    Inviting facade, welcoming voice that greets every customer that walks into the sweet and cosy surroundings with a high ceiling and warm furnishings. Complimentary sky juice served in a bottle, artfully curated breakfast and healthy lunch options combined with an eager serving team when even the team member on break will put aside his lunch and jump in to serve. Top them of with bill sizes that's wallet friendly. Add these up. There you have it. It's an almost perfect sanctuary to enjoy the meal and connect with friends over breakfast or lunch. Been here again and again and will be back again.

    Located on the ground floor of an office block this slightly unassuming cafe, everything on the menu is very reasonably priced and I had set my expectations lower due to this. To my surprise the meatlovers burger was honestly one of the best I’ve had in recent history!

    The prices was what attracted me. Breakfast munchies range from $5-14 which is very affordable. We had a total for 6 items which accumulated to $40! We had the smoked salmon with scrambled eggs and sour dour bread which was very good πŸ‘πŸ» Tomato soup went well with the toast. The chocolate cake was alittl too much for me but that’s fine. The coffee could be better. We had the ice mocha and ice sweet potato latte. But considering the price, food and the wonderful staff, definitely worth coming back

    Surrounded by terrace houses in Jalan Pemimpin, quite and clean, it is a good place for breakfast. It serves mainly sandwiches and omelette before 11am. I like the Cheesy egg sandwich, freshly toasted, runny and juicy. My daughter found mushroom omelette to be her favorite. That day’s special is roasted tomato soup, best dip for bread and toast. Coffee was normal but worth the price. We finished with apple crumble, topping with fresh cream. Before we left, it was already lunch hour, it looks nice from others order. We will try out next time.

    Value for money cafe with a very good selection for breakfast & lunch. They close early on Saturdays, at 3pm & is closed whole day on Sundays & Mondays. Really enjoyed the burnt vegetables soup & American cheese burger πŸ” A slight miss on the sausage pancakes with scrambled eggs. We couldn’t figure the taste & texture of the sausage patty. Overall was a good experience & we will come back to try other items on the menu.

    Amazing amazing food. Love the mushroom omolette and their tomato based food - meatball pasta and tomato soup (very appetising). The grilled cheese sandwich is also what I wanted. For the drinks we had oolong latte and iced mocha. Personally liked the iced mocha better.

    Drinks were pretty alright! The kefir was yummy and the coffee was decent. Great environment if you’d like a quiet spot to have a chat or get some work done. Food, however, was fairly disappointing despite rave google reviews. Chicken was well cooked but severely lacking in flavour, pasta sauce was congealed and the mash was diluted. Sauce for said mash was also very watery - almost like a sort of thick soup. At least the pasta was al dente?

    Very nice cafe with calm and soothing vibes. Went at 4.30pm for early dinner and there was not much crowd. Pleasant environment for chatting. Ordered beef meatball pasta and chicken pasta. The pasta was undercooked a bit so was chewy and hard to consume. HOWEVER, the flavour of the pasta sauce, the meatballs and the chicken tasted amazing and the portion is fantastic as well for $9.90. Would go back to try again and hope that the pasta is cooked well.

    Cosy little cafe nestle among private estate and industrial building. Great staff service and cheerful too. Masala chai tasty spicy due to large piece of ginger but love it. Sweet potato latte taste bland. Cake was tasty. Bacon omelette was tasty and fluffy. Meat lovers burger is great with simple ingredient.

    Quiet and peaceful cafe even on the weekends. Service was superb - friendly, efficient and very quick to serve. Food was quite good as well! I ordered the cheeseburger - Potato wedges were very fresh and well done. Hojicha latte was very nice but a little too sweet for my liking - price is very reasonable as well

    A little out of the way for me, will try to return though! Food is awesome!!! 10/10 Not for salty "heavy" taste people. The meatball with mashed potato has a light taste with a plethora of aroma. I really enjoyed the dish thoroughly.

    Very warm and friendly crew!! Felt welcomed the moment we walked in the door. They serve complimentary bottle of water. Ordered the day's special lasagna and flat white - really good food at a decent price! All drinks were served in a paper cup but they used real plates and cutlery for the food. It has a homey kind of atmosphere. The cafe is in floor one of a building in a residential area. A nice stop after walking at Macritchie Reservoir.

    Recommended by a friend to try this cafe out and πŸ₯° we loved it! Welcoming service. Friendly greetings. Cosy ambience. Reasonable prices. What more can we ask for? Lunch was Chicken & Salad and Aglio Olio with Meatballs.πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹ Simple yet great tasting food. They even sell crafts e.g. earrings, paintings from local artists... πŸ₯° Love it when establishments support local talents This is a wonderful hideaway from the crowds! But my friend's only complaint is it's opening hours - wished they were opened longer and more days πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ perhaps its the case of absence makes the heart grown fonder πŸ’ž Will definitely be back for more.

    Great quiet cafe with affordable delicious menu and coffee! The simple cheeseburger ($14.90) has 2 cute 75g thick patties with ample cheese in a brioche bun. Bread pudding slice ($3.50) is nice and cinnamon-y. Only thing was food was abit slow to arrive.

    A hidden coffee joint with great brunch and coffees. Love their weekend tacos specials and their sandwiches. I find their pricing very reasonable, friendly staff along with decent food and ambience that makes the place chill. Will be back again.

    It's a pleasant surprise to find this cafe in a office block. The quality of food is good + reasonable pricing. Though the portion size is not big but it's taste good. Service staff is very helpful with food recommendation. Will go back and try other things on the menu.

    Found this place on Google Map and the reviews were good with nice pictures of the food. Located in an office building within a residential area, this place packed a crows during lunch when we were there. Service was OK as the (male) manager ( I assume) displayed impatience when we were asking some questions on the food and portion size as my dining partner was excited to try many dishes but it was only the two of us. The portion of the sandwiches were not as large as what was shown in the pictures. But it was nice. We also had the chicken and mash which was also nice but I am pretty adverse to have the chicken and mash drowning on the mash gravy. Coffee was decent. For pastry, we ordered the pound cake and chocolate tart. I like the pound cake. The chocolate tart pastry base seem a bit on the dry side. They had refrigerated the tart instead of placing it in the display fridge. Refrigerating the tart may be the cause for the dry pastry base. A nice place to go to be away from the hustle and bustle but reservations is recommended.

    Place looked promising with 4.6 stars but I was disappointed with the food. We ordered a burger and a breakfast item, the burger patty is unseasoned and the mushrooms and scrambled eggs from the breakfast as well. Both items were not hot when they arrived at our table. They also use paper plates and cups for some reason??

    The Christmas bone-in ham was that good that I ordered 2 for the 1st round & ended up ordering a 3rd! It tastes good on its own without the sauce. It is the 1st not too salty yet still tasty ham that even kids & my elderly parents love it! I had to order another 1 before it runs out!

  • 5/5 Isabel 2 years ago on Google
    Well priced, airy and homey space. Special mention to their beef burger and homemade chocolate cake, you'll be surprised at how good they are for a simple cafe at this price point. Service was great too (especially Lynette). So glad to have this cafe near me! Will be back often.

    Absolutely delightful food here with their daily specials. Down to earth staff who genuinely care for their customers and provide a wonderful dining experience. Food is delicious and yet very reasonably priced for its portion.

  • 5/5 Natasha T. 10 months ago on Google
    The pics doesn't do it justice! Honey mustard chicken burger - YUM Egg and cheese toast - simple and done well Flat white - perfect Bread pudding - amazeballz! Pound cake - forgot what cake I ordered but their bakes are really YUM! MUST ORDER. Service is superb!! Staff was rrly attentive and kind. Our child had spit up and quite abit got onto the floor. The staff quietly put additional tissues knowing we'd need it. He also said not to worry abt the mess as I was tryna clean it up. Rrly appreciated the attention and understanding! Wld defo be back! (:

    The service was outstanding. The atmosphere and decor was ok, but was really cold when were there, but the open kitchen trapped the food smell in the restaurant. Food was average. But for the price of the meal, over all good value.

  • 5/5 Darren L. 3 years ago on Google
    Chanced upon this hidden gem and was pleasantly surprised by their wonderful lunch options. Food was great and came at a very affordable & reasonable price. On top of that, the staff were super friendly and polite. Definitely looking forward to come back and try more of their other menu options.

    Enjoyed a yummy breakfast at this little cafe. Highly recommended to try this hidden gem for good coffee and good food at a great price. I liked that there is parking available right outside the cafe, which is on the ground floor of an Office Building.

    Enjoy a quiet and nice Saturday breakfast with friend in this small cafe with good service and reasonable prices. I checked other people's google review and found that this Turkey ham n egg Sandwich looks delicious and it is really nice!

  • 5/5 Marc S. 2 years ago on Google
    i order fairly frequently from TSP, and always enjoy the omelettes and their sandwiches. (only wish the omelettes were a bit cheaper!) i most recently tried their cheeseburger and i must say, it was so good! this is amongst one of the best burgers i’ve ever had! and that was unexpected, coming from a cafe and not a full fledged restaurant. huge kudos to the TSP team for coming up with such a delicious menu!

  • 5/5 Paromita M. 2 years ago on Google
    Quality food for decent price. Enjoyed the Saturday Specials which included smoked salmon and eggs on a sourdough crust. The bread was good and there was generous amounts of salmon and eggs. The dark chocolate brownie is perfect with a very rich chocolate flavour. Coffee is good too. Overall an excellent place to have brunch or dinner. Staff is very hospitable too.

  • 5/5 Amelia 2 years ago on Google
    We've been coming here regularly for breakfast on the weekend. Coffee has improved over time but if you like strong coffee I recommend to order extra shot otherwise it'll be too milky. Their range of toasted sandwiches for breakfast are delicious. Great service always and good ambience. One small thing, the exhaust system needs to be improved, the smell of foods is very strong and lingers in your clothes and hair after you leave
