Coffee Corner Cafe on Eastgate Ave in Castleview feels like a calm pit stop for people working nearby or locals looking for a relaxed midday break. It’s primarily a cafe and takeout spot with a straightforward setup — not a bustling coffeehouse, but a welcoming, down-to-earth place where you can grab a good sandwich or a homemade cake alongside a well-made coffee.

The atmosphere is quiet and unpretentious. Many visitors describe the vibe as comfortable and laidback, with friendly staff who know regular customers by name. Parking right outside the door makes it convenient for a quick lunch or coffee run, especially for office workers or those passing through Little Island. While it’s not the kind of place to linger long, it suits people who want a simple, honest meal without fuss.

The menu leans nicely towards lunch-friendly options, including hot and cold sandwiches that draw positive comments, notably the Sweet Chilli Chicken Wrap and seasonal ciabattas. Homemade cakes are also a highlight here, making it a spot where you might pair your coffee with something sweet. Coffee lovers will appreciate that they roast and sell their own blend by the bag, which adds a local touch for those wanting to take a bit of Coffee Corner home.

Visitors note that the prices lean a little higher but consider it fair for the quality and service. The interior has been recently refreshed, keeping things simple and functional. While toilet facilities are said to be adequate rather than exceptional, it’s not often a deciding factor for the crowd this place attracts.

Overall, Coffee Corner Cafe fits best for those seeking a reliable, friendly spot to recharge during the workday or enjoy a casual lunch in Little Island without the noise and rush of bigger venues. Morning and lunchtime seem like the prime times to drop in, especially on weekdays when nearby workers pop in for a coffee and sandwich before heading back to the office.

What was not to love! Great choice of lunch items, hot and cold. Great personable staff. Comfortable and laidback vibe. Parking outside the door. Might move to 5 ⭐ on my next visit when I've had the chance to sample more than a tasty, toasted sandwich and checked out the toilet facilities. Dec '25 back again. Enjoyed a seasonal ciabatta. Lovely staff again. Toilet facilities ok, not great in terms of cleanliness but it may have been just before a mid service clean to give them the benefit of the doubt.

One great place badly needed in the area. The staff are extremely helpful and pleasant.. they do delicious sandwiches and homemade cakes. They sell their coffee by the bags. It’s got a nice atmosphere and they do great coffees .
