A comfy spot to relax and unwind—loved the couches by the fire. Good coffee, tasty food from the cabinet or menu. Not heaps of gluten/dairy-free options, but the staff were super friendly and service was great.

The cafe is very homey. Ambiance is very good . They Dont have much food selection but they were great. They have a small play area for little girls. Good seating capacity around 25 pax at once. The toilet is well maintained. The antique Shop next to the cafe added some vibes. Overall, Top Deck cafe is a good choice :)

I visited today and had the most amazing experience. They had a Christian book shop which was so beautiful! The service was amazing, they are amazing people, the food was spectacular. Best eggs Benedict ive ever eaten and ive tried a lot. The eggs were cooked perfectly, the sauce was delicious, the homemade muffins were so fluffy and soft, the entire meal was to die for. Definitely love and effort put into their food. The coffee is amazing! I tried the beef burger of my friends meal and it was amazing with so many delicious flavors, homemade patties! The atmosphere was beautiful. I HIGHLY recommend

Lovely. Cute little room to one side perfect for a toddler to play while you eat. Even a bonus basket swing out back. Food was delicious. Appreciated that the waffles' maple syrup comes in its own tiny jug. Nice pot of tea. Excellent curly fries. Great stop on our way south.
