Amazing service and fantastic food. Best cafe breakfast we’ve had for a while and definitely worth the trek from the south side. Dog friendly, serves quality specialty coffee and stocks multiple whole bean varieties for sale.

Really great cafe. There is undercover parking you can use and the view from the tables is great. Food was delicious and while they did almost accidentally feed gluten to a coeliac, they came out and stopped up before we had any and remade it without the offending ingredient. Phew! Staff were very friendly.

Nice little cafe serving up good coffee and food with a lot of unique options. Can access from the city via the 475 bus route. Plenty of seating options both inside and outside, each with good sized tables. The owner/manager there is pleasant and knowledgeable. I like that they offer several different styles for their mocha latte, including white, dark and regular. No macadamia milk here, but they do have other nondairy options including almond. Loses a star because they impose a surcharge on card transactions. Almost everyone today pays with card, so they should just set a proper menu price and do away with all the silly hidden surcharges, similar to what every business already does with GST. Also, their tax receipts aren't itemized which makes expense reimbursement for business travel more challenging. They should consider upgrading their pos system to something more modern like square or similar.

Reading other reviews I was a little cautious. Very pleasantly surprised. So much that I had to give them a review. The latte was great, nice texture, smooth lingering aftertaste. Toasted sandwich was fantastic - nice bread, just the right mixture of ham, cheese, tomato with a great twist of caramelised onion. Well done chef! No photos as I couldn’t wait to eat.

Love this place! Great coffee (my husband is very discerning and he loves it)…. The food is “ next level”… my go to place if I’m going to really save a coffee with family or friends. well lit , so if you need a space to go and read or write it, it’s perfect… although I wouldn’t mind if the lights were slightly dimmer just to give a warm ambience, but I do love it.

Really lovely suburban cafe with passion for coffee. The baristas know coffee so well and source only good coffees around Australia. The place is welcoming and spacious. People working there are quite attentive and proud of what they offer. Def recommend.
