My first visit to Light Years was for breakfast; a delicious and unforgettable meal it was…read more The location was off the beaten path, it took me about 15-20 minutes walk from the nearest metro. I was wondering why such a popular spot would be so isolated? But all is well worth the effort to get here. The venue is brimming with natural lighting, classic charm and warmth. For my breakfast, I ordered the Pixelated avocado (on a sourdough toast) because it just looked so darn intriguing. I didn't expect anything else to be honest, and turned out this was GOOD!! Every single element in this dish has complex flavors that compliments each other. The chili dried air kale, diced pixelated avocado and the soft shell crab was especially stunning. The dish certainly performs to its Instagram ability. For my drink, I ordered their matcha latte; it was strong tasting yet smooth. I could drink this all day! The Light Years is certainly not disappointing in any way, from the beautiful venue to the outstanding food, supported with service and ambiance for days. Easily, my favorite brunch spot in town at the moment and much to recommend you :).

All the dishes I saw coming out looked great and were good sized portions. I had the bircher and it was a generous serve, looked pretty and tasted even better.

Great news for family with kids, this place is perfect for you. After or before your lunch, you can visit the farm to play the animals and the farmer markets around the corner.

Overall food prices is very reasonable, all dish below $20 with the ingredients are fresh, organic, free-range, homegrown from the farm itself or local produces. The Farm Cafe is a unique experience and the staff are all friendly and attentive. The only let down on summer days there might be flies and wasps flying around

It was worth it, though the beans weren't the best that I had had (they tasted like canned baked beans). I also had the tea which, despite being in a pot, wasn't all that strong. However, it was the interior that was gorgeous, and the menu was quite good as well. A place I'd certainly want to go back to again.

I went with a friend for breakfast, and the place was buzzing and had a nice, relaxed vibe. The staff were super friendly and attentive. The corn and zucchini fritters were to die for. My friend had the fruit salad, which was so fresh and delicious. The muesli and mint garnish added so much texture and flavour to the dish. The only thing I'd criticise about sojo was that the coffees are quite small, and we ended up having to buy 2 each to get our coffee fix. Having said that, i would not hesitate to recommend sojo to my friends. I will definitely be back.

As this is a busy place we had various people both sides of us throughout our brunch. They now know more about my life than I'd prefer. The dishes my companion and I had were mighty impressive. For a start, both dishes were visually stunning (see photos), impressively composed and very flavoursome. Mine was the Huevos Sucios or the Dirty Eggs. I cannot fault the dish particularly as the jalapeño flavour was so beautifully balanced that it gave a delightful length to the meal that lasted well after I finished it. It was never over hot either. The temperature was bang on. Plus, I thought it was good value for money. The Dirty Mary for $10 with this dish is a steal and it's a superb drink. This is better than any version of Mary I tried recently in Hawaii where they'd claim to make the drink better. They don't. My dining companion had the king salmon which he declared as delicious too. Our coffees to finish were lovely as well and topped off a pleasant and successful venture. I'd like to give the place a 4.5, but that option isn't available as has been canvassed here at length. On balance, mainly due to the squeezy tables for two, I'd round down to 4 this time not up to 5. Tough judgements these.
