We enjoyed the food very much. The bread with butter was crispy and soft. The omelette with homemade tomato sauce made the taste freshly. Loved the rich mocha and matcha latte.

An excellent cafe for having lunch. This was our first time and we thoroughly enjoyed all the dishes we ordered. The staff were very friendly which is something I always look out for. The chips were very crispy and crunchy, the chicken Parma was delicious, the toast with scrambled egg and tomato relish was tasty. So overall a wonderful experience and we would highly recommend this place to others.

I came to Australia to visit friends, and the first place I was took was this lovely little restaurant. I had my first proper long black coffee here and an avocado & mushroom burger here. It was delightful. I had to make it a point for it to be my last stop on my travel before headed home. 10/10 when I come back to visit again, this is a must.
