Bought some of the adorable lobster themed bowls online and although the incorrect size arrived, they were lovely to deal with, express posted the correct size and gifted me the bowl that was incorrect. Excellent service and sweet, original homewares!

The front house gentleman from yesterday had the best customer service. He was so friendly and helpful. Thank you for making our dining experience very special. It felt like Christmas time. We enjoyed the gourmet sandwiches. The ham baguette was sooo good. And the bread was absolutely amazing. Will definitely be back.

Nice atmosphere, friendly service, delicious food. The outdoor seating is nice on a sunny day. The cafe/ bakery is located next to golf club and very close to the 199 bus stop. Nice place to grab a meal when visiting Palm Beach.

Great location and really nice homewares store (although certainly on the higher end cost wise). We had a quick bite to eat at the rear which has ample outdoor seating in a nice setting backed be greenery and boats leaned up against the back. We had the smoked salmon and a pie. Took longer than expected for the food to be ready, when it arrived the first thing we noticed was how nice the packaging was. The food itself was good but I wouldn’t say anything special.

Fabulous coastal homewares! Beautiful beautiful beautiful ! My favourite shop for the beachy coastal lifestyle - it's summery even when its pouring rain outside! Don't forget the cafe/bakery food is super fresh and the coffee spot on! Staff are super helpful and friendly. This is a must for when you are next in Palm Beach! Ive driven up a few times from Bondi just to go to this shop and always have a grin when leaving (and a huge bag of goodies !;) ) lol love it!!
