French toast with berries, compote and marscopone was delicious (if a trifle sweet for me). Toast with poached eggs and avocado was cooked perfectly and served with the freshest lemon. Coffee was fine in terms of flavour (not "great"), but perfectly extracted and tricky soy microfoam spot on (unlike some more dedicated coffee joints around town). Best brunch all round. Also enjoyed the low-key funk/soul on the sound system today. Nice airy fit-out and decor, and plenty of outside seating

The smoked trout tortilla is a great, high protein way to start the day, while the sausage and egg brioche burger is a significant upgrade on what you could get at other *ahem* breakfast outlets, with crunchy and fresh tasting bread and a rather delicious onion marmalade. I haven't tried the lemon pancakes but they are on my to-try list. The meals are well presented and just right in portion size. The prices are reasonable in Canberra terms but beware the sides- I paid $3 for the mushrooms, which was literally one medium size mushroom. Be sure to make a reservation as its a popular place, and bring cash if you plan on splitting bills.

Everything was lovely. We'll be back when we are strolling the foreshore again!

Being seated in the lower area and dining surrounded by books was lovely. The food itself was not as good as to be expected. It is (or as visible to my family and I) an all day breakfast cafe which was unexpected, but we didn't mind having brunch. The food was not to taste and I personally found the eggs Benedict quite disappointing (far too much meat, of high quality, and the sriracha hollandaise was foamy and tasteless). The big breakfast is good value, however the smaller items appear overpriced for the quality level. No doubt the coffee is amazing as this place is so popular, but I can't recommend paying for the food here. Definitely a place to sit and enjoy coffee in this cafe, however that being said the cafe wasn't very full when I dined here so when noise levels increase it's peaceful appeal would greatly lessen. As a young woman going out to cafe there are quieter places to eat with better food while being surrounded by books.
