Nice little cafe. I ordered an egg, bacon and hash brown toasted sandwich with mustard, and coffee. The sandwich was nice.and coffee was good. The cafe is dog friendly but I didn't see any dog bowls. There is inside and outside seating and you order your meal at the counter. The cafe is accessible by wheelchair, and staff were very friendly. You can also dine in for lunches or get takeaway. It is a very popular little cafe.

One of the three best Coffee (particularly the young female barista, she has that machine dialed in) spots on the SYP, yes I'm a city coffee snob whos just moved back to the country. Breakfast was wholesome value and the pizza looks pretty dang good.

Great country hospitality and excellent food and coffee. We stayed in Yorketown for the long weekend and had breakfast at Nel's both mornings. The smashed avo is highly recommended!
