Very appalled by the baby sitting facility’s in this establishment and as for the food the sausages were toddler size the beans made me break wind and the mushrooms..... well let’s just say I didn’t have much room for them, some of the staff resemble miserable umpalumpas and are clearly depressed, other than this it was a wonderfull visit to this family bakery 😁xo
