Came for Mother’s Day and don’t remember it being a bad experience but also nothing special. Food was just typical brunch food but what I did like was the amazing service and the presentation of the food which was lights out. Close to being a 5 star but just lacked the flavour a bit.

Food is nice, but it’s overpriced for what’s it’s offering. This is especially true for the lemon meringue waffle 🧇 and fried chicken burger 🍔. Would suggest booking if you prefer seating indoors, but there’s outside seating available too. Food took a while to arrive, but it’s nice when the orders arrive together. Overall a nice place for brunch.

A charming cafe nestled among contemporary buildings, this venue is perfect for a lovely brunch. The dishes are fresh and attractively presented, with prices that correspond to the quality. The friendly and welcoming staff add to the experience, and the inviting ambiance features plenty of natural light and greenery. I've brunched here several times, and it consistently impresses.

I had the chilli scrambled eggs and it was okay. Would’ve been better with sourdough than focaccia. The chilli used could have been better/had more flavour. I was a bit let down but the matcha latte. It tasted like a low grade matcha and also very mild. Similar to having warm milk with a slight matcha taste. It was also packed with ice so it watered down very quickly.

A little more expensive than nearby cafes but also a little different, so worth the extra for a treat. Nice looking place full of character, nestled amidst some high rise apartments. Had the lemon meringue waffle and it was amazing! It was busy but they found us a seat. Service was good, food and coffee was good. Will definitely go again to check out some of the fantastic looking things going by on plates...
