Absolute mastery over her craft. Mediterranean inspired with an honest homely vibe about the flavours, Maria and her team have created a wonderful palatable experience. Colourful, tasteful and fun to eat. A variety of options: All dishes have the option to be made plant based/ vegan. Friendly environment and Maria's infamous "Pro Nut" range balls are amazingly good! Take home box options. Oh, cool hairstyle by the way Maria, Not as funky as my Mohawk though... Our daughter looks forward to seeing you on a Sunday morning for brekkie! Much success to you and the Cheeky by Nature team Cheers Rick

I just ordered some takeaway coffees from this café based solely on the reviews here. First of all, coffee is on point and the owner is so welcoming and warm. This is incredible that through such chaos there are still some beautiful soul around soldiering in and putting a smile over our faces. She even gifted me a passion fruit muffin to welcome me. I am blown away by her kind gesture and positivity. Thank you

Fantastic venue. Delicious food. Incredible and friendly customer service. Went earlier this year and ate in. The cafe stood out to the usual brunch places due to its unique Mediterranean twist on the brunch menu. The food is delicious, fresh and has a homely feel to it. On top of that the coffee is great too. Today we decided to try their takeaway options and we were impressed once again. The staff were super accommodating, friendly and helpful and even made me the big Mediterranean breakfast in takeaway form even though it isn’t on their takeaway menu. Thank you for the warm service with a smile, delicious food and excellent coffee.

Decent coffee, nice vibe,I guess the salad/leaf would be more surprises rather than serving right now. Like the mushroom madness just too plain.

“Cheeky’s Big Breakfast” was quite nice, decent pricing , pretty filling & the service was lovely. Three pointers: - The one tomato slice was a bit odd compared to the amount of mushrooms and salad - The bread could have used a side of oil or butter as it was a bit bland on its own. - We had to get up and get our own cutlery for some reason Very busy little cafe, I’d come back!

Awesome new addition to high Street Cafe! Great choice of vegan and vegetarian options. I had the omelette which was really tasty, friend had the whole grain pancakes which were absolutely amazing. And the coffee is spot on perfect. We'll be back to try the rest
