Best kept secret in Mount Colah. Tucked away in the Plant Bug nursery. Small intimate, peaceful place for a great coffee and treat. If you enjoy being surrounded by beautiful plants, this is a place for you.

Good coffee. Nice atmosphere as it is inside of a garden centre. Quaint little spot. Friendly staff. Cute things and plants to look at on your way through.

Lovely cafe inside a plant nursery. Very helpful staff, quick service. My husband wanted his salad sandwich toasted because it was a cold day and they heated the chicken and toasted the bread first and then added salad so it stayed fresh and crispy. Located a couple of minutes off the M1 North of Hornsby, so easy access, and you can get back on the M1 a couple of km further north. Very useful location as it is hard to find places to stop on the way through Sydney from the south.
