“Found this hidden gem. Amazing fresh food options. Great atmosphere and service. Highly recommended!“

“So many breakfast places have decent food and terrible coffee. Their coffee was quite good, the breakfast sandwich was big and a little awkward to keep everything on the sourdough bun, but the flavours we good. Plus their front patio was lots of fun with live music across the road at the market. We will go back.“

“Amazing Coffee Cart Experience at Our Wedding This Past Weekend!“

“I was looking for a small, locally owned business to sit for a bit and enjoy a coffee and a ‘made in-house’ baked good. Very happy I found the Alpine Cafe and met Steve, who works and owns the cafe with his family. There is a good selection of baked goods, cakes and sandwiches that not only look good but taste even better.
Attention that this local business operates on a cash only basis but is 100% worth having the cash in hand.“

“Very friendly service, good atmosphere, daily special was inexpensive, fast, delicious and healthy! Plus supporting a good cause. �“

“My favourite place to be. I can gladly call this place home. Delicious coffee, amazing food and the best people. Thank you Laketa family. ❤️“

“Rose Cafe in Town it is rare to find such a beautiful place, relaxing and tasty food. My husband and I go there for a date as it is not only food but the vibe is needed after a busy and hectic day. Yes the items might be more expensive than other places, However we should remember that we are paying for something unique, the place, the food. Highly recommended for relaxing and good food . Respectfully.“

“*Updating a review from a few years ago. (They have improved)
After subsequent visits I have found the coffee to be excellent, pricing fair and staff have been more friendly now.

Their commitment to local art and community service is commendable and worth stopping in for a drink and some art ☕🖼️“

“Loved the food! I tried the chicken pesto panini and the vanilla chai latte and both were sooo good! It’s such a nice spot to just enjoy your food, study, or even hang out with friends. Super student-friendly and the staff are really sweet too!“
