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...
Stayed locally and went here every morning for breakfast, great service and vibe. Quite busy, wear warm clothes as there is alot of room outside when no seats are inside. My favourite dishes were the chilli crab eggs and the seasonal avocado. Would go back again
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.
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.
A lovely brunch place with warm and attentive service. All the dishes were beautifully presented. What we ordered: - Coffee: The long black really packed a punch, but was a tad sour for my liking. Would have made a good flat white! - Hot Cakes: This was spectacular but a really huge portion. Good for 2-4 people to share. The crust was crispy and so good with a soft and moist centre. - Chai Flax & Almond Granola: Light dish but I felt it was a bit indulgent to be served over whipped cream not yoghurt. - Maple Bacon Eggs Benedict: The eggs were cooked to perfection, and I liked that it was served on a potato rosti cake instead of the usual bread! A good choice for a savoury item.
