Beautiful venue for a wedding. Outstanding service too. Impromptu photo shoot was not too much to ask hehe. Thank you for a beautiful evening on what I imagine was a stressful time for my friends (wedding moved to the afternoon before the original date) due to Melbourne lockdown.

What a little gem! A great little outdoor space to relax and enjoy a slow start to the day. We LOVED the chocolate chip cookies and the passionfruit sponge was stunning. Dads comment, the BEST he has ever eaten & we all agree. Soooo delicious!

Thank you to the CDF team for putting together the wedding of our dreams! If you plan to have an outdoor wedding then I highly recommend CDF. They did everything leading up to and on the day to make sure we had the best wedding and it was fantastic being able to select and tailor things to suit we wanted. We're still smiling about our wedding months later :D

The white chocolate macadamia cookie was so good it has ruined all other cookies for me, literally the best biscuit I have ever eaten (don't tell my Grandma I said that).

A Hidden Gem. The coffee is sensational & hot. The chicken casaer baguette was so delicious. Fabulous outdoor dining area. Dog friendly and they have knitted leg blankets for customer's use. I work shift work so it's refreshing to find a great cafe that stays open till 4pm. My new obsession is the passionfruite sponge, just like your Grandma use to make.
