Honestly, the best café I’ve ever been to! The kids’ meals are amazing, and the coffee is absolutely delicious. I’ve found my new everyday spot and I simply can’t go anywhere else! Tanya was our waitress and she was so delightful.

Grumpy’s is worth every visit. I go here every Friday morning, and their growth in the past few years is evident of their delicious food and excellent service. A big shout out to William for his warm, friendly and efficient service for each visit.

This restaurant deserves more than 5 stars. The food, service & atmosphere is just so on point. Hubby and I have eaten there a few times now - purposefully choosing a different meal everytime and the nail is always hit on the head. During our recent visit, one of the first with kids, I was delighted to see their "i dont care" breakfast for kids. Everything my kids enjoy on one plate. Thank you for a great experience, again!

Found out about this café recently and decided to pop in. I was not disappointed with the cosy atmosphere, efficient service, wonderful staff and delicious food! This is a reasonably priced café with several vegetarian options. Cappuccino and red cappuccino were fantastic! I'll definitely be back to try out other dishes and the baked goods!

#delayedpost You don't have to be grumpy to come here . We made a stop one morning for breakfast at Grumpy's Cafe It's not a massive space, they do have a decent amount of seating, but it would be nice if it was spaced out a little more. That's my personal opinion, just FYI. They have a fantastic carrot cake which i have had before, the lemon meringue looked tempting that day. We stuck to just food. I had the burger bowl, I'm glad I chose that as it was so good. Something different a burger patty, cheese with chips avocado, and tomatoes. We also ordered a Grumpy’s Breakfast – 2 eggs, 2 rashers bacon, baked beans, mushrooms, chips, fried onion, and tomato, and a toasted sandwich Pork shoulder, mustard and coleslaw. The food was good, I would definitely have that burger bowl again or try one of the sandwiches next. The cakes will have to wait for now To wash it down I had my cappuccino with cream, which looked a bit sad :-( Grumpy or not go try their food and cakes, you might something you like and a new spot for brekkie or lunch. #TheFoodMusketeer #TheFoodMusketeerEats #TFMGrumpysCafe
