Had lunch here with a friend because it was quieter than the rest of Macquarie Centre. That also makes it popular with older folks, and the menu seems to reflect that. I had a wonderful loose leaf raspberry rosehip tea, but I had to laugh when my cheese toasty with chicken was delivered--it was exclusively cheap cheddar on whole wheat with white meat chicken, exactly like something my grandmother might have served me when I was small.
My friend had the loose leaf eucalyptus tea and ordered the quinoa and kale breakfast, but ten minutes later was told they were out of quinoa. She asked for extra avocado to replace it, which they happily supplied, but it was cute because all of the ingredients were separated out on the plate so nothing would touch. Our two meals cost $39 altogether.
The service here is unusually quick and friendly--they turn over the tables at an astounding rate and you pay up front on your way out the door. I would gladly come back for cake and coffee (they have a wide array of sweets and I bet they're good!) but might skip out on doing a full fledged meal again. read more
