Love this coffee but the last 2 visits the take away cups or lids smell of mold, which I am very sensitive to. Please look into where you're storing your take away cups and lids.

I come here regularly and the coffee is always consistently well made. I might even say they have the best coffee in Goolwa. Staff is always friendly, and wait times aren't too bad even when they're busy.
