Why Our Little Ray of Sunshine wins locally
Strong 4.4★ average with solid review depth — customers actively recommend this café. Central position captures pass-by and destination traffic.
Lesson for new entrants: Differentiate through a single hero product (single-origin filter, pastry-led, or health-forward bowls) — generic third-wave coffee will not stand out here.
Rank #3 among cafés within ~800m of Sandringham centre (Google Places cache, June 2026).
Sandringham context for a new café
