What a beautiful oasis down a side road. Indoor and outdoor seating, parking, beautiful decor and so many wonderful plants. The owner Dunny treated me like a guest as soon as I arrived. Vegan Tomato Soup and Hot Chocolate with Plant-based Milk were both phenomenal. 10/10 recommend a stop in for a drink/meal.
