Reviews
"Great location near the ticket booking counters. Beautiful birds surround you and heaps of room to sit. The barista was courteous and the coffee was perfectly strong and fresh."
"Good coffee and great customers service. Thank you."
"I got a tomato and cheese croissant and a lamb Borek to tide me over for a half-day trek around this incredible sanctuary. The food was nice even though they were not warmed up quite enough. I guess you can't expect too much when they only have one staff member working (presumably due to social distancing measures). The one thing that I thought could be improved around the park is access to water. They don't sell plastic bottles (although they do sell other items that are not easily recyclable - e.g., chip packets - go figure). So you could only get cups of water at this cafe. We couldn't find anywhere else (that was open) that served water. So make sure you bring a water bottle."
"Doesn’t do Lactose Free milk option"
"The coffee is okay, but they use low fat milk by default. Not very creamy. $4.30 for a small, but keep cup discounts apply."
