Crib + Cake + Coffee Cafe - SAFETY BAY

Due to my fear of being late, I rocked up half an hour early for a UYE breakfast at The Stables Bar last week. As it was so early I was in need of a rare

Not quite a hole in the wall coffee place but this place certainly comes close with it's very narrow entrance that thankfully expands in the back to a

One of the nicest places to get coffee in the city. Extremely fast and if you love chicken toasted sandwiches, crib lane will have you hooked.

This is a Rockingham Hidden Gem! Nestled away off the main strip is Charthouse Cafe. Very deceiving from the outside but the inside boasts a beautiful industrial against hardwood theme. The display cabinet accompanied by the down lights creates a very hipster feel and the beautiful scenic art pieces make you feel as though you are on the beach. The white wash brick wallpaper and nifty serving window is pleasant on the eyes. The statement piece is definitely the comfy lounge chairs that catch your eye and break up the cafe with there lagoon teal colour. I cannot speak for the food menu, from a quick glance is relatively average and could do with a revamp. Adding more of a healthier and vibrant menu would be a pleasure to see. I order a mocha which was resented beautifully but lacked the chocolate to coffee balance I was looking for. The staff here are wonderful and polite, efficient and you can see that they take pride in their work. The drinks fridge really takes away from the beauty of the place and there are a few misplaced designs and features. Overall from this experience I would come here again and suggest it too others.

Make no doubt about it! This cafe/restaurant ticks all of the boxes in respect of quality of service, quality of food, quality of coffee and the price - well you can't get better value for money! Rana and his staff offer a hidden gem in the metropolis of Charthouse Shopping centre Waikiki within walking distance to many residents who have been crying out for quality meals and coffee to enjoy with their friends in their local area. There is also ample free parking at the door for those who choose to drive. This certainly hits the mark for both quality, presentation and price. Try Rana's magnificent Cobbler dish and I dare anyone not to compare it to any one of the 5 star restaurants throughout the world. This cafe is outstanding.
