wraps are my personal favourite. It’s a family run business and I highly recommend.
