We attended this amazing establishment today. What a pleasant surprise this place is. The environment is stunning, fish, turtles and water dragons just hanging out in the creek. Incredible gardens and plants. All staff were very friendly and helpful from the cafe staff, gift shop staff and the very kind handyman. Then there is the food, well, mind blowingly good! I had the vegan burger that had home made beetroot relish and was on a potato bun. My tastebuds went on a tangent. The burgers come with chips and the staff member asked me if i would like sauce with them. There were 4 options and at no extra charge. my friend had the chicken burger and chocolate fudge brownie and said both were very good. I recommend that you attend this wonderful place.

We had waffle with banana, waffle with raspberry, breakfast roll, they were all delicious! I bought papaya chutney and dog cookies for gifts.

My husband and I are on holiday and passed by this absolutely stunning hidden gem. Not only were the food and drinks impeccable and delicious, but the service was second to none. The beautiful lady that served us upon arrival and also brought out our food and drinks was thoughtful, kind, and provided service with a smile that warmed our hearts. We will definitely be back.

The staff here are so friendly! We stopped in on our way to crystal creek rainforest retreat. The chocolate and mint tarts are delicious! We then also had lunch here the following day. Highly recommend the beef burger. The view of the creek from the deck just tops off the experience.

Where on earth do I start? Everything is perfection from the second you walk in. This isn’t just a business, you can tell there is so much passion and love and a dedication to making sure every guest who visits or dines in leaves feeling fulfilled. Everywhere you look is beautiful. Ursula and her staff are so friendly and welcoming. The FOOD - wow, you can taste the love that’s for sure. Anything that can be made is made with love and with local ingredients, by Ursula. She is so accomodating and went out of her way to make my dad a birthday cake last minute - without us asking, and on the house. A very special place TRY THE OLIVES oh and the banana bread. And the fries. And vegan burger it’s all delicious!!!!!

We left Nambucca Heads NSW and made our way back to Queensland and we had to stop in and check out this awesome Cafe/Nursery/gifts shop. We already had something to eat before we arrived, but straight away regretted not having lunch here. WE WILL BE BACK. So we just walked around and bought a few gifts and loved the vibe of this cafe/Nurserygiftshop. We highly recommend everyone pop in for a gift,coffee, plants,food. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My family of 7 adults went yesterday to Crystal Creek Estate Cafe and Nursery and had a wonderful time. Being Mothers Day it was very busy and I was so glad I booked. The staff were lovely and handling the situation really well. There was not a big wait for our meals(which were delicious) and the coffee was really great. We then wandered around the very pretty and compact nursery and all found a little something that had to come home with us. It was a beautiful morning out (despite the rain). Can highly recommend.

Excellent place to enjoy your breakfast during trip. Environment and atmosphere is top. Food is decent with reasonable price. The mushroom in big brekkie is as a whole one not the cheap sliced mushrooms. Only thing is they are bit cold to me. But if you are not minority ig this is a place you should not miss.
