Stopped by ONEPU for some cold drinks. ONEPU is a very cute little store but so busy on a sunny summers day. We grabbed a strawberry matcha and ice coffee. Coffee was great. I have to say the matcha isn’t my favourite (maybe lower quality matcha) but, I think they added cinnamon to it? Which complimented the matcha very nicely and it’s not a combination I’ve tried before. Next time I’ll have to try their ice cream.

If you’re ever in Lyall bay on a sunny Sunday you have got to try their smoothie bowls! Fuelled me up and tickled the taste buds perfectly .. they say RedBull gives you wings, but the Onepu cafe smoothie bowl sure as heck sent me flying to a great start to the morning. 10/10

We called into the cafe today and was blown over by the lovely bright decor! We were greeted by a very friendly lovely woman, who made the best coffee we've had in a long time! The freshly baked goods on display were so tempting, so we'll be going back to have a feast along with our coffee. Great place, well recommended!

Small but perfectly formed. Best coffee in Lyall Bay, which is saying something with the quality competition in the area. Freshly prepared food and treats. Gorgeous.

We finally made it down after years of anticipation. It was a bit of a windy, drizzly day, so it's unfortunate that we had to take or order away. But such is life at the moment. This would be full stars of we could sit at the window, though. The kid's toastie is great value and well prepared. I was equally impressed with the pinwheel that I had, possibly moreso. There was a hint of sweetness that was unexpected and pleasant that makes me want to reverse engineer the recipe.
