“ Great coffee and snacks. We had cappuccinos, a raspberry muffin and warm banana bread. All fabulous. Great range of sandwiches and wraps for a quick lunch also at great prices eg: $6 for a ham and cheese toastie. After some of the prices on the road we have seen this was great to see. Lots of locals in and out too which is usually a good sign. Thanks Roma ”

“ Well isn't this just simply THE Jewel in the Crown in Roma! What a beautiful, warm atmosphere to grab a Coffe, a Cappuccino or something to eat & receive the most genuinely friendly customer service by such warm, naturally gregarious Baristas! No waiting for eternity for my order, not priced as though the coffee beans are hand picked by the Dalai Lama up in the mountains and everything is actually prepared by the Girls fresh daily! Love this place & hope it always retains its warmth & it's quality. 5 stars without reservation! ”
“ We went for a quick coffee. Coffee was okay. Service was good. Its a busy street, so parking can be tricky. ”
“ Brilliant coffee and the freshly baked sweets looked amazing. Sadly we couldn’t eat any as there were no gluten free options :( ”
“ Very happy with this find! We weren’t expecting to find good coffee, let alone specialty coffee on our travels through outback Queensland. Only serving takeaways at the moment, we ordered a strong latte and strong piccolo and the coffees were excellent, temperature was perfect and extremely well priced. ”
