Wow wow wow!!!!!!! This place is getting tagged in the 'best vanilla slice' fb page. It was mind-blowing good!!! We also ordered the chicken and camembert Filo, which was mouth watering. It was so creamy and tasty, filled with real chicken breast and camembert cheese!!We can't recommend this place high enough!!

The scenery is absolutely stunning to see as we have come the big city. The service was fantastic as it was done swiftly and professionally. The food could not have impressed us more for this little cafe we ran into during our beautiful drive.
