Been to Coffee and Tea lovers quite a few times now, as it's my new little Cafe spot. Coffee is always fufilling on and has good portions sizes. Nice cabnet selection and kitchen food is delicious. Service is nice and friendly, and the restaurant has a cosy and home-like atmosphere. Nice range of coffee and tea pots, and plenty of mugs and different teas to purchase. Very happy and satisfied whenever I visit:)

Wow, what an incredible experience at Coffee and Tea Lovers! I was absolutely blown away by the food. I treated myself to some pancakes that were out of this world, and my partner had the egg benedict with bacon, which was simply divine—though I regret not snapping a photo of it! Everything was so delicious and incredibly affordable. I can’t wait to return and explore more of their menu! Plus, they have an amazing selection of premium loose leaf teas and coffee beans. This place has officially become my new favorite spot!

I really like this coffee shop, which is the restaurant I must visit every Saturday morning. The cheese scone here is very delicious, and a delicious long black cup is really a great enjoyment in life. Here I like Navi even more. She has a very good service attitude, a nice smile, efficient work, and a generous appearance. I like her very much.

The food and the menu item I tried (pancake) was good and quite a large portions with the price and came with a scoop of ice cream as well which many other cafes do not offer. I slight downside would be that the service speed is a tad slow. Nonetheless I would come again. There is plenty of parking. Should try their tea next time I come as they have quite an extensive range to choose from.

I was passing by looking for a coffee and found this place. It’s really busy with all of the paraphernalia but gives the place its charm. They had 6 different flavours of red bush tea which I do love but $14 per 100g. Coffee was average but enjoyed a free tea while I waited.

Got my quick coffee. The latte was good. Taste ok. My son had the hot chocolate. The staff is very friendly. Managed to look at the display. You can buy not only coffee beans there, there is also large selection of teas. Next time when I pass by again I will try the herbal tea. The place can be brighter.
