Another great delivery by Speciality Coffee Traders. All the staff so friendly and the coffee is good here. The bonus here is the longer opening hours, and the full menu turning out delicious breakfast and lunch. As with the Garbutt flagship shop the banana bread is the best in town.

Used to go to cafe Bambini every visit to Townsville. Well, no more. This place is much better. Service is great. Meals were quick and delicious & atmosphere is relaxed. If you go, buy the pumpkin sourdough loaf they serve with meals. Out of this world!!!
