😐 Lovely decor, bright and fresh feel with lots of proper plants 🪴😀 (I hate plastic plants). Sadly - my poached eggs were very underdone and I couldn’t eat most of them ☹️ At $16 for two eggs on toast I expect a good standard of poaching. The iced coffee was lovely but I’m not sure I would go back.

    This a large cafe with a nice interior. They have lots of food options. I tried a blueberry cheesecake brownie and a flat white with coconut milk and one sugar. I loved the brownie! The flavors mixed well. The flat white was a bit too bitter for me even with the flavored milk and sugar, so I didn’t love it, but their coffee is good if you don’t like it sweet.

    The place is fairly large but it was quite busy and full. I came by as part of a course for lunch. They did have an interesting menu but I just ended up getting something from the cabinet and there was a fair selection. I was able to try the Thai pork with noodles and the keto with a side of Ceasar salad and they were both quite nice. The hot chocolate here was also quite nice.

    Nice and spacious cafe. Friendly service. Lot of food choices including the pantries. Menu was quite interesting with some Asian inspired dishes. In term of flavors, it was a bit lacking. Some were a bit too salty for my preference. Matcha was disappointing.

    Came for lunch today, the fresh cream scone was very nice, others dishes were not bad too! A Returnable place

    Came here looking for breakfast and I found a perfectly average bacon and eggs dish. The toast was crunchy while everything was meh! Lovely atmosphere but if you can't make bacon and eggs work, I hardly think you can do great things with more complicated dishes

    Excellent food here all week round. Selection of cabinet and menu food is very wide to cater to any taste. I got the Dutch cocoa hot cakes and egg Benedict, and both dishes were deliciously creative and impressed me. Good coffee too. Only downside is that it is hard to find parking so we had to park on the street, but is better if you work nearby and can walk where

    We only came here for coffees but I was impressed by their huge variety of cabinet food and that appear fresh and very tempting. The savoury selection will fill up as it gets closer to ~10am. There were no price signs for each cabinet item unfortunately so you will need to enquire. The girl who served us did not appear particularly friendly and also got our milk order wrong - but look, it was quite early in the morning so she probably needed a coffee herself! I do look forward to trying out some of their menu items and will update this review accordingly :)
