The detour van at Melros beach was our favorite summer spot for the best ice cream! Now seeing how successful they are at Dolphin Quay and the most exciting menu to choose from gives us a humbling feeling! So proud of your guys and we tried the biscoff/banana waffles yesterday. Yum! Yum! Yum! 5 stars forever, we will pop by again very soon!

Lovely spacious side walk and indoor dinner place. Ordered the coffle Benedict with smoked salmon and a flat white. Highly recommended. Opens at 6.30am. Well suited to early person like myself.

Nice ice cream and coffee! I got a single scoop cup, the serving was so large!! Coffee was good too. The lady who served me was very friendly and suggested that I could try the flavours before deciding. Definitely recommended.

Nice little cafe that serves great coffee & food. The quality and presentation of food is good. So far we've tried soup of the day, croffle benedict, brisket waffle burger, biscoff waffle, mushroom/cheese panini and they're all great. Oh, do try biscoff latte instead of your usual coffee. You won't regret it! It's not (yet) up in the menu but the friendly staffs will happily make it for you. It pairs really well with the piece of their fabulous shortbread that comes with the coffee. Enjoy!

It was my first time in Mandurah yesterday, I went on a dolphin sighting cruise and of course, couldn’t help to find a place that’ll allow me to sit in the sun with a coffee. I found this awesome cafe & ended up ordering: iced mocha, paradise punch smoothie, biscoff croffle, biscoff CRONUT (this was my favourite), and a mushroom and cheese panini (it’s not on the menu but the owner kindly replaced the avocado with cheese) The service is great, really nice, friendly people working here! Atomosphere was also lovely, it’s close to the marina area so you can pickup your drinks/meal and sit close to the water or take it by the area where people are swimming, you may even spot a dolphin by the canal area. I really enjoyed dining at this cafe & can say it’s @nutritionbymansi approved

A big 4 stars from me. Everything about this place was fantastic. The food was so good I forgot to take a picture but I took a video to show you around instead. We had afternoon tea and the best waffles ever! Crisp and golden on the outside, fluffy in the middle, the home made ice cream was delicious and the fruit was fresh as can be. The staff were lovely and the place was very clean. - 1 star due to my iced chocolate coming out with no cream or ice cream but aside from that, it was great!
