To Perk Up // Coffee Factory Cafe

Another quality coffee spot in Gawler Street in Port Noarlunga has been a great hit. Being the factory of ‘coffee’ is indicative of their main focus, however the breakfast, cakes and extras are well presented and delicious. The modern, street style shop design is eye catching whilst not losing the cosy coffee shop appeal.
So happy for these newcomers and even more happy with their spectacular coffee.
Don’t wait! Get yourself in there.
