Reviews
We came to this cafe after parkrun and a quick read on Google review, we were so glad we came!
It was very busy, we had to wait for a few minutes to be seated but the service was nice and friendly, we didn't mind waiting at all.
I love the scrambled eggs with chilli oil, the east west fusion is the style I like, the egg was also cooked just perfect for me with a little bit still raw at the top.
Love the coffee too, there are cold brew options as well, well done guys!
Whatever you are doing with the chicken and waffles, NEVER CHANGE! The waffle is one of the best I've tasted in ages! And your service is unbelievable. We were really late with a booking and had a party of seven plus a dog. You guys accommodated us so well even when two needed to pop inside to get out of the cold. The coffee, food and service are excellent and we have been talking about this breakfast days after we ate it!
We found this place online with really good reviews so decided to check it out. After a 30 minute drive, on a weekday, we were seated immediately and as we sipped on our very delicious batch brew coffee, the cafe filled up in no time.
Despite the rush, we were served promptly and thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast.
The atmosphere is very relaxed and inviting, the staff is warm and friendly and the food delectable!
Will definitely come back here again!
Ahhh cannot believe there is a gem so close to home. Staff were so friendly and attentive, food was fresh and flavourful, coffee was top notch, and the cafe was really nicely decorated with relatively easy parking and lots of seating inside and outside. I booked a Sunday for 2 at 10:45am and highly recommend booking as it was peak brunch / breakfast time.
Bircher muesli was apparently really good - my friend ordered this and said everything went well together and tasted fresh. I ordered the asian squid salad with avo on the side. Likewise, it was really fresh and went well with the mirin and soy dressing.
We had stayed about an hour or so just chatting, and reservations were starting to pop up. Staff kindly asked us to start wrapping up and even apologised. We understood and went to get ready to pay and leave. About 5 mins later staff informed they had found another spot for the pair and we could stay longer. They were really nice about it!
I’ll be back to try some other goodies! Absolutely loved my experience.
Great atmosphere, very clean and tidy cafe. Headed there after a 1000 steps walk. Pretty packed when we went there on a Sunday 11am.
We got the philly cheese steak and avo toast, both tasted very good with lots of appetising flavours. The price was on the higher end for a brunch but it was still really nice. We paid for what we got.
When we went there, it took us a while to get seated but the staff were really lovely and looked after us well. There was always someone around and they checked in with us frequently.
One of my favourite places to visit when I'm in the area. Fab coffee, great variety of cafe snacks (the dark choc and walnut cookie is to die for imho!), and ample amount of seating. Parking can be tricky during peak periods but so worth it to dine in or even get takeaway! They also have discounted coffee for emergency service workers (just need to be in uniform) which is 🙌. Perfect for those following a plant-based diet as you will have plenty of options. Coffee can take a while when it's busy as well so plan ahead a wee bit if you're in a rush!
EDITED: bummer they took off the vegan chai but service is still top notch. Love the seasonal menu.
Busy cafe with great food! I’d advise to book ahead as the lines for a table can be huge especially on the weekends. The food and coffee was great but it took a while to be served
Lovely atmosphere and great coffee. The service was good too, considering it was a busy Saturday morning. However, it did take a little while to be greeted and seated. There is plenty of seating inside and out, but parking was busy out the front.
Our food looked amazing and the Avo Toast was great (especially with the extra bacon) but the baked eggs looked better than they tasted. They lacked a little flavour. The menu had plenty to choose from. However, the standout was the baked goods in the display cabinet. They looked beautifully homemade and delicious. I’d love to come back for one of those.
