The food was so clean and fresh I felt like I was at a Michelin star restaurant. The staff was so friendly and helpful with the little ones, I am definitely coming back here. Five well earned stars.

Beautiful café, but the food was a let-down. Paid $40 for two poached eggs with bacon--eggs were…read moreovercooked, bacon tasted odd, and the bread was rock-hard and obviously frozen. Serving this in such a stylish place is pretty disappointing. No butter on the toast, either. Desserts were decent, but for the price and presentation, the basics should be much better. Wouldn't come back for breakfast.

TV on wall showing music videos but the customers don't seem interested in it. The place certainly looks clean and inviting in a slightly cramped clinical sort of way. The tables are small but should comfortably fit four adults but not much wiggle room around them would really limit you to three I think. The mug of Flat White is a good size and is nice and hot with a good flavour, the chai latte tastes nice but having never tried it before, I have no reference to compare it to. Certainly nice enough for me to try again. There are a plethora of items to choose from to eat. I had a delicious roast beef and salad with cheese and lovely mustard with my choice of roll, a great combination of flavours and textures. The tandoori wrap was a delight but bordered on the edge of being to hot. Then you cast your eye over a sheer symphony of delightful desserts, a masterpiece of items to get your taste buds jumping up and down with delicious anticipation. How do you decide from such a selection, can you stop at just one or do you flee to save that waist line you've sacrificed so much for. Of course you get a couple of things promising yourself to work that bit harder next time at the Gym. Enjoy, it's the little pleasures in life that add up you know. So, will I drag myself reluctantly back here. You better believe it, especially now I can afford it since cancelling that pesky gym membership. Oh oh, there goes that waist line Back to reality for a moment, there were two uninvited guests at my table today, a legacy of the open door policy, Mr Mozzy and Mrs Blowy. Other than that, a really nice little place with very friendly staff and reasonable prices. Enjoy.

The portion was was good with plenty of Avo and Salmon and the eggs were perfectly poached and runny. The only slightly negative thing I can say is that I asked for the hollandaise sauce to be on the side and it came out all over the top, but I just scrapped some off and it was fine! Coffee was great came out piping hot but not bitter. They provide plenty of alternatives to milk if needed/wanted - Soy, lactose free, almond milks etc! Space is a bit tight, but is also in the middle of a shopping centre.

What can I say that's positive?…read more Hmmm that it looks like a shed? At least the name is not a lie I guess. We were a party of 4, we ordered pies, coffees and sweets. I was not impressed, the decor was really run down and the place looked like it needed a good dusting and some windex. The table cloths were ripped and dirty from a few days ago and no one had bothered to clean anything. The plates still had some food left over that had become hard on the bottom. The coffee tasted burnt and the froth looked like a pavlova sitting on my coffee. My pie was cold in the centre and the taste was not of what I was told, it was worse. I really wanted to give this place a great review because of what others have told me but mind you they hadn't been back for years so it makes sense to me. Whatever it was in the past that had everyone talking about this place, it seriously needs to go back to it. Or renew it all. You cannot continue with the state of the place and the pies as it stands.

In short, WEIRD, staff seem stressed, and there are far better cafes close by…read more I've always wanted to love this cafe, it's near by, it's in a great location, and their menu is enticing. The staff seem like their always under the pump when the cafe is barely at half capacity, which makes me feel like the management is really pressuring their staff - I also keep seeing their previous staff at other cafes loving life, and saying as much. On top of that, the pricing.. it's insane, there is no consistency, and a Ruben with chips FOR $30? In what world is that reasonable? Food quality is hit and miss, and is okay at the best of times.

This little cafe is on the corner of the strip of shops and parking is right out front. From what I…read morecan tell it looks like it used to be or next to an ex video rental store as there are markings on the road for video rental parking. I loved the wallpaper and design that they've put into the place. Menu was easy to read and wasn't overly littered with choices. Service was a little slow and hard to get a waitress's attention but the quality and taste of the food made up for this. Felt just like being an inner suburb cafe only further away from the city. Great place to catch up over some breakfast, brunch or even lunch.
