Lovely staff and fast service. I ordered dukka poached eggs with sujuk which was delicious and came in large portion, good for sharing. The coffee was great.
The coffee here is delicious and always good, seriously can not fault it. The Dukkah Eggs are tasty and a nice breakfast mea - looking forward to coming back and trying out some lunch. Staff are lovely always.
I had a latte (very nice) and had the Dukka Eggs. Overall a very good feed. I thought it was reasonable value for what we paid. Partner had the avacado and eggs and another friend had the Captain Grey. Everyone was happy with the experience. Well done!
Walked in here as my friends and I were hungry and not much were open at 3pm on a Monday afternoon.
First of all, we had to take the menu ourselves. Servers didn't even offer them. There was one server on her phone half the time we were in there and she wasn't even trying to hide it. She just stood by the register and her phone and when we walked in, that was when she looked up to greet us. (It wasnt quiet either, there were customers around.)
I ordered the pulled pork bun and enjoyed it. The food was good in taste and portions, but there really isnt much variety in the menu.

I visit this place regularly & have always enjoyed a great coffee. Delish coffee beans! The staff are very approachable with a smile & always up for a light hearted chat..I haven't tried their food yet but will definitely 😊.
Coffee is consistently very, very good, staff very welcoming & friendly, food is consistently of a high standard. Best cafe in the that precinct by a long, long way.
Came here for brunch today. Food and coffee was really good. Service was a bit lacklustre and slow. Staff don't seem to be happy. Nice little cafe though.
Not really sure about this cafe.....the food is quite ok, just not spectacular. The coffee was absolutely spot on though and I would return for that alone. The place & people just seem lack lustre.....not sure if it's the minimalist interior that lacks warmth or maybe I'm just not accustomed to a quiet cafe with staff that are not very talkative? Apart from the coffee, the other highlight was the high tech, push button toilet door......but strangely there is no bag/jacket hook or mirror.....perhaps designed by a bloke for blokes?Considering there is a school nearby with quite a few young mums in the area, I would think a small mirror wouldn't be a bad idea. You can't serve porridge with black sesame seeds without a mirror to check your teeth afterwards ;) Just saying.....
I come here for breakfast every weekend, the staff are lovely, the gluten free porridge is super tasty, the coffee is perfect and my husband gets an amazing breakfast too
Heard about captain grey a little while back, Headed over this morning, interesting menu & Great fitout!
Will definitely be going back for another try!
The coffee here is really very good. I had the Vietnamese calamari salad, which was lovely, although had too much raw onion. The service is great. I would recommend this place. EDIT: I spoke to the wait staff and apparently they were having trouble getting the Earl Grey in loose leaf, so I amended my rating.
Lovely bright spacious atmosphere, clean and modern. Tasty food and coffee, especially their specialty double date espresso.. Yum!
Only complaint would be the staff could definitely smile a bit more or engage with small talk that you initiate. The female staff especially. Even when they do smile, it very much seems like a forced smile, and detracts from the otherwise lovely cafe experience.
