I’d have to say that it’s a real hidden gem.The food is just fantastic, you can tell each dish is made from scratch with fresh ingredients. The service is great. It’s hard to discover as it’s not on the corner of a street but ever since I’ve accidentally stumbled upon it, I’ve been back almost every week.
As others have said, really friendly staff. One of the more tempting display items I’ve seen. I tried the toasted carrot slice with pepitas - delicious with just a hint of sweetness - very satisfying. Coffee was good too. Down to earth atmosphere - great place if you are alone or meeting friends. Had a « Cheers » feel, where they knew everyone’s name and regulars hung out. Will definitely return.
Came hear for a quiet breakfast and to get some work done. I love their menu! I love the uniqueness. I had one of the specials, a Japanese omelette in nori with miso soup. Very different to anything I have ever seen. Was nice! Coffee was great to. Got my work done down in the back corner. Lovely little place with a great menu! 👌🏼
Pretty cozy place and the food was not bad. We ordered salmon croquet and it was pretty good. There were barely enough salmon though. Another dish we ordered, shaksoukha was quiet sour and nothing in it. But I quite enjoyed it. Especially because they served plenty of bread. Their tea and coffee was also not bad. The only little disappointment I had was they slapped a rather hefty public holiday surcharge in the end. It could've been informed better.
The staff are super helpful and efficient but it's all about the food. homestyle cooking, large portions and that taste only your mum or grandma can do. a gem in the Brighton desert.
Really nice Bircher Muesli with heaps of coconut. Nothing to fantastic but does the job. Would have loved some big chunks of fresh seasonal fruit on top. Also a dollop of coconut yogurt instead of the pink yogurt would have made it much tastier :) All in all it was nice, but I wouldn’t be rushing back to get it again.
This is a great local cafe, serving great coffee, has friendly staff and generous and tasty food. It is my 'go-to' when friends drop by for coffee and has a nice atmosphere. The food is hearty and home made and I have enjoyed many a breakfast or brunch here on my own or with friends. It is a very comfortable place to just sit and read the paper with a coffee (and maybe a cheeky cake or house made scone or doughnut). Highly recommended for consistency of coffee, food and service which is a very good thing indeed.
Really cute and homely cafe in the strip near Gardenvale station. Like many shops nearby it is a converted house so is quite long and narrow with bigger tables available at the back.
I had the almond milk matcha latte and “I can’t decide” breakfast board with mini versions of the coconut bircher, smashed avo, vege shakshuka & bread. Everything was soooo delicious and I was absolutely stuffed when I left! The smashed avo was especially good, with an excellent blend of feta & avo (not too salty), with beetroot coulis and pomegranates adding unexpectedly sweet notes. Definitely recommend and wish we were more local to try the other amazing looking menu options!
This place is sensational! Coffee delicious, staff so friendly, and the food amazing! I love the salads, ricotta and pear muffins, and breakfasts. Never had a coffee or meal that I didn’t love!
Food is yum coffee is good staff are amaziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig
A very good cafe, produced quite well, I really like to come.
Wow just wow!!! Awesome little Cafe.. Food is phenomenal... Services standards are on point... there needs to be more of these places in the area!! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🍲 ☕ 🎉
My partner and I had breakfast here on a Sunday and I loved every part of my meal! The fritters were amazing and full of flavour. Also, having axil coffee is a plus as it has a pleasant finish on your pallet. Staff seemed a bit rigid though and if they were more bubbly and outgoing this place would tick all the boxes for me. We'll be back though, just laugh a little guys!
An great cafe worth the time. The coffee is not just another Melbourne ‘good’, it’s consistently excellent. The menu is well curated, reasonably priced and good portions. The staff are super friendly and helpful. One happy customer here!
Love this place. Great food menu, great staff and delicious coffee - we come back at least twice a month for brunch! Never dissapoints; even the counter snacks/cakes and salads are yummy for on the run! Highly recommended.
We come here every time we do our Yoga teacher training courses nearby, and we keep coming back for good reason. Amazing food that is slightly different every day is one of the main draws, but the friendly staff and lovely setting make it even better. Well worth a visit, and a repeat...
My partner and I had an absolutely beautiful breakfast here, such a gem that we just happened to stumble upon travelling through. I had the buttermilk pancakes which were cooked fresh, light and fluffy with crispy edges. My partner had the brisket benedict and raved about it, so flavourful and a great original take on eggs bene. If we are ever in the melbourne area again we would come back here for sure. A huge thanks to the friendly staff as well, keep up the good work!
Without doubt the best spot in Gardenvale for breakfast or lunch. Delicious food, always fresh and not too expensive. Highly recommend it!
