It's located in the center of a really cute garden so the view is nice when things are in full bloom. We were able to get a table right away and sat in the corner of the cafe. CHAI This drink was disappointing. It was way too sweet for my liking. I didn't taste much chai because the sugar was overpowering. The consistency was smooth, but flavor needs more work. STRAWBERRY MILKSHAKE This milkshake was way too sweet and not the fruity strawberry sweetness, but sugar sweetness. I had one taste and I just left it for my cousin to finish. I didn't like it at all. MUSHROOMS ON TOASTED SOURDOUGH- poached eggs and house made hollandaise sauce My aunt ordered this for me and told me it was very popular. Honestly, this dish was a disappointment. I liked the flavor of the earthy mushroom and the meaty texture of it, but with the eggs, and the hollandaise sauce, everything was pretty bland. I needed more flavor and I wasn't getting it. The sourdough was crisp and added some texture to the dish, but other than that this dish was a let down and very lackluster. HARVEST BIG BREAKFAST- bacon, baked tomato, roasted mushrooms, beef sausages, roast potatoes, wilted baby spinach, and eggs This dish was a bit better than the first. I liked the different textures on this dish and the roast potatoes really complemented the meats on the dish. The egg was poached so it made things creamy and runny when you cut into it. The sausage was meaty and flavorful and the mushroom was earthy, which complemented the acidic tomato. The bacon was a let down because I like my bacon fatty and this was not the case, it was more of a chewy texture than a crispy one. Sorry-not-sorry, but american bacon is the best there is. Overall, everything was at the most okay, but most was not to my liking. There needs to be more spice and flavor to these dishes. I left hungry and very disappointed.

My top breakfast/brunch picks would be; 1) Cafe Harvest French Toast: stacks of thick, fluffy Brioche French Toast, soaked in Syrup and topped with fresh creamy Ricotta Cheese, Mixed Berry Compote and sprinkled with Toasted Almond Flakes 2) Pesto Sourdough with Field Mushrooms & Goats Cheese. Cafe Harvest offers a good variety and food & drinks are pretty good. However, the good news stops there. What negates Cafe Harvest away from being an exceptional cafe is the customer service and wait time. On one we waited close to 1.5 hours in line for a table of two, even though from visually spanning the cafe there were at least 5 empty tables/spots. We were told by staff they were for bookings, however while waiting the 1.5hrs the tables were still unoccupied. We needed to prompt staff several times until at last we were seated on the same table we sighted empty for more than 1 hour. Staff need to be better trained to understand logistics of seating customers, clearing tables and just providing Great Customer Service!

A good menu with a range of healthy fruit salads and indulgent meals like benedicts or burgers, there's something for everyone. We were in a group and decided to share, opting for all the specials to get a taste of everything. We had the chill scrambled eggs, and green eggs but the crown favourite was the omelette cooked with potato and feta with a side of toast. Kelby's hash was another winner with chat potatoes, baby spinach, leek haloumi and sujak sausage, being topped with eggs and benedict sauce. A space that seems newly renovated and it's bright and welcoming inside. They also have extremely hospitable staff and lovely food all round.

A crowd outside the place consisted of many eager to get their hands on delicious foods everybody raves about. We weren't sure where to tell them our names to put us on the list of people waiting for a table, so we ended up in the "to go" line until we grabbed a waitress to do so. There were already people behind us in line that grabbed that waitress ahead of us, which was a little annoying, but the wait wasn't too long. I wish they had a better system for dropping names for people who want to dine in. Anywho, once we were seated, we were able to order fairly quickly, but our drinks were pretty slow to come out- essentially our food came out at the same time as our coffees. The Arabian eggs I had and the big breakfast my husband had were both delicious; no complaints there. The chili peppers in the Arabian eggs were impressively spicy, which ngl is hard to get me to say as a Korean. Staff were nice, but I wish it was a bit more organized in terms of ordering/giving our names. Two different girls asked us for our drink orders, and I saw the girls touch dirty dishes/napkins and clear them in the kitchen and then come and deliver foods and coffee without washing hands... a little upsetting to see. Overall, great food and coffee, but disappointed by staff and organization. I'd come back, but probably not the first place I'd suggest for a weekend brunch.

Housed in what was meant to be a hotel back in the day, this cafe is bustling and I'm told by my local living friend, often lines out the door on weekends. When we arrived there was no wait and we were seated straight away. The staff were friendly and polite. It's a smaller space but they make the most of it with a home-y interior. It's warm, inviting and too easy to spend a lazy afternoon here. There's an all-day breakfast menu with all the usual suspects and some stand outs like the lamb bruschetta. I was lucky enough to sample this from one of our lunch party and would definitely order should I return. On this occasion, I ordered the lamb kofta special with natural yogurt, quinoa and coriander. It was a suitably filling and soul hugging meal of comfort and everything was balanced to perfection. The coffee was strong and easily drinkable. There's a range of gluten free cakes should you not be feeling like lunch and most of the menu items can be made gluten free. The kitchen here may be small but from our experience it's certainly not limiting what they're serving!
