I've driven past a few times and today I'm delighted that I stopped to try them out. It's breakfast o'clock and there is table service so take a seat and someone is right with you. They get it right with taking a coffee order right away, do I look like I need one? Well I did need one and lucky for everybody it was made promptly and delivered with a smile. Today I chose the Big Breaky Burger. I find it hard not to give these a try everywhere. I noted on the menu some additional ingredients that you won't typically see. This burger was clearly of a higher class. When it arrived (which was surprisingly quick, I guess they are quiet today, but awesome) the presentation was pretty eye catching. I blurted our something stupid and incomprehensible to the waitress. What I meant to say was "that looks awesome" and "thank you". Let's cut to the juice. The coffee is great, smooth with no bitterness! The bacon is delicious, maybe a light smokey flavour and crisped to perfection. The burger is made on a fluffy brioche bun as it should be. The avocado was generous and had a slight lemon flavour like they cared for it delicately begins the scenes. I love this place after one visit! I'll be back, and I'll bring other people. Give it a try!

It is actually a really nice little place to grab a coffee and a bite to eat. The staff are pleasant, and the seats really comfortable. They even has a small outdoor area, but that is generally reserved for the smokers (though I'm sure they wouldn't object too loudly if a non-smoker went out there). There is also a pretty decent selection of cakes. Mind you, being on the other side of the shopping centre from where I usually wander means that I am unlikely to come here as often as I would like, but it is a nice place anyway.

And thank you for being open, with an early car appointment and a few hours to kill, this is where breakfast was to be casually and slowly had. I ordered the Salmon and Avo Stack, which had smoked salmon, avocado and poached egg served on ciabatta with a light dill and cottage cheese spread. I was in the mood for light and healthy fats, thus the avocado and salmon. The salmon was alright, it needed a squeeze of fresh lemon. It was a filling and good start, especially with a chai latte. The Coffee Club is nice to sit down and ease your way into your day. It's your basic cafe with all those tasty cafe items you'll find. On the extra plus side, they do all day breakfast.

Just FYI, there isn't a ton of room for larger groups so if that's something you're planning on bringing, maybe consider another place. Or stop by Thirtyfold anyways, the people here are nice enough to figure out seating for you. We didn't order any food, as we were just looking for something caffeinated and sweet to tide us over until later. We settled on an assortment of small sweet bars as well as some lattes (Prana Chai and Magic) and everything turned out great. Well, maybe except for the Prana Chai which was kinda bland, surprisingly. The drink seemed to be made up almost entirely of milk with none of the spices and flavors that you'd expect from a Chai latte. At least my Magic Latte was great; the milk was so dang creamy - straight up wizardry. Other than that, the sweets were delectable and big enough to share but not so big that you're looking for to-go boxes. All the Thirtyfold employees were super friendly too, all eager to answer questions from a bumbling tourist like me. Overall, Thirtyfold is an easy recommendation for a relaxed coffee date, a quick sugar fix, or a weekend brunch.

Mind you, this isn't really a place for sitting down and rather caters towards the takeaway crowds. Oh, and the coffee was okay, but not hugely wonderful.

In a way it seems to be one of those places that indicates that Reservoir is slowly but surely being bitten by the hipster bug.

Anyway, seeing it, and doubting that I would be down here again any time soo, I decided to pop in for a coffee. Well, coffee was pretty cool, but I also have to mention that Darth Vader was also standing in the middle of the room. I'm not sure what he was waiting for because he was there when I arrived, and I got my coffee before he got anything, so I'm still a little baffled. However, as a coffee spot it wasn't bad.
