Red Baron is a great hidden gem! Obviously a hot spot for local office workers, Red Baron has an excellent menu and great range of takeaway options too. The smashed avo was excellent. I would have liked a bigger portion, but it was good for the relatively cheap price! Parking is easy, the venue is unique and quite modern. The service could use some work to make it more welcoming.

Red Baron is a nice cafe supporting multiple local businesses. Friendly staff, reasonable prices, good food. Large dining area, very clean, lots of tables makes it nice for a quick breakfast or lunch. Did not try them but the fruit bowls and pastries looked great.

The decor was what attracted us to the Red Baron, and it did not disappoint. The location was a little tricky to find for a first visit. The food was nice and the service was friendly. We asked for cutlery when we ordered and were told it will come with the meals. Non of our meals were served with cutlery which would have made the consumption of the yoghurt and poached eggs interesting.

A good little hidden gem. We sat outside in a pleasant shady courtyard. There was a good selection of food including vegetarian. Friends said the coffee was very good. Lots of parking including disability and easy to get into with a wheelchair.

I don't know why, but it is really hard to find a good coffee at the moment that doesn't taste like warm milk with beans waved nearby. Coffee here tastes like coffee, and I'm addicted to the rye with avocado and chilli oil. This is our new regular after kid's sport on Saturday morning.
