I have been to Naseby on several occasions in the last few years and was hoping that the new management would make a positive change to my experience. No.. this didn't happen. On my last visit in January (not on a busy weekend and the cafe was not particularly busy) the staff members taking the orders and making coffee were disinterested in me and chatting between themselves rather than trying to get through the building queue.

Tasty, beautifully presented, fresh, and great serving sizes. The coffee was also great. I would highly...
