Table service and friendly staff that are happy to help. Ordered "eggs my way" cooked well, added some extras like veal sausages and potatoes. Sausages were grisly with hunks of fat inside, sour dough didn't have any butter on the side. Haloumi appeared pre-cooked in advance and kept warm. No real creativity with regards to the presentation. Suggestions to business; change the supplier of your sausages, cut your potatoes into cubes add some Rosemary and put into a Ramekins - A little effort into presentation would go a long way. I have had better breakfasts in Vancouver from a Diner!

French toast with berries, compote and marscopone was delicious (if a trifle sweet for me). Toast with poached eggs and avocado was cooked perfectly and served with the freshest lemon. Coffee was fine in terms of flavour (not "great"), but perfectly extracted and tricky soy microfoam spot on (unlike some more dedicated coffee joints around town). Best brunch all round. Also enjoyed the low-key funk/soul on the sound system today. Nice airy fit-out and decor, and plenty of outside seating

The smoked trout tortilla is a great, high protein way to start the day, while the sausage and egg brioche burger is a significant upgrade on what you could get at other *ahem* breakfast outlets, with crunchy and fresh tasting bread and a rather delicious onion marmalade. I haven't tried the lemon pancakes but they are on my to-try list. The meals are well presented and just right in portion size. The prices are reasonable in Canberra terms but beware the sides- I paid $3 for the mushrooms, which was literally one medium size mushroom. Be sure to make a reservation as its a popular place, and bring cash if you plan on splitting bills.

I dont need my drinks to be volcanically hot, but in Canberra on a cold morning warmer than this was is necessary. We had a good couple of choices on what is a decent sized breakfast menu. Nothing truly mindblowing but the dishes are indicative of the history of the place and the fact that its been here for as long as I can remember. We had the grilled haloumi special, which was let down by the saltiness of the haloumi and the lack of grilling of it and the grilled tomato. Poached eggs were well done not overcooked and not too vinegary. We asked for the rocket and olives to not be served so they added spinach instead. Serving was of a good size but again could have been warmer. Also had their Italian Calzione which is basically bruscetta with fetta, basil, avocado and two poached eggs. It was nice but the cutlery was too blunt to cut the crusty bread which made eating it a bit of a struggle. Again, plates weren't warmed so the meal gets cold quickly especially in Canberra in winter. A solid performance in the end from an old player in the Manuka restaurant scene. It's prices are indicative of the location more than the quality of the food. But if you are after a quick decent meal well worth visiting.

Their Artisan bread and pastries are made in store and are pretty popular, so be sure to get there early. It's a small spot with minimal decor and only a few tables to eat at, so it's best to grab what you want as takeaway. Do you prefer their silo sourdough, rye sourdough volkornbrot, kingston, white sourdough, stirato crusty italian bread, french style white baguette, ciabattini small italian style square rolls or french style roll? So many to pick from. I buy a loaf of the walnut and cranberry for later, can't wait to eat it! Maybe you're a croissant fan - plain croissants, almond croissants, butter brioche, pain au chocolate, Orange & Pistachio Snail, Custard & Raisin or our pick of the day, the "Evie" - apple, almond & raisin in croissant pastry. Crispy and super tasty. They also have a rhubarb galettes and pear galettes From the savoury options there's quiche, pies and sausage rolls and boreks as well as sandwiches. You can even eat in at their cafe with omelettes, eggs, French toast or muesli and a coffee.

The coffee is lovely and the quality consistent even when they're really churning them out. Plus, they have a really great mug that seems engineered to feel comforting in your hand on a cold day. I think the star though was their bagels. Either with ham tomato and cheese or simple with cream cheese, they were wonderful (and perhaps fried rather than just toasted for that extra bit of homey goodness). Highly recommended.

Ordered $35+ of food; then walked in to buy a bottle of water for my dog & asked for a container. Not possible, go next door. no container; staff suggested empty ice cream container; no by supervisor. I asked about polystyrene white containers they put in cream into; another no. I said I'll pay $19.99 for an white container & no ice cream. Paid $27 (!) for water & empty container. I said to the supervisor she needs to learn to think laterally when dealing with customers. The manager then came into the restaurant accusing me of abusing his staff, which I said I hadn't, shouted at us and told us to "piss off". He came outside to shout at us more very loudly and aggressively in front of two other groups loudly 3 times telling us he's not a dog restaurant and we kept saying you've said it enough. He then said to get out and we said we had ordered food. We then only got the food given to us in takeaways. The other two groups, who said they go there often, both went inside to tell the manager they're never going back & then they got abused. 3 sets of customers walking out on a Sunday afternoon and then it was empty. Poor staff were very apologetic.
