The little teapot is a quaint little place - a house and yard converted into a cafe with indoor and outoor seating. Service was fast and friendly.
Do why 3 stars? It's because of the food it's not bad by any means but its very homely. You know when you are at home and you grab a couple of slices of toast and fry up two eggs or use the old shake and bake pancake mix. That's what they serve.
The coast has some great cafes with qualified chefs creating new and interesting takes on breakfast classics or at the very least serving high quality meals made from local ingredients. The little teapot feels like a relic from 20 years ago when truck stop 'cafe' food was the benchmark.
We ordered two fried eggs and toast with a hashbrown. The toast was not a locally sourced thick cut piece of sourdough like you'd expect but slices of plain white bread.

Read moreI was very much looking forward to visiting this lovely little Café for the first time as I had seen many positive reviews about it. I live at the other end of the Coast and needed to make a trip down this way recently and finally had the opportunity to stop in for a lunch with my husband. The whole experience was just a treat. The staff were really beautiful and we loved the old world charm of the place. I was particularly impressed that we were able to order a fresh, healthy sandwich from the Menu, which I find most Cafes do not offer these days. I also picked up some homemade doggy treats for our 3 boys whilst there. We will be back as I would love to try their homemade scones and delicious...
