Our Story

By The Lake

Tucked into Summerland Point on the shores of Lake Macquarie, our cafe is a familiar stop for locals, families and visitors passing through. Pull up a chair and settle in.

“Beautiful breakfast by the lake. Great coffee, generous portions and such a calm spot to start the day. We'll be back with the family.”

“Best Banh Mi I have had outside of a Vietnamese cafe. The crispy pork belly was perfectly cooked and the pickled vegetables were spot on. Great coffee too.”
