The food here is very high quality. The owner was kind and happy to show me the ingredients going into my mango smoothie - frozen mango, high quality commercial mango pulp from real fruit, and coconut water. His wife bakes the banana bread, carrot bread and blueberry bread. The prices are very reasonable and the serving sizes generous. We are lucky to have such good quality food available prepared with love and care. Please support Sage cafe, it's really only 2 mins walk from the mall, with council parking directly opposite.

Netty. Was. Here. I am sooooo impressed with this little cafe. Tucked away where the regulars ponder their early mornings. I hooked into a big and very affordable breakfast and coffee. I had the savoury mince as a takeaway few days ago, then came back for it again. So flavourful I hope this never disappears from the menu. Coz I’ll keep coming back for it! $14 with a fried egg the thick cut toast, oozy egg and good ol savoury mince! Simply Perfection!

Great customer service, awesome food, so good I forgot to take a photo of the breakfast. The Korean Fried Chicken is amazing, I had to order more to take away. And the coffee is perfect, strong without being bitter!

The gentleman told me he had the best egg and bacon rolls in town and he was not wrong. The best I’ve had for a long time and the cakes were quite nice as well especially the caramel tart.
