It was a wonderful serendipity to run into this little cafe tucked away while I was waiting for my bus at the Toowoomba Bus Station! I almost cried tears of joy while looking at their spread of gluten-free options. I called mum immediately after, I was so happy! Their coffee is nice and strong too with availability of dairy free options. I highly recommend this spot and they just made my day with their sweet treat spread and cheery greetings!
