😱Lizzie’s first impression: I came here very often a few years ago and I recently came back and it was just as good. It is hidden off an alley way off Bourke st, and is as Melbourne as it gets.
🍩Lizzie enjoyed: the thing I love most about is that their is a huge variety of their menu. my favorite thing to order here is their risotto - the arborio rice is cooked al dente and has generous amounts of parmesan on it. I've tried both their porcini risotto and their chicken and mushroom one. Both are great to try. The salad is also very fresh and filling.
🍅Lizzie did not enjoy:
It might be a bit cold in the winter as it is open space and you may need to request for seating inside.
🥇Lizzie rates overall: a great cafe offering a wide selection of foods. Highly recommend.
We stumbled on this place as my cousins and I were in need of some brunch. The rest had the terra-cotta baked eggs which were superb. The open lamb kebab could do with a bit more flavor but it was still quite yummy. The chips and as soooo crispy and stayed crispy throughout the meal. Very happy with the meal here.
Service wise- it was difficult to get the attention of the waitress as we needed more water for the table. That could have been better.
Rise and shine with fried eggs, and a cup of flat white. The spinach was a little bit over cooked but the coffee was very good. The staff was friendly and responsible. The environment was clean, nice and quiet.
Must: Try the amatriciana pasta dish. It is well balanced with its flavour and texture.
Skip: Sitting outside in the cold/heat by taking a set indoors.
Quality! It Shouldnt Be That Hard! Love A Wonderful Mouth Full Of Wholesome FOOD!

I brought my sister here for breakfast she said was so raving about this place for days. She chose the Terracotta pot.it had a lot of flavour and cooked to perfection,
I had the corn fritters they where quiet moist and have lots of herbs over all tasked amazing. The coffee was good the only problem was we had to order two because the waiter walked off before I could confirm they where large ones :-(
Over all it was amazing time here good quality food, waiter can be a little slack but over all it was ok
Breakfast is always great, the atmosphere is the best of the all cafes in this laneway. But the service, the service is exceptional and always outstanding. My regular for breakfast and lunch - definitely recommended
Wide range of choices. We had the Rise & Shine Big Breakfast and the Folded Mediterranean Omelette. Both were cooked perfectly. Asked for poached eggs to still be runny and they were. Service was prompt and friendly, especially on the Sunday morning. So good we have come back again!
Only had the coffee here one day, it was okay and better than expected. Not to be compared with those gourmet coffees you get around the corner.
It was a wow to me , their grilled chicken breast was juicy and full flavor . Very healthy meal with a lot of vegie and sweet potato mash. The waitress was super friendly and coffee was great. Happy to found out this place and will be back for sure ❤️
Went to this little coffee shop after a tiring meeting. Ordered Chicken Parma for lunch. Coffee was served after a few minutes. The Parma was juicy and tasty. It is to die for! Service was quick and friendly. Such a pleasant place for food and relaxing. Highly recommend!
