Our cafe includes a large rear lounge area and gallery space, which is available for events, private functions & exhibitions.
As we’re a family-friendly cafe, it’s also quite handy if you have littlies in prams, as well as meeting your friends or even a group ride meeting point for those pre or post ride coffees.
