Marginally more expensive than other cafes but you pay a but more for the quality and quantity of food. Always consistent, fantastic chips, great selection of drinks and food. Also has some convenience store items like ice cream, razors, snacks and gifts which since the local grocery store closed is welcome. Staff are always friendly and attentive. New owners took over about a year ago and has improved dramatically. It's also known as the Purple People Feeder now.
