If you're looking for a vibrant and nourishing meal, the Delicious Health Nourish Bowl is a must-try. It’s a perfect balance of flavors, leaving you feeling full without being heavy. The combination of fresh ingredients really packs a punch, making it both satisfying and wholesome. The Zucchini Fritters are another highlight—crispy and perfectly paired with a refreshing salad that cleanses the palate. It's a great dish to elevate your taste buds and make you feel refreshed with every bite. For those with a sweet tooth, the Lemon Pancakes are a game-changer. Their zesty flavor brings a burst of brightness, making them an ideal choice for brunch. The pancakes are wonderfully complemented by the creamy vanilla bean ice cream, creating the perfect sweet finish. One tip—be sure to reserve ahead, as this popular spot can get busy, even on a Sunday. But with food this good, it’s definitely worth the wait!

Dropped in for breakfast on a busy Saturday morning and surprisingly the kitchen quickly filled our order of the big breakfast with tasty little pork sausages and scrambled eggs on toast. It was all nicely cooked, except the bacon was overdone and the serving size could have been more generous. Friendly welcoming staff. Great coffee. Lovely warm community atmosphere, obviously quite a hub for the locals.

The restaurant is very cozy and has good vibe. The food came very quick and was very delicious. I liked the taste of zucchini fritters. Chai and coffee was also nice.

Coeliac friendly! They have a wide range of gluten free options, and when you order they specifically ask if you are a coeliac, and how they alter the meals to keep it coeliac friendly. I’ve eaten here on numerous occasions and have never had a reaction. And importantly, the food is great!

Had a lovely play date with a friend and our children this morning. Delicious food (amazing orange and dark choc muffins, I took 2 home with me to give to my mum and husband! SO YUM). Customer service was exceptional, staff went above and beyond to make our experience a good one, cleaning up spilt milkshakes and giving my daughter a marshmallow when she was crying. We will definitly be back again.

3 Little Pigs has that rare mix of comfort, personality, and really good food that keeps you sitting there longer than you planned. The first thing you notice is the vibe. It feels like you’ve walked into a quirky old friend’s house, not just another café. Vintage crates on the walls, plants everywhere, shelves full of books and little decorations. It’s relaxed, inviting, and genuinely cozy. You can actually sit, breathe, and enjoy your coffee instead of feeling rushed out the door. The kids play area was such a thoughtful touch. As parents, we’re always trying to balance enjoying brunch with keeping little ones entertained, and this place nails it. The fenced play space, chalkboard, toys… it meant we could actually talk, sip our coffee, and watch the kids have fun instead of constantly worrying. That alone is a huge win. And then the food. Brunch was honestly amazing. Generous portions, fresh ingredients, and everything came out hot and full of flavor. You can tell they actually care about what they’re serving, not just pushing plates out. The coffee was great too, smooth and strong without being bitter. The staff were lovely. Friendly without being over the top, happy to chat, and genuinely welcoming. You don’t feel like “just another table” here. Overall, this is the kind of café you remember and want to come back to. Family friendly, relaxed atmosphere, great food, and small thoughtful details everywhere. If you’re looking for a place to unwind, eat well, and let the kids enjoy themselves too, 3 Little Pigs is perfect. We’ll definitely be back.

Food and coffee was great. My wife had the gluten-free nachos and l had the calamari. Both servings were generous and very tasty. Coffee was great. Well worth a visit.
