Once we entered we were greeted by the lovely owner and told of the scrumptious specials. Plenty of choices on this menu for vegetarians and meat eaters alike.

I did have a bit of brunch envy the other day with all the avocado and poached eggs being delivered to tables all around me... oh well, next time! The coffee is nice too, which makes my decision of coming back a no brainer. The only thing that wasn't perfect was the atmosphere. Definitely in need of some acoustic dampening. It was very noisy, and not very comfortable in the heat. But with the beach being right outside, if you can snag a spot outside, then you're bound to have a near perfect experience.

Now to The Cooks Pantry...delightful in a word. With so many competing cafes, bakeries, coffee houses, there needs to be an edge and by George I think they've got it!

Overall, the interior decorations is a hipsters dream. The seating within the establishment is also unique as you may sit outside on wood tables or inside with more wood tables and couches. The seating is rather intimate and close to other surrounding tables. I went in on a hot day (39.2 C) and it was rather stuffy inside. Their air conditioner was not strong enough to battle the heat. Our water was also a bit warm due to the heat and I would have loved to be offered ice. This made for an uncomfortable experience. However, I would still go to this cafe as long as it wasn't to hot! A suggestion to the owners of this fine establishment is to reposition your music set up. During our meal we wanted to enjoy the music however all we could hear was the bass and a few lyrics. This was a little annoying but is an easy fix! The food was delicious and the fruit was fresh! The staff were also very friendly and presented themselves in a professional manner as well as enjoying the overall atmosphere of this cafe.

This is a great place for an intimate catch up with friends. Although small (and you know what they…read moresay about good things coming in small packages) the food is fresh, tasty and incredibly cheap. I had 3 vegetarian spring rolls, a massive bowl of chicken lemon grass noodles and 2 glasses of wine for $30. Now that's impressive enough (who doesn't live cheap eats?) but the taste is phenomenal! The spring rolls were fresh, packed with veges with just the right amount of crunch and the noodle bowl is massive and comes with a side of chili sauce that you can pour over to add a bit of a kick, they don't skimp on the meat either! Their decor is nice enough for a casual date (maybe not your first) and there's a family friendly vibe as soon as you walk in the door and are greeted by their wonderful staff who made us laugh as well as enjoy our food. I cannot recommend this place enough and hey, if you don't have time to stop in grab a vietnamese roll on your lunch break - sure to go down a treat!

If you live this side of town its a great place to go for a cheap lunch or dinner. Rice, soup and noodle dishes are $11- $13 and the mains don't go over $20.

The walls and ceilings are stenciled with their name and decorative coffee sacks. All the cute little chairs and tables are full, so I get my coffee take away. Their food cabinet is appropriately themed for the Christmas season, so everything is red and green and very, very sugary. The two women running the shop are friendly and efficient, and help support the fun and positive atmosphere of this little room. It's nice to come across something so individual in the midst of all the typical franchises in this centre. Sadly though, the coffee is mild to the point of blandness, with no real flavour. I appreciate that it isn't made to hot, so it can be drunk almost immediately without burning, yet without the flavour and the hit of coffee, it is a disappointment.
