Whether the sun is shining or the winter weather is doing its thing, we’ve got school holiday's completely covered:

🛝 A fantastic outdoor playground for burning off that holiday energy.

🧸 A cozy, wood-burner heated, indoor space packed with toys and games to keep little hands busy on rainy days.

🥪 A delicious, kid-approved menu filled with treats and wholesome bites they’ll actually eat.

​Swing by, grab a premium coffee, sit by the fire, and let the kids play. It’s a win-win for everyone! ☕️🥧

❄️☕ Well, we officially made it past the winter solstice last week! Which means the annual winter "hump day" is behind us, and the days are finally getting longer.

​We’ll be raising a mug on Wednesday (open days Wed-Sun) to brighter mornings and the distant promise of spring! ☀️ But since it’s still pretty chilly out there, we’ve got the heaters cranked and the comfort food ready. Come warm up with your favorite brew - See you Wednesday!
