Nested in the pedestrian mall between Rundle and Grenfell Streets close to the eastern parklands, this brekkie and lunch spot caters to folks on the go as well as those wanting to take in the sights and sounds of the passers-by. While my chicken schnitzel, mayo, and lettuce ($9.30) was not particularly memorable my skinny flat white was perfect. If you are in need of a quick bite this can fill the void but you won't be racing back.

Forever busy, this large cafe located behind Rundle Street serves breakfast and lunch everyday, and the seats are almost always full. The prices are reasonable, with some interesting items on the menu. I've had toad in the hole (egg in bread) topped with passata and spinach for breakfast there. They also do the usual bacon and eggs, French toast, foccacias and pizzas. It has a large outside dining area and inside as well, but as its busy a lot of the time it is often loud.

Contrary to popular opinion, I'm going to have to say that I wasn't all that impressed. Nano is good, but I wouldn't go beyond that. Despite being constantly busy (those damn cycling groups are to blame!), I've always managed to get a seat during the quiet periods of the day. The customer service has always been great at the counter, but deteriorates upon returning to my seat. Some of the waitresses here are not only clumsy, but forgetful - either that or they don't care. Once or twice I had something missing from my order, and I'd had to remind the waitress more than once about it. I understand when it's busy things get misplaced, but I shouldn't have to be doing that when it's settled down. The food is good, but a little too salty for me. The scrambled egg foccacia is a great choice, but if they eased up on the salt I feel it would be much better. I can't compain about the coffee; its excellent.

This was the best breakfast I've had here in Adelaide. Ordered the Pummelled Pumpkin- Basil pesto,…read moregrill asparagus, crispy kale, parmigiana reggiano, poached egg on dark rye. The composition of the dish was well balanced, multi-layered and aesthetically pleasing. We also tried the baked egg with scallops- very savory and hot! Well balanced with the creamy poached eggs and cauliflower purée at the bottom paired with the crunchy pangrattato and crispy bacon. Would definitely order again Delicious!! Their coffee is excellent - super smooth. We were lucky to sit upstairs at the bar seating and witnessed them roasting their own coffee beans. No wonder the coffee is so tasty. I just wish the serving size was bigger so I could have more haha.

This was my favorite brunch of the two I tried in Adelaide. We made a mistake and were 30min late…read morefor our reservation, but luckily they were nice enough to hold our reservation for us when we called and said that we were on the way. The place was very light and airy. We sat on the ground level, but there is also an indoor balcony area and a couple outdoor tables. I was very happy with the bloody Mary, got a good depth of flavor and a moderate spicy level. I LOVED the whipped avo. It was basically a deconstructed avocado toast. The avo was so light and fluffy and tangy, absolutely amazing on its own, but then to pair it with the feta, pickled rhubarb and the beautiful artisan toast - I ate every last crumb and wished there were more.

What a great find! My friend, Mirella, brought me here a few days ago for a coffee and a shared…read moreorange polenta cake. Oh my!! Needless to say it has haunted my dreams since, so today after a hard workout my husband and I biked over for lunch. The first thing that strikes you while approaching from Kitchener Street is the lush, inviting covered wrap around porch; there is plentiful and adequately spaced tables located here (so as not to be forced to overhear unwanted convos). Next, upon entering this clean and tidy cottage you will notice three separate distinct seating areas: the main dining area, a smaller dining area tucked away by the kitchen and pastry counter, and a delightful and welcoming covered deck. We were promptly greeted by one of the friendly staff and seated straight away. Tap water, glasses, and menus were waiting at the table and after an appropriate amount of time our order was taken and special requests confirmed. This place is really busy but it seems well managed; the staff is very attentive without being intrusive. As we waited for our order we noticed the bustling and efficient staff who worked like a well oiled machine - dirty dishes were quickly removed from tables, additional carafes of tap water were dropped off without being asked for, and patrons seemed relaxed, very happy, and satisfied. By meals' end we, too, were among those happy people. My husband ordered a sandwich that I struggle to recall the name ;( it was a hearty sandwich made from perfectly toasted sourdough, grilled chicken breast meat, swiss cheese, garlic aioli, a mix of tender and flavourful greens, and crispy bacon. I ordered the smashed avocado with feta on the same delightfully prepared sourdough. It, too, came with a generous portion of greens. We could not be happier with our newfound neighbourhood brekkie place. AND there is a coffee loyalty card to boot!

Review update.. Now up to 5 (6!) stars, and open mondays, I'm in love!…read more Great place, I specifically asked for the poached eggs runny but they were hard boiled. You couldn't add Kale even though one dish had it and the outdoor area had a strong bad smell. Still the coffee was great and the juice and food was good. My partner didn't like hers but I would come back and try again.

A large Venue decorated in modern decor, and some space outdoors for groups. Love the booths in the far back corner. The staff are super friendly here. As soon as you walk in you are greeted and seated. At all times you feel welcomed and you know that you will be looked after. I love a all day breakfast menu. I saw a picture of the gin cured trout and knew that was what I had to order before I arrived. It was just so pretty! I was right, it was almost to pretty to eat. I couldn't bare digging into it without taking a few snaps. The trout was cured well. I feel like it could have been cured a little longer to have a deeper flavour. Maybe more salt and sugar was needed. But, that does not mean that it was not tasty! It was really lovely. The egg was poached well, crème fraîche was a great edition and lifted the dish. An added surprise was the sea greens. I really loved them. I think that not many people are used to them, but they are really tasty. The carrots were nice, but felt a little out of place. I think what the dish needed was a sauce. The crème fraîche was great, but something with a deeper flavour or seasoning. The rest of the menu looked great! I look forward to test more items. In fact, be sure to try out the coffee. I think we may have another great coffee destination in Adelaide. They offer a couple of filter options and cold drip. I am looking forward to watch how this business develops!

My first visit here was on a cold winter night about ten minutes before they closed at 7 pm. The…read moretables had been brought in, there were no other customers, and I strolled in an asked, "Is it too late for a 4 shot skinny latte, extra hot, with 3 sweeteners?" I can't tell you the number of coffee places I have been to in Adelaide that "close" at 5, but you can't get a coffee after 4:30 because the help are cleaning up to close. Here, the reply was a big grin and, "Sure mate-would you like anything else with that?" The barista then proceeded to make me a great latte (and obviously used equipment that had been cleaned for the evening shut down). I was attending a workshop around the corner and had had a long day-I was in desperate need of a good coffee. I can only describe my first visit here as like those RAA commercials where a knight in shining armour rescues you. I have since been back many times over the last three years and I have noticed that they always treat me the same-great coffee and cheerful service. Another thing I have noticed is that most of the employees have been there a long time too. I think that says a lot about an establishment. I know boutique coffee houses are popular (I like them anyway), but I am always happy to find a chain store that does a quality job. They are located in the lobby of the Calvary Wakefield Hospital and have extended hours. They've never failed me-I doubt they'll fail you. Oh, you can tell by my reviews, I drink a LOT of coffee....... Eat drink and be merry, but not too much. JD

I also find the prices not worth paying for the quality and quantity received. Great improvement is definitely needed, and soon!
