A random decision to stop here after running a race to raise money for breast cancer in Brighton and trying to find something nice to eat that was away from all the crowds. This little gem had delicious food and great service that really stood out. I'll be back for another visit when I'm back in the area.

The staff were very friendly. Thanks to the two ladies who served me! The place was really nice and the atmosphere was light and refreshing. Plus the toilets were super clean. I ordered a cinnamon and cappuccino. It was all perfect. A very good cup as well. A nice little treat when taking yourself out.

The place is pretty big and there's plenty of parking outside the cafe. They have nice sitting arrangements but it was a little painful to sit on a hard wood bench inside the cafe for an hour or so. They should have some cushions on the bench inside the cafe. However, the ambiance was calm and the cafe was not too noisy. We booked the table half an hour before we reached and the table was ready with the menus and water before we arrived. Good to see our table ready to go. The staff was very welcoming and smiling all the time. I would love to see a smiling staff before ordering my first coffee in the morning. We ordered Flat white and Cappuccino which were very good in taste. The barista tried to have a complex Latte art but could not do a great job on it. However, full marks on the taste. We ordered Shakshuka and chilli scrambled eggs. I liked Shakshuka as it was not too sour and the spices were well balanced. The chilli scrambled eggs was presented with mushrooms on the top on a single piece of bread which I prefer instead of 2. I would love to visit this place again for a good coffee and to try some other food.

What a find! Waking up on a rainy Saturday morning, we decided to try this cafe, situated right next to Ripponlea Train Station. Really good coffee but what really made it for us was the food. New on their menu is the amazing Ba Baa Lamb Burger! Succulent lamb patty with haloumi in a brioche bun... Words can't describe it because my mouth was so full! 🤤 The service was really nice and the staff very warm and friendly! Definitely coming back here with friends and family!

Finally made it to Turning Point and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's bright and spacious inside with a beautiful yet simple interior. We were shown to our table quickly and given time to look over their delicious sounding menu. They offer breakfast for most of the day, and lunch from late morning, so there's a lot to choose from, but I decided to go with the Two Cheese Beef Burger, but just asked them to hold the brie. The mix of pickled onions and English mustard, gave it a nice punch and a distinctive difference to other burgers out there. The fries with it were spot on; perfectly cooked and tasty. I will say, however, that another reviewer (or two) were right when they said the brioche buns were dry and crumbly. I really wish restaurants and cafes would give you the option of a bun. I don't like brioche buns (mainly because I don't like sweet and savoury together), because they CAN be dry, and this is the part where the meal let us down just slightly. With that all said, I really recommend Turning Point for either breakfast, lunch or brunch. Parking CAN be brutal (it's right outside a train station), though yesterday there were cars pulling in and out of spaces, so you can be lucky. It's worth it though, because the food is good and I cannot wait to come back and try other items they have on offer (which can also extend to their cabinet of treats near the cash register where they sell items to go, if you wish ...).
