Walked in for a (very very) late breakfast on a Sunday afternoon. We were sat and attended to very quickly despite it being busy. Food and coffee service was fast and friendly. The big breakfast was incredible, eggs were perfect and the coffee was some of the best I’ve ever had I highly recommend for a cosy, generous and simple feed

The cafe haa a small play area at the back, which was enough to entertain our toddler so we could enjoy a conversation. While their online menu listed kids' pasta, it wasn't available on the actual menu. However, the owner kindly made a simple pasta with butter and cheese for our toddler, which was a lifesaver since that's all she wanted all morning. We tried the Cubano on Panini with pulled pork and the Blue Lily Benny on Brisket, while our friends had the Pork Belly on Bao Bun. Everything was delicious. We'll definitely return because of the fantastic service!

Not the most inviting atmosphere/ decor but service and food make up for it. Chilli scramble was amazing, but PLEASE give option to change croissant to toast. Huge portion, and probably best value in area. $24 for coffee and brekkie, bargain in todays prices.

I recently visited this cafe and had a wonderful experience. The customer service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who made us feel right at home. The food was delicious, and the coffee was perfectly brewed. The warm and inviting atmosphere made it a great place to relax. I especially enjoyed the cozy seating area at the rear and appreciated the dedicated play spot for kids. Highly recommend this cafe for anyone looking for a great meal and a welcoming environment!

Very good food. Big breakfast was really big. Very good portion. Karaage chicken bao was very good, but 3 baos were not sufficient for one person. Chicken Panini was great and very filling. Star of the show was Chilli scramble with croissant. It was very delicious and portion was very big.

Food and coffee came out really quickly and was delicious. So glad I ordered the Reuben bagel because it made my day! The iced latte was great too, was offered sugar syrup to sweeten if I needed (it didn’t need it but was nice to not be expected to use sugar granules for a cold drink) and the server was lovely and polite. Will happily return

Coffee was top notch. Asked for bacon and egg roll, and it was outstanding. Relish spinach, eggs cooked perfectly. Nice staff. Best coffee and breakfast around imho.
