Reviews
Been here many times and my favourite dish is always the Açai! Today I tried the sticky date porridge and it didn't disappoint! Beautiful rich flavour, however, could have been a little bit hotter, but I was happy with the temp to be honest because I just wanted to smash it! Enjoyed a soy latte to and a long black! The coffee brew was rich and sweet with a citrus note, thorough enjoyed! And the service is always great, the staff are always on top
Of it and always accommodating and friendly! Love it when they yell... "coffee up" they clearly know everyone needs their coffee! Thanks crew! Keep
It up!
It says eggs Benny on the menu but it's actually some kind of wonderful polenta waffle with crispy sweet potato bits. Could be the best fancy version of a meal in Melbourne.
Great service and food!
We had the mushroom waffles, chilli scrambled and eggs on toast. We ordered a couple of sides but I felt that the haloumi is a bit too salty. The potato cakes is great.
Coffee is good. The babycinos are epically huge! The kids absolutely loved it!
The place is so packed and yet the food and coffees come so quickly. ☕️
Just a side note the chilli scrambled does have a bit of a kick (even tho I love spicy, so for people who doesn’t really take spicy just be aware!)
Unremarkable and unmemorable brunch. Food was underseasoned (particularly waffle eggs benedict) and coffees were average. Won't be back.
I’ve been to this cafe a few times and they’re usually quite full- despite this the service and wait time is acceptable and the staff are welcoming and prompt. The coffee here is a great blend and goes well with the meals.
Speaking of, the food here does not disappoint and has great flavour combinations and consistency regardless of time and busyness.
The pricing is quite fair in my opinion and the staff make each visit feel welcoming. The atmosphere is upbeat and allows ample time to chat and enjoy your food. Definitely one of the better cafes on High street
Warm and friendly staff, bottomless filter coffee just like NY, delectable pastries and chilled music. Lovely spot
great spot for brunch!
dishes have a delicate flavour palate; simple, clean, and full of flavour!
these guys are known for their panna cotta so make sure you order this on your visit!
the salmon and hash was... apparently trout 😳 it was still super tasty nonetheless
there's a good amount of seating indoors and a few extra spots outdoors at the back - very cute setting but has no shelter (no good for rainy days)
just note that there are weekend surcharge
It was a crowd pleaser when it was first opened with seasonal dishes and great coffee, after many years they continue to deliver good food, coffee and vibe. It is local institution.
