"The sausage rolls!!!! They’re juicy and delicious and make for great hand warmers too! If you come and there’s still some left, buy them all and fill your pockets for a day of succulent snacking and warm hands. Lots of space to sit and a great setting. Clearly a lot of time and effort has gone into setting this place up and running it. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to capture a photo of the sausage roll because it fell into my mouth, but you can get an idea of the size by looking at the shape of the crumbs."

"I enjoy lounging in the Fairlie Cafe whether it is to socialize with Terrace locals or get down to work. The food is delicious and the staff is friendly. The cookies are awesome, especially their oat peanut butter. Make sure you get it warmed up. Life is better with a gooey, chewy cookie."

"What a lovely spot to meet with people and gather with friends! I drop by about once a week for a delicious beverage or tasty treat (so grateful that they often have gluten free, vegan and vegetarian options). We recently hired them to cater for our wedding and they were super accommodating with our guests' dietary restrictions and helped bring my reception dinner vision come to life. The chicken shawarma pies are legendary! Thanks again to Heather and Manuela for their kindness, creativity and great service."
