    I'm in love with the interior of this place. It's very modern with a mild rustic and warming…read morefeeling ... And plus my favourite colour is yellow. We dined at about midday and looking at the menu they boasted a vast variety of breakfast options, served all day by the way, but with my eyes limited number of brunch or afternoon tea choices. They offered up things like a steak sandwich, different sorts of souvlaki which seemed basically like yiros, fish and chips... I did see they had a sandwich bar which didn't look operational at the time, which was a shame because I was craving a salad roll of some description. My partner and I both had the steak sandwich, and I must say it was divine. I don't usually order this particular thing, but certainly no regrets. I've seen steak sandwiches served up with diced up steak pieces, but this was simply the steak as is grilled and served with tomato, beetroot, cheese and lettuce. And it was juicy and very tasty. I also had a berry smoothie which was made with milk, honey, strawberries, banana and Acai powder. Not sure what and if I'm leaving something out. It was nice, but needed more fruit to give it oompht. Tasted very milky ... But they did serve it up in a jar glass cup with honey and coconut pieces smeared around the brim. Delightful touch. I also took note this place was licensed and served up a variety of wines and beer. The system they also had in play was take a seat, order, indulge, and pay at the end. Very enticed to keep spending! Lovely cafe this is in Ballarat. If I was a local I definitely would be a regular. The staff were very friendly and tentative, the place looked clean and functionable. The only thing I'd say is perhaps the orders took a little extra time to come to our table, but never mind. And I wish I'd tried their coffee!

    Waited 1.5 hours for a few eggs on toast and a croissant, we understand a Saturday morning is a…read morebusy time for a cafe but we were given absolutely no notice of the wait time, and we had places to be. Upon receiving our food, the toast was not cooked through so I was basically eating bread and eggs. Also, the cheese in the croissant was not melted and was cold. We received little to no sympathy or compensation for the inconvenience.
