It was soft and fluffy. It came with a whole fried banana and huge bacon slices. There was a couple apple and orange slices on the side. Staff were really friendly. Service was really fast. There was indoor and outdoor seating. They have a small car park in front. The outdoor seating is dog friendly.

This place is the best. We only live down the road but can never go past our local, Clevedon Cafe…read more The girls change up the menu regularly which is unusual for any restaurant. But don't fear, they feature similar meals and ingredients just with a different idea. Their charcoal bao buns, yummmm, and their sweet bao buns on their brunch menu are out if this world. We have never had a bad meal there. The staff are always friendly and helpful.

Fantastic food. I've eaten here at least three times and have always been thoroughly satisfied with…read moremy meals. They are good sized servings, delicious and well presented. The cafe is kid-friendly and has at least a couple of high chairs for its littler patrons. There aren't a lot of vegetarian options but the eggs benedict mushroom dish was superb. Really tasty. Out of the desserts, the cheesecake is great but very rich! I would recommend sharing a portion. There are a number of other delicious sounding options. They have breakfast, lunch and dinner menus and a couple of kids' options as well. Catering and arranging functions here are also options.

Formerly Esquires Coffee, Cafe Morena is nestled right next to Botany Library & Hoyts Cinemas. This…read moreis a great advantageous position, and they milk it to the full, being open late with the cinema and other restaurants. The coffee is delicious and everything looks basically the same as what it was during Esquires reign. It's great to be able to sit down on a couch, enjoy a coffee and nom a slice of cake while you wait for your movie. The service was good and prompt. They even have a little water fountain if you're a bit parched. (all coffee shops should have one!) The cabinet doesn't look super appetising, so I'm not normally tempted to have anything. Perhaps they need to make things fresh in the evening or present it better.

I m not a vegan nor vegetarian. I love my meats to much. But to the true Buddhism faithfuls, a veg…read moreonly diet is the only way of life. The Buddhists are taught to refrain from taking life. So they can only ingest non animal products. I was paying my respect at the Fo Guang Shan temple. And the water drop is its own vegan cafe. I ordered the noodles and a couple of side dishes. To my surprise that it doesn't take like normal vegan food. It's not bland and it's good for you. Lol, I wish I can eat healthy like this everyday. Seriously though, if you are a vegan and you are in the area. Give the water drop a try. You might be pleasantly surprised.

Their daily set menu is also a really good value--you get rice plus three or four accompaniments, usually with a mix a mock meats and veggies. The environs are also beautiful, calm, and inviting. I highly recommend this place.

Great little gem in Meadowlands. Authentic Taiwanese food…read more Got pretty much all the stuff that you crave for. The restaurant is on the small side but I guess is average for this area Good quality is good. We ordered beef noodle soup and deep fried chicken breast and rice. Highly recommend their rice dishes.

We will not be eating here again. They messed up our order…read moreafter confirming it on a screen with us. Instead of a simple apology they strongly insisted that we pay the difference of twenty dollars with staff frequently coming to our table to hassle us while we were eating. I would have paid such a small amount without complaint out of conscience, except they blamed us for THEIR MISTAKE and lied to say the manager wasn't around (he later came out). We paid the extra $20 so that the staff member wouldn't have it docked from her pay.

We had been on several occasions to this lovely venue but unfortunately our last visit on the 2nd…read moreFebruary will be our last. We booked a table for 5 on the balcony only to be shown to a shady cooler area outside and told when we got there that they didn't have space on the balcony (we pre booked ??) one of our party was over 80 and felt the cold. OK the occasion was my wife's birthday and when it came time to order some in the group ordered breakfast (it was 11.45am and the waitress asked us what time it was) and some ordered lunch Sorry can't mix n match.... Obviously the kitchen magically runs out of breakfast ingredients at noon ?? So we left, no argument and went and spent our money($300 plus) at Grangers at Half Moon Bay. We will not be returning to this venue.
