Lovely wee cafe in Stoke. Staff were friendly and efficient. A nice selection of cabinet food, well priced. We had the ham and brie croissant, which came toasted with a little side salad. Delicious coffee too. Also great that it is attached to the car museum and gift shop. Service Dine in Meal type Brunch Price per person $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Really nice brunch-date spot. Bacon is cooked perfectly regardless of your dish. Staff are friendly and efficient. It's a nice location with the museum gift shop to browse on the way out. Great gifts to be had there too. 👍 ps. It's ALWAYS busy. Service Dine in Meal type Brunch Price per person $60–70 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Bacon & Eggs
The BEST gluten free cheese scones I have ever tasted. Nice n crunchy on the top, delicious with fresh dripping butter. Hubby's 'normal' cheese scone was a beaut too. Swift service, very nice hot coffee. Busy place with indoor & outdoor seating. Still exceptionally good. Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4
I was part of a group which visited after an outing to a local site. The Little Engine was busy, with most tables taken, so we had a short wait. No problem, though, lots of interesting merchandise to view. Once seated, service was quick and coffee was hot. Well presented food in the cabinet, though the range is small. Nice atmosphere overall. Wheelchair accessible. Plenty of parkinv. Worth a visit. Service Dine in Meal type Other Price per person $10–20 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4
They made a special effort to make GF date scones and they were awesome. Also I had the Dutch apple cake. Beautiful and moist crunchy topping. Service Dine in Meal type Brunch Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Scones Gluten Free
I drive by this café daily, and as I happened to have my father with me, and he is a car guy, we decided to call in for Coffee and a bite to eat. We were met at the door by a Chevy Impala in fantastic condition, and then we were welcomed by the amazing staff and the amazing array of food. Looking through the food cabinet at the incredible selection of food was a tough task, everything looked delicious, but I settled on a morning tea classic, a large sausage roll and a Coffee. The coffee was served first, and was very welcome! I love coffee, and this alone was the perfect start to our dining experience. The food arrived soon after. We had received our food within 5 minutes of sitting down which is great as we were hungry. The sausage roll was very tasty, and I only used the provided sauce sparingly. The pastry was light and flakey, and the meat filling was moist and flavoured nicely. The atmosphere was friendly and lively, a busy cafe is a sign of good food! A great dining experience, highly recommended.
The most delicious gluten free cheese scones. Crunchy cheesy top, good sized scones. Hubby enjoyed his normal cheese scone too. Lovely hot coffee as well. Plenty of gluten free options, well worth the visit

Our favorite cafe for delicious gluten-free options and super yummy food. It is only cabinet food, but this means it's ready quickly, good if you have limited time. Great coffee and nice, friendly service. Don't go late as they close promptly and sometimes run out of the gf options.

First time visit. Great food coffee and service. Will return. Great location and heaps of parking.
Very Disappointing. This has been our regular cafe for the last three year but todays visit was disappointing. Ordered the Croissants but when they arrived, they were soggy. Took them both back to the counter, the said OK but no apology. When they were returned the croissants were virtually the same. Normally they have excellent food, so very dissapointing that they still could not get it right even after the second attempt. Food: 2 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4
