22/9/23: New Review, now open for dinner, Thurs, Fri and Sat. New evening menu, with cool soft jazz music (not live). Tonight we had the ricotta and spinach ravioli, seafood linguine and a side Greek salad. All delicious Washed down with bubbles and a red. Will go again. Thanks Tony and team. Always great food and service. Update 09 April 22: Seems times are getting tough and portions are diminishing. The was my eggs Benedict with spinach and a side of hash browns. Though there was 2 hash browns. Disappointed and pricey compared to other better local cafes.

Not being a local, it took me at least an hour to chose a cafè in the area that looked like they did an acceptable eggs benny. We decided on Full Turn on a whim due to their menu suiting our preferences more than the other places around where we are staying for the weekend and were pleasantly surprised at what we found. The first thing you notice is how spacious Full Turn's location is, there are multiple different chair types to fit those with different preferences and the place feels friendly and comfortable. There is someone to greet you when you arrive and brings you table water and a menu as well. We were seated in a table at the side of the room near the kitchen. The staff is super friendly and helpful and we even had table service! (not something you normally see in a cafè where I'm from). The coffee and food were delicious and beautifully presented, even the alfalfa on top of the eggs Benedict brought something to the dish. The croissant was perfectly heated and the cheese and ham in the centre was delish! To finish our breakfast we had to try one of their banana and nutela muffins and their Carmer Sutra Chai, if you like a traditional chai this is for you! It was an experience in itself and reminded me of having traditional chai with friends growing up. Do not overlook this cafè, if you do it would be a disservice to your taste buds!

Had a fantastic night here as a function for the Kieser centre across the road. Amazing finger food and drink, we basically had to be rolled out of there! Family friendly, great service and lovey atmosphere. Highly recommend! We’ve been back since for breakfast and theChilli scrambled is delicious!

Love this cafe! Good food, good coffee and friendly staff. Love the variety of dishes for breakfast and lunch. All day brekkie which is another winner. Lots of seating indoor and outdoor. Have tried the smashed avo, french toast, Nourish bowl, Green goddess salad and mushroom bruschetta, and would recommend all, with the smashed avo being my favourite. They also have a great take away selection, like slices, muffins and jaffles.

Came for lunch and the food was great. Our table ordered the mushroom bruschetta, salt and pepper squid, chai, hot chocolate and coffee. The mushroom bruschetta was delicious and the garlic cream sauce drizzled over the top made the kale more edible for me as I’m usually not a kale fan. Loved the garlic cream sauce! The squid looked fantastic as did the hot chocolate. Looking forward to a return visit!
