    This cafe is a gorgeous little gem in Blackburn North, with almost the entire menu able to be veganised (happy days!!). The staff are super friendly & helpful, & happy to offer suggestions if you are really struggling to choose between the delicious options on offer. Listen to their advice - it is invariably excellent! The soy lattes are delicious too.

    cute space, good coffee, Love the slice, but the food we ordered were a bit boring and flavourless from our liking.

    Another cool little cafe located in a residential area. Love the vibe and friendly staff. I came to try mama Vicki’s meatballs but it was sold out. Nooo,!!!!! both my second and third choices, “salami get this straight” and “gozleme”, were also sold out.

    Finally there is a decent cafe in Donny east region! Not saying others are not good but this one definitely stands out and can be compared with those big names in the city. The house blend coffee (I had long black), has a very nice sugarcane fragrance. It’s border line between espresso and long black! Rather nice! Food was also interesting and generous. Very yummy and the ingredients are fresh, unconventional! Best part is, every table around me is praising how good their dishes are! This is a gem in the suburb! Hallelujah!!

    Cafe in a very quiet corner. Foods are ok with small portion. Coffee just OK, no latte art.

    Quiet little cafe amongst suburbia. Hipster decor. Excellent coffee but food is a little overpriced. Gipsy Kings (Baked eggs) - don't be surprised if you can't find your eggs. They mix it in so it cooks quicker. Loved the chillies in this - most of the seeds taken out so it's not too hot. When in Rome (avo/mush/tomato on toast) but stingy on the toppings for two pieces of toast.

    Such a cute little local cafe- has lots of promise, but needs a LOT more variety on its menu. Service was slow, food was bland, parking often limited. Eating in was not fun, but a takeaway gozeleme is a better option. Better range of shelf products for sale than food on menu. Vegetarians and vegans might enjoy this place more than we did ...

    Little Woodpecker Cafe is a reasonable little Cafe with a decent menu. Coffee is alright. Staff are friendly. This cafe is in a very quiet area with no noticeable woodpeckers.

    Great coffee and friendly service. Little Woodpecker is very popular with the locals. The meals have been very good and generous servings. Enjoyed the Spanish Harlem (Omelette) 28/6/21...beautiful 👍

    Really nice local cafe, coffee used to be really good but recently the coffee standards have dropped, hopefully they can fix that up.

    Little cafe in suburban. Plenty of space indoor and there some outdoor seating. We had chilli scrambled egg and smashed avo. Coffee was just average. The food portion was small for the price. Only take card for payment.

    Nice little cafe, good strong coffee

    A bit taken aback with this cafe despite the decent reviews it had. I also work in hospitality and understand it is tough at the moment for all restaurants and cafe but this was not it. We ordered some breakfast and coffees for the table. The food was fine and the service was also fine. I had an ice latte but there was not enough espresso and therefore was mostly milk. Ordered a hot coffee too and again not enough espresso so super pale in colour and no latte art. We also ordered a side of mushrooms which when it came I was quite surprised because it was just one flat portobello mushroom that was $5. I think it should have been mentioned and I think just one mushroom for $5 is a bit steep. Another note was the serviettes. It felt quite thin which there is nothing wrong with that however I realised that they were actually cut in half from the original when you inspect it closer. I understand that costs have increased but to save on serviettes like this was probably too much. An overall increase in the menu would have been better as the price is actually quite reasonable.

    Nice place for lunchtime, good coffee. Pet friendly with street-side seating and also 2 tables behind the building. Would go more often if they had decaf.

    Plenty of spaces inside. Maybe because we came early (8am on a Sunday). Great selection of sweets and savories. Had the scrambled eggs. Tasted great, normal priced. Will definitely go again if I’m in that region. I think it’ll be great of have some selection of savory food on display. Maybe they weren’t made yet when we came but something too sweet in the morning isn’t for me.
