Friendly and accommodating staff who are happy to cater for your seating or food needs. Barista did a great job with the coffee temp re our long blacks. Ordered the Benny and Hash which was absolutely smashingly delish. Wife had the "where's the beet?" Which was fresh especially with the cucumbers to balance out the hummus and avo. Priced reasonably for a brunch and lunch joint and great chill spot away from the main road.

Fabulous little corner café with excellent coffee, smoothies, egg sandwiches and juices. Bonus: I love their jazz playlist!

It's a great little stop in when you're in the neighbourhood! The staff are absolutely lovely and the food is all rather unique. They are a sight for sore eyes when you're in need of a good coffee too!

A quaint hole in the wall serving coffee, breakfast, fresh juice and brunch. We sat down to brekkie and had the big breakfast each. It lives up to its name - it’s absolutely massive. Friendly service and decent food
