OH MY GOD! The food is just so good. Normally I hate crumbled chicken because other places make them so dry outside. Ordered Fried chicken benny waffle, and the chicken is just Perfect. Crunchy outside, juicy on the inside. The chocolate is just perfectly hot. 10/10 definitely gonna comeback.

What a gem of a café! The food is absolutely delicious – fresh, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. The owner is one of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet, and it really makes the whole experience feel warm and welcoming. I also love that the café is pet-friendly – such a thoughtful touch for those of us who like to enjoy a coffee with our furry friends. On top of that, the space itself is stunning: light, inviting, and perfect for relaxing or catching up with friends. Easily one of my favourite spots in town!Will recommend to all my friends and family and be back real soon

I had the fried chicken waffle with a matcha latte and both were delicious! The chicken was crispy, paired perfectly with the waffle and toppings, and the matcha latte was smooth and refreshing. The service was also really good – friendly and attentive. Definitely a great spot to relax and enjoy a nice meal.

Absolutely superb! Newly revamped, this is definitely going to be a regular spot for me! It has a beautiful cosy corner, it's fresh, vibrant and the menu is just delicious! The croissant craze was creamy, fluffy, chilli, sweet scrambled egg perfection. Just brilliant! Loved the croissant too, soft, crispy, buttery...it just worked! The taro iced latte was done really well here, great taro hit The chicken soba salad is another spectacular dish. So much fresh nutritional ingredients and just so delicious. The french toast was obviously amazing, chicken benny waffle was inhaled....and my mum basically stole the smavo and had it all for herself! Can't wait to come back!

I went there today to check out their recent rebrand. I ordered the chicken and waffles like always. When it arrived quickly the owner came over and explained how this dish differed from their old chicken and waffles. As he knew I always got that. He then offered me spicy sauce (because that was on the old dish) and came back with two options of home made chilli sauce. The food was great, fresh with different textures. The coffee is great, one of the best options in the area. The service is always great. The staff are friendly, and greet their true regulars by name.

Had the smashed avo — the eggs were perfectly poached and the serving size was generous. The avocado looked a little off but tasted fine. Overall, a good experience and I’ll definitely be back again.
