The only food and beverage outlet in this section of the park. Family-run cafe that has a good range of food and drink options. Popular with visitors. Can take a while to get your order when crowded.

Lovely to find such great Korean food at the cafe. The bulgogi, chicken katsu salad and salmon cooked perfectly. Just thought portion sides were a little small for price. But with inflation maybe not. Friendly service. Great spot.

The coffee was absolutely delicious, and the Danish tart was so fresh and flavorful. Everything tasted amazing! On top of that, the staff were incredibly kind. When I mentioned that I’m a PhD student, the gentleman working there surprised me with some free stuff… made my day!! Such a lovely gesture! I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

We went to get some food while we were doing the loop around the Lane Cove River (on a Sunday). Was pleasantly surprised to see some Asian dishes on the menu. I got the chicken teriyaki option (I THINK - I don't remember exactly what I got) and my friend got the pork option (sorry I forgot what exactly it was called either).

I did not eat, but they have fantastic-looking food options, such as brownies, burgers, and lemon meringue tart. There's a bit of a wait, and the bathroom is located 50 metres away, which was kind of a pain. Staff patient.

A really nice cafe to reward yourself with a coffee. I got a small flat white, it was a bit pricey at $4.50 but it was really well made. They have almond, soy and oat milk available. They also have over ten kinds of tea which is so rare. The tea, even when ordered for takeaway was brewed loose leaf then poured into our keep cup. Lots of cakes available. If you require gluten free they have cookies available by Byron Bay Cookies - all individually packaged so they are coeliac safe. As well as the usual selection of ice creams there's a freezer of premium vegan ones that happen to be gluten free as well. $6 each but great to have an option. Lots of alternative and kid friendly drinks as well as the usual cola items.
