It's a lovely little spot for a cuppa and you can either browse POD's goodies for sale or look out onto the park. Unable to comment on their food, but the acai bowls looked very inviting.

The best açai I’ve ever had… And you can shop for gifts while you wait. Love coming here in my road trips xx

The acai bowls are huge! Topped and bottomed with tasty granola. The mango and watermelon blend is sweeter than the other option and taste a bit more like acai. The other, I can't remember what the blend was but the flavour of acai was overpowered. It's still a very decent smoothie bowl. The cold drip was perfect, the different notes extracted by this method was great.

The acai bowls are so good. Taste fresh and give a generous amount of topping compared to other stores b

We love our pod ladies, everyone knows our names and remembers how we like our coffee and they are super sweet to my little girl and spoil her. They seem to do a lot of acia bowls and have nice slices and munchies and gluten free options too… i also like to look at the homewares and gifts, something for everyone… even the dog

Great healthy food options. Love the protein shakes. Especially the banana vanilla one I drink it so quickly because it's so good. Really cool things to get for gifts as well. Lovely spot. Parking down the driveway too if you can't get a spot on the street

Great Acai bowls and coffee with a very relaxed feel to the place. Also a cool little shop to have a look around in.
