Bloody shame, that place was a staple for as long as I can remember. Anne was a legend.
40 years of 'consistency and quality'... yeah nah, been there once, overpriced and average. Not exactly sad to see it go, just surprised it lasted this long tbh.
mate you're cooked. it was a local icon, show some respect
ffs another local biz gone. Councils killing everything with rates and parking. Bet another cafe will pop up charging $8 for a flat white.
tru that. remember when the council made them add stupid parking? nightmare for the staff
Had my wedding reception there in '98. Anne was so lovely and the food was amazing. This hits hard.

what a shit way to start the morning. first the coffee machine breaks at work now this. rip anne
Never been but sounds like a proper local joint. Hard to find places like that anymore. Condolences to the family.
lol cope. not my fault it was mid tier
my nan used to take me there after school sometimes. she's gone too now. this sucks lol
facts. nothing lasts forever but this one stings
