I ordered delivery brunch from here and got myself the corn fritters with avocado and kimchi salsa, poached egg and chicken sausage. The food was tasty and I liked the interesting mix of flavours. The only issue for me was that the corn fritters were a little overcooked (charred) on the bottom.
Overall rating: 4.5
This cute little cafe caught my attention with their Asian inspired brunch and we had to go visit.
Staff were super friendly and helped me choose a dish because I was so indecisive with their elaborate and interesting menu. They serve traditional breakfast and lunch dishes such as sourdough toast and jam, bruschetta, oats, but they also add an Asian twist to some of these classics, such as their breakfast claypot and Korean burgers.
Mozzarella corn fritters: My favourite dish because of how amazing different ingredients are untraditionally combined to create a balanced dish. The corn fritters were crispy and nicely seasoned, and the avo on top gave it a nice creamy contrasting texture. What surprised me was the sweet pumpkin sauce that paired unexpectedly well and almost heavenly. The chicken sausage was cooked perfectly, and the egg was a great addition onto the fritter. Very filling despite its deceiving size.
Tasmanian smoked salmon: The balance of flavour was spot. The classic smoked salmon, smashed avo, and salty feta was enhanced by the mango and chilli jam. It was sweet, sour and spicy, giving the classic dish an entirely new rollercoaster of flavours. The buttery rosti changed the entire dish and it just worked.
Chloe's French Toast: There were different degrees of sweetness from the passion fruit custard, caramelised banana and the cinnamon brioche sandwich, which was so yummy but a bit heavy on the mouth after eating a very filling main dish. The almond crumble gave the dish texture and that hint of nuttiness which I love. The blueberries and strawberries were not as fresh as I would have preferred.
Would love to return and try their other dishes and drinks on their exciting menu!

A cute little cafe did really well to have us given the restrictions. The staff were lovely and the menu was quite simple but had the classics brunch options.
Went for an early breakfast this morn. Good to see cafe enforcing covid protocols. Taking details, spacing the tables etc. I do wish they would close the door though. It was waaaayyy too cold. š„¶ Luckily the food and quick service made up for it.
I got the following:
White peony tea
Perfect to help me warm up, nice subtle flavour.
Mozzarella corn fitters
Excellent corn to fritter balance. Didnāt fall apart, good corn flavour in dish, not too greasy. I know itās a big statement by I stand by it: prob one of the best corn fritters Iāve had. Great flavour and perfect accompaniments. The kimchi was yum and subtle, as were the pickled radishes. The sausage and egg: perfect additions alsošš½ didnāt miss the typical bacon. Dish was perfect serving size. Looked small when it initially came out compared to my friends beans but it was deceivingly filling without being heavy.
Overall great little find of a cafe.
Nice suburban cafe. Plenty of space and prompt service. Coffee is decent, Iāve also ordered coffee via ubereats and is consistent quality
Small brunch place serving asian inspired dishes. The food are great and of generous portions. The staff are friendly and very accommodating too. Easy to find parking as located on the main Street
Canāt go wrong with any dish!!
Delicious affordable food !
Service here was polite and quick, and whilst the Reuben sandwich that I got didn't taste like a traditional Reuben it was very tasty and an interesting take on one. My gf also enjoyed her breakfast mushroom dish she got
Extremely friendly service, amazing food. The Chilly Scrambled Eggs and Breakfast Claypot is a must try. Very satisfied! The service is very fast and the coffee is also very good.
The food was delicious. A few of my friends and I met up at the cafe after long. We had mushroom on toast, corn fritters a few different coffees and wild berry smoothie. All quite awesome! We were there for about 2 hours and the staff was great. The only recommendation would be that it would be great if they could move away from plastic straws. I would love to go back.
One of my favourite brunches ever - just look at the photo? Tasted even better - generous bacon serving which goes a long way!
Drinks were good, service was great - even let us pre order as we were running close to closing time.
Will be back to try other dishes, or the sameā¦
First visit with the kids & weāll be back! We all loved our breakie orders. Friendly service, delicious food & good chai latte. I had the mushroom/halloumi dish & I canāt wait to eat it again. My son had the French toast which was out of this world. And my daughters pancakes were so fluffy & light.
I've been coming here for the past week for my twice daily caffeine hit. It's fantastic coffee and consistent! I've tried a couple of other places in the area. They're good but not as good as this cafe! Bonus points cos they're dog friendly too!
This cafe used to be my local until I moved states so over 2 years later upon returning to Melbourne for a holiday, I had to get back there for my absolute favourite...the red chilli scrambled eggs! I was delighted to see it still on the menu & it certainly didnāt disappoint! A must try itās seriously amazing! The coffee was so good, on point and I enjoyed the friendly prompt service. A must try brunch spot to visit for sure! Iāll be back.
Lovely cafe and lots of love in food presentation. Tasted great tooā¤
Really great food and a nice venue. Recently the service has become a bit glum and the niceties not really adhered to. The chai was weak and I suspect I got cow instead of almond on one order. I hope they get with the nice community vibe in the area and get the crowds backā¦ donāt want them to close!
The new menu is great! Especially crĆŖpesš
