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 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...

Stunning atmosphere and ambience, excellent service (thank you for the wonderful suggestion of a light meal that was perfect) and exceptionally rapid delivery of the meal was impressive. Truly attentive staff welcoming arrival at the first instance was just the start - the whole experience from that point forwards was fantastic, providing an impression that would carry on for the future. The “Breakfast Salad” that was ordered was certainly on point - fresh vegetables, arranged artistically on the plate to please any connoisseur and delight the senses, complimenting the surroundings and finished off perfectly with the accompanying almond latte on the side. I’ve seen a description that this venue is a combination of cafe and restaurant in one - perfect! Looking forward to return to try out other items on the menu and to enjoy the quiet, chilled ambience again in the future.

Really disappointed with the quality of the dishes we ordered. Came for the signature ricotta pancakes, which turned out to be an overloaded syrup soaked sponge cake which we struggled to get through, leaving more than half of it - if not for the high price tag and feeling bad for leaving it, we would have eaten less. The breakfast roll was even worse - way too tall for any mouth, resulting in a collapsed mess of greasy hasbrown and the most disgusting salami gristle sausage I’ve eaten this side of a deep fried tin of spam. I always hesitate to leave a bad review, but feel like this place has enough good ones to keep it in business. On the plus side service was quick and manager comp’d us the coffees by way of an apology, although I don’t think anything will change in the kitchen.

A fantastic place, quite family friendly (even with 4 kids in tow). The staff here are fantastic and very attentive, the menu is simple but has something for everyone which is excellent. Coffee is excellent and comes out pretty quickly despite how busy the place was on a Sunday morning, and the food was just as quick. Even though the food came out faster than we expected, it’s all really carefully presented. Definitely try the chilli scrambles, they come out on a focaccia bread as opposed to toast which is an awesome addition - add the chorizo for a little extra heat. We’ll definitely be back. High recommend.
