Clean. Reliable. Does the job.

The "lights out missionary" of food. Spotless kitchen, decent grub. Won't blow your mind, won't disappoint.

Decent cake, but a bit vanilla overall.

What A Cake lives up to its name with some serious wedding cake game. Lenka’s creations seem to be the talk of the town, with Elaine Brewster gushing over a wedding cake that looked just like the picture she sent. The café itself is a cute little spot with good vibes, serving tasty toasties and cakes—perfect for a quick coffee break or a family outing.

However, don’t expect enlightenment from the coffee shop's décor. It's just your average space with a children's play area that could probably use a bit of child-proofing, as Emily Wilden noted. It's nothing groundbreaking, but if you’re in the area, you can grab a solid bite and a decent cuppa. Just don’t arrive expecting Michelin stars or fine dining experiences. 🎂
