One of the best eggs Benedict I have ever had . Lovely coffee too.
I’ve been to Barry a few times and these guys know what’s up in the brunch scene!
Chilli Scrambled Eggs: Packed full of flavour including bacon 😍 and hits on chilli for some heat 🔥 This will warm your tummy up in all the right ways!!
|| 🍳🍽 Benedict Eggs, Slow Braised Free Range Ham Hock, Apple Cider Hollandaise, Granny's Apples, Potato Hash. That potato hash is ✔️✔️✔️
Even though this cafe is always busy, I love that the staff will always find a space for you to sit and enjoy a cuppa. Barry has a fantastic atmosphere with lots of industrial edges and natural light, and the staff are so friendly and attentive.
The coffee is top notch, and the food is always so good. On this occasion I stopped in quickly between meetings and chose something from the sweets cabinet, which was laden with yummy looking treats. This brownie and raspberry cake was so rich and chocolately, and extremely satisfying.
Next time I stop by I will be sure to sit and linger a little longer, as this is such a welcoming and friendly environment.
Excellent service. The food was delicious. We had a great time. The coffee was great too. The staff was very attentive and courteous. Loved it!
Called in here for a coffee. The service was friendly and attentive which is always nice.
This place was packed and we were lucky to score the 2 last seats.
My strong skinny latte was good,I enjoyed the flavour and there was a lot of milk froth, yum..
My partner tried s cold coconut coffee which was tasty but I’m glad I didn’t have to drink it all lol
Although I did try a carrot cake and it was moist and nice but it was missing some walnuts and I would have liked some more icing.
Overall though this was a solid experience.
A friendly, busy and bustling cafe. It's my first time exploring this area of Northcote.
I ordered the Lamb Shoulder and it was full of flavour with a hint of pickled vegetables to balance out the saltiness. The lamb was like pulled pork. I love this cafe's version of the Lamb shoulder dish.
Will definitely be back to try the other dishes.
Absolutely delicious!! Couldn't fault it. The venue is bright and relaxing, the staff are friendly and the service is quick. I had the superfood salad with Salmon which was amazing! May have found one of my new Northcote favourites!
Bazza, we love you! Everything we have eaten is amazing. Beautiful looking food. Beautiful flavours. Great coffee. Portions are perfect size to fill you up. We treat ourselves to this place often. Sometimes it’s so busy you may have to wait for a seat. Just saying...
I have no faults with this place! Amazing food and amazing staff! The food melted in my mouth and everything on the menu sounded so good, I had trouble choosing what to eat! 100% would go back again!
I currently have a craving for nourish bowls so definitely needed to get around to having one🥗! For anyone that is interested in trying out a cool cafe with such a large variety of food to choose from... go and check out BARRY. for some healthy and delicious meals! Loved the Soba Noodles because they don’t make my stomach feel so bloated afterwards and the Beetroot paste was a real treat! Get around to Barry when you’re in the area!!
Found this a cute little breakfast place when we went shopping at Terra Madre and it fits right in with the vibe. Lots of tables out the front but it’s actually shielded by glass so you’re not directly exposed to the road.
The waiters were very attentive. Coffee was excellent and you could even buy beans.
I had the kale which was nicely flavoured but it doesn’t really fill you up very much and needed extra chilli. I also tasted the feta avocado with pumpkin bread and the bread was really good. The kimchi fried rice which was the special I hope will be there next time!
Great iced latte here, my favourite in the area. Wouldn’t let me take my snake inside the cafe which was a little annoying considering he’s in a small basket and I don’t really see the issue, however discrimination can occur between species and alas it may always be this way. Would recommend for those without snakes.
Service was friendly and the server was patient with my food allergy questions, despite being busy food was quick and it was delicious, I got the charcoal porridge which was amazing! very busy,
Really enjoyed the feel of this place. White brick walls and beautiful big windows at the front creates a light feel. Coffee was pretty good and came out pretty quickly. Hot cakes were delicious as the crumble on the top set it off really well. Ham hock Benedict was lovely but the potato rosti on the bottom was a bit unevenly cooked. Pretty good space though. Get there!
Lovely space, creative and extensive menu. Wasn’t too adventurous today just tried the chilli scrambled, no scrimping on the chilli here a tingling treat! Service was a tad vague but friendly, would recommend a visit
Food: the presentation was immaculate, certainly an ideal instagram location. The poached pear made the activated charcoal porridge taste delicious, however once it ran out the porridge itself was a bit bland.
It appears like a healthy treat however has a lot of sugar in the nut brisket which I believe doesn’t fit with this dish.
Service: quick, pleasant.
Ambience: beautiful decor, nice flowers, attention to detail.
Food was amazing both times I have visited.
Brunch and lunch dishes were equally as good
Coffee was good
Gets super busy on weekends but the food is worth the wait.
Will visit again
Best eggs benny in Melbourne? These guys have quite the rep and they definitely lived up to the hype. The eggs benny was perfect and I loved how it’s served on a potato rosti. Coffee was also amazing.
Old mate Barry at it again. Friendly, courteous, respectable and a lovely companion. A good man, in a world with so few good men. A ordered in coffee it was excellent. The best quality money can buy.
I have been eating at Barry’s for years. The food and coffee is consistently good and there is always a crowd. The eggs Benny is a classic and so delicious. I’m also a fan of their omelette and hot cakes. Flavours change regularly so check the menu to see what’s on offer.
There’s a great reason as to why Barry is always busy and widely regarded as one of the finest cafes in Melbourne and that’s because they truly deserve it! Great service, a wonderful range of dishes, good coffee and a pretty relaxed atmosphere.
Great brunch location, food variation and creativity.
Service: 3/5
Food: 4/5
Ambiance: 4/5
Would I visit BARRY again? Yes!
Would I recommend to family & friends? Most definitely!
One of my top ten in Melbourne with delicious coffee and food (we had eggs Benedict and the raw broccoli salad). Although always busy on weekends, a relaxed, cosy atmosphere prevails.
I visited Barry’s with some friends and we were surprised at how the café looked. It presents much better than it appears on their website. The friendly staff took us to a table and, though seemed not all that pleased to be working on a Friday, gave us menus and took our drink orders. Though we didn’t have food, the comfort of being close to the kitchen and seeing what was happening in action was eventful. We enjoyed seeing the generous serves, well presented, going past us.
The pricing, though we just had drinks, was quite cheap and seeing all their pastries while we paid was entrancing. Definitely would go again.
Great food, amazing coffee. Bit on the $$ end for some items. And be prepared to overhear people’s conversations as the seating is tight and it can get loud!
Loved my smashed avo!! One of the best and really generous in size! Cute little cafe that is quite big! Large indoor and outdoor area! Will be back to try some of their other items
I found that staff were a bit annoying.. we were greeted 3 times and every 10 seconds we got ‘are you guys ready’. Better communication between staff would be better as it gets quite annoying.
Lucky the food was good though :)
I was recently here for a solo lunch. I had the salt and pepper calamari. It tasted great, but the presentation was pretty average. It looked like something you'd get at a much cheaper fish 'n' chippery. I guess I'm just used to cafes making a bit more of an effort with the way their dishes look, particularly for a $20 dish. But, as I said, it was a tasty meal which is the most important thing.
So who is Barry? That is the real mystery – so keep reading to find out! Barry (the cafe) is a bustling cafe in the Northern hub of Northcote, along a super trendy High Street. Having never been out to this area of Melbourne before, we were excited by the hipster vibes and busy atmosphere of this suburban gem. Popping in for a late weekend lunch, we didn’t expect the cafe to be this busy, but after experiencing their coffees and food for ourselves, it was definitely no surprise. The coffees were just spot on – for someone who used to be a coffee hater, the absolute quality, and rich aroma of the Melbourne coffees from these local brunch places is really starting to win me over. Not only this, but their ice coffee is close to the best I’ve ever had – not too sweet nor bitter, there was something about the smooth blend that just made us fall in love.
Absolutely loved the lamb shoulder. Best I've ever had. This is one of the best spots to eat in Melbourne, delicious breakfasts also and great service. The staff are always so friendly and happy to see you!

THE BEST HOTCAKE IVE EVER HAD
This is not a drill!!!
I recently came here with a friend after briefly visiting about a year ago. I’d seen a few pictures on social media that caught my eye and the cafe is in a prime location on High Street.
Feeling like something sweet, my friend and I opted to share the apple cinnamon crumble hotcake. I’ve had many a hotcake/pancake dish in my lifetime but I can confidently say that this was the best one I’ve had. Very similar to the toppaddock/higher ground one in shape and texture but elevated to the next level with the apple crumble flavours. There were big fluffy chunks of ricotta in the hotcake, the apple was cooked to perfection (not too soft, still had a good bite to it), the cinnamon creme was melting & seeping into the hotcake 🤤 and the sweet oat crumble gave it extra sweetness and a slight crunch. This.hotcake.was.magnificent. (It is huge though, so I’d recommend sharing)
I also ordered the green blended drink with kale/dates/spinach/coconut water etc and it was delicious. Not too thick or super dooper filling and also not too sweet. My friend ordered an almond milk latte but she got given a regular milk one which the waitress did pick up on and change. However, it took about ten minutes and was a tad burnt (hence the 4.5 and not 5). BUT overall the staff were lovely and service was fairly good given the size of the place.
Another trendy place for breakfast in Northcote. We went at 11am on Australia Day and it was busy enough to produce a good vibe but not too busy that we didn't have to have the ridiculous wait.
The eggs Benedict with ham hock was delicious on a nice bed of potato hash. A nice hearty meal. I went for the side of avo which was enough for my partner and myself.
My partner went the lemon crushed pea and goats curd omlette which was a significant serving but very fresh.
Staff and service was very good.
Fun spot to visit if venturing to the northern suburbs.
Order:
Eggs Benedict with ham hock served on potato hash
Lemon crushed pea and goats curd omlette
Side of avocado
Flat white
Coffee was superb and service excellent. For lunch I had the calamari, they were tasty but just a tad too oily. Nevertheless, a great overall expert experience and I’ll be back
Love this Northcote staple! Coffee is great, the staff are courteous and the food is amazing.
My favorite is the Broccolini, one of the best salads I’ve ever had!
Thanks Barry for a great time!
Consistently delicious food and coffee, particularly love the Benedict. A small twist on the original without taking it too far.
Very quick fluid service, even when busy - coffees come out super quick. The most delicious almond milk I’ve tried ! Will certainly return
Barry is a thriving Melbourne café perfect for enjoying a weekend brunch. The ambience is modern and relaxed with wide windows allowing plenty of natural light to pour in. The menu pays particular focus on wholesome and healthy food which does not compromise on flavour. . Our top pick from the menu is the breakfast salad which is a stunning amalgamation of raw broccoli, kale, avocado, lentils, chilli, basil, activated almonds, coriander, pepitas and topped with a soft boiled egg encasing dripping yolk. This salad is simply a thing of beauty and would tempt at carnivore.
I’ve been wanting to go to Barry for quite a while now, and I was not disappointed! We definitely over ordered and couldn’t finish everything, despite trying our hardest as it was all delicious!
The hotcake was amazing, and not too sweet but just right and the supersalad was just a mouthful of healthy flavor!
I loved the vibe of the place and the staff were so attentive and friendly!
Cannot wait to head over the river again for another bite to eat :)
A Chronicle Of Gastronomy
+4
Barry has always been one of those popular cafes that I see pop up. For some reason I’ve always imagined it being further from my home than it actually is and I haven’t made it around yet, even though it’s been on my list for quite a while.
Seated as soon as I walked through the door, order was taken within 5 minutes of being seated & deciding what to eat.
Had salt & pepper calamari - hands down the freshest I've ever eaten - the knife cut through like butter. Chilli jam was awesome, only wish there was more of it.
Coffee was amazing too, really hits the spot.
All the staff are pleasant, attentive & friendly. The seating is comfortable & spacious. If you ever find yourself in Northcote I'd highly recommend a meal & coffee.
Barry is a cafe in Northcote that does a range of breakfast and lunch dishes that go above and beyond the usual cafe fare, including dishes that cater for the gluten free, vegan and health conscious. We came here for brunch on a weekend, eager to try out their menu. To start off, we ordered their freshly made orange juice and Banana, peanut butter, cacao nibs, honey, almond milk and ice smoothie. The juice was nice and refreshing while the banana and peanut butter smoothie was delicious, I could really taste the peanut butter flavour, nicely accompanied by the honey.
This was a last minute choice for a catch up with friends. It has a very funky, roomy layout which makes it pram friendly. Most importantly the grub is delicious and the coffee is strong! You can’t go past the Benedict (bit of a twist with a hash brown replacing the bread). Will definitely be back. Thank you!
another nice place to visit in northcote. Menu is full of a great variety of items with a range of hot and cold beverages which are unique to the cafe. Really like this one.
The calamari dish was really on point. No flaws at all. Beautifully cooked and fresh calamari. Just the right thickness of batter . And the chilli jam is a match with it. Also the mango or slightly sour salad goes very well with the entire meal .
Wheelchair accessible inside and out. Accessible toilet.
Bookings essential on the weekend with wheelchairs. Although it's a quick turnover so waiting for a table isn't a huge hassle.
Quick service even in peak times. Food and coffee comes out really promptly.
Really bright industrial look. We love that they've kept lots of space between tables even though they could probably squeeze in more. Means you don't feel squashed or like you're sitting on your neighbours.
Accommodating staff. Will be back!
Enjoyable cafe. Some healthy options on the menu and good coffee. Often a line up which I wouldn’t wait for with some cute cafes surrounding. Nice atmosphere and good vibe.
I had heard so much about this place so I was very excited to check it out. And I wasn’t disappointed! My sister rated their French toast special as the best French toast she’s had (a big wrap from a Home chef and a massive foodie). The ricotta hotcake was massive and perfectly sweet and fluffy. Really really enjoyed the dish and with a strong coffee it was a perfect pair. We then cut through the sweetness and shared the sweet potato fries which are such a generous serve as well! They were perfectly salted and crunchy and with a perfectly spiced dipping sauce they were a big win. The decor is also really inviting, big space with big glass windows and some outdoor seating if you need as well. Big thumbs up from me!
I dunno I was kind of expecting more? Meal was really tasty (although quite exxy). I had the pulled lamb, eggplant and cauliflower which was the PERFECT lunch dish for a cold day. Partner had the beef burger which looked pretty average (for $22 at least). Busy Sunday we were seated outside and it was pretty freezing so didn't hang around long. Will be back to check it out in the warmer months :)
Came to barry on the weekend,
At first i was aprehansive due to being so busy and wait time but to my suprise coffe came out promptly.
Infront of me was a very pretty coffe thats tasted amaizng, well balanced, served by a friendly waitress.
Keen to try food next time.
Great quality food, friendly service and not overpriced, particularly considering it's located in Northcote! Very busy on the weekend and it's understandable but we didn't even need to wait because there are plenty of places set out. Really great cafe!
Barry has always been on the top of my breakfast and lunch places. The service is always great, food is always tasty and there is a wide variety of dishes to choose from. Gluten free is well catered for. The dench gluten free bread is delicious, and the superfoods salad is always a favourite of mine!
Being a local, it's hard to ignore the hype over Barry.
I went with a friend on a Saturday morning for brunch and somehow we managed to get seats. Usually there is a queue of people. I opted for something simple which was sourdough toast with vegemite. The bread was delightful, a carbalicious feast!
My friend opted for the kale, raw broccolini, lentils, avocado, Chilli and poached egg. My friend also added on the side more avocado, an extra egg and bacon. We also had two rounds of flat whites. The coffee was great but I have had better.
The quality of the food was brilliant and I can see why you would make the trip down to Northcote.
I did however find the tables too close to each other and the noise level super high. I guess it was peak time when we dined there. When it came time to settle the bill I was astounded that the breakfasts and drinks came to over $50.00. Great coffee and food but a little pricey.
This place is really popular and very busy. But this is not always a good thing.
The interior is great, and windows all around make it feel light. I went on my own to have some breakfast and a coffee while reading the paper. I was sat at the communal. The coffee was good. I had an amazing pea omelette. Very tasty. This is why I enjoyed the cafe. The staff come across as being very professional.
People often wait to get a table here. Being busy makes the place feel a little chaotic. And it does not feel as intimate and personal as some other cafes around. But I can totally understand why people would travel far to eat here.
Have been here a few times and is always consistent,with friendly service and welcoming. Staff are great. Coffee is good,arrives quickly. Chilli Scramble Eggs were good and arrived quickly and tasty. Great atmosphere.
Quirky place in northcote with plenty of space so you don't feel cramped!! I understand the score average and totally agree, great service, great presentation of food and great flavours with some healthier options . Has the brocollini breakfast and would have it again !
No, Barry isn’t a man (although if he were, everyone would be fighting over him), it’s a café on High Street that has brunch goers frothing with excitement. There’s an overwhelmingly healthy menu – don’t roll your eyes though because there’s no average kale smoothies or quinoa salads to bore your tastebuds with.
Went for lunch, ordered the Free Range Pork Belly, Baby heirloom carrots, fig, walnut crumb, ginger & carrot puree, crispy ginger. Dish was delish, baby heirloom carrots were delicious, figs were caramelised nicely, walnut crumb was nice, puree was nice and silky, no clumps and crispy ginger was nice, I only wish the skin on the pork belly was crispy, it would have uplifted the dish to a new level but overall nice. Service was great. Need to try coffees next.

Fo0die dined as a guest of BARRY and as such, the rating does not give any consideration to customer service.
Conveniently located with tram 86 running just outside of this cafe, we arrived at the cafe at 11:30am and found parking on Barry St which was 1P until 12:30pm. Parking was also available on High St which was 1P until 1pm and no limit after that. As we entered, the cafe was busy with many people dining as well as many ordering take away coffees.
>> Interior
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Located right at the corner of Barry St and High St, the cafe had windows running around the side and front of the cafe. Exposed industrial ceiling occupies majority of the cafe with the back of the cafe sporting a smooth wooden framed ceiling. The cafe looked like it may have been three different sections at one point with new looking green beams holding up perhaps what use to be a wall separating the sections.
A range of seating options are available to cater for all party sizes. 4 seaters along the outside running down Barry St, a few large communal tables inside the cafe along with many 2 seaters which can conveniently join together to make 4 seaters.
>> Food/Drinks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Starting off with the mocha, this was well balanced but not necessarily my favourite espresso blend which carried a roast flavour but finished off with an almost sour or perhaps fruity after note (clearly not a coffee connoisseur here).
The superfood salad dish was surprisingly tasty and not at all 'rabbit food' that I had expected and it was filling. I had underestimated the salad dish and added salmon, poached egg, 'in case I wasn't full'. The lamb was tender, was a little pickly (most likely due to the pickled slaw juice) and on the light side for a lunch dish (room for their ricotta hotcake dish perhaps?).
While the cafe isn't one where they have crazy dishes or super photogenic / 'instagrammable' dishes, what they serve up is delicious.
>> Dishes that make up this review

We were so excited to go to BARRY because we have heard so many good things about the café! With no surprise, everuthing lived up to our expectations. The food was incredible, the service was extremely efficient (even during peak times), and the coffee was PERFECT! The mushroom dish is amazing and the mushrooms are cooked to absolute perfection and are not chewy at all! Stay tuned for an in depth review on this dish 😊The omelette is also really delicious and well cooked. The crushed peas are a great addition to this dish as it gives it a hint more flavour and a smoother texture. We honestly really enjoyed our experience here and will 100% be coming back not matter how long the queue is!

Piggies out, Oink oink 🐷🐷
It’s no wonder all the locals are in love with Barry. A thoroughly enjoyable, well-executed and delicious brunch fare with impeccable service to pair.
Their unique tweaks to traditional staples like pulled lamb and pancakes certainly brought these dishes to a whole new level, both in taste and presentation, and we simply can’t rave on about this enough!
Went here for lunch and ordered the Eggs Benedict & a Hot Chocolate.
Service was friendly and fast although the place was a little noisy but nothing unbearable. Food was very fresh and tasty. A little on the pricey side (especially for the burger) but still affordable.
Would recommend.

Been to this place multiple times and nearly always order the same thing - the Californian super food salad. It's healthy, delicious and got all the elements of a dish that you want. Recommend adding some protein to make it extra filling. The coffee is also great. If you're going here, make sure to go early as they pack out really fast at peak times!
Outstanding food, service & ambience !Coffee exceptional Never disappoints here- food on another level
Love this place - regular favourite ✅
Came here on morning weekday which not that busy. Service was great the guy at the front door nice and polite. But the food taking quite long like 30minutes or a little more than that but we were not in a rush so no complain or anything.
Chilli scramble egg is nice, creamy and delicious but portion quite small. My friend had Benedict and serviing size is just tiny even though it comes with 2 poached eggs.
Amazing fresh and delicious food at reasonable prices and friendly service! One of my favourite brunch places in Melbourne. Highly recommended.
Now I know why everyone is raving about Barry. I know perfection doesn't exist but this cafe is one of the very few cafes in Melbourne that comes close to it. There's something captivating and indescribable about the ambience that makes you feel at home when you eat at Barry. The food is super unique, affordable and most importantly awesome that leaves you wanting more! Also the owners are amazing human-beings. Can't recommend it highly enough!
❤️❤️❤️
Peanut butter and tomatoes heaven
Coffee great
Hash browns were divine
Eggs poached beautifully
Lovely service
Timely and a pleasure
Barry is a cafe in Northcote that focuses on quality over quantity, with options for meat eaters, vegetarians, vegans, and celiacs. The space, designed by Techne Architects, makes use of its north east frontage with floor to ceiling windows creating a light, airy space.
Prepare to wait for a table at Barry, unless you are there very early. We felt rushed to eat our food and go. Service was a bit slow as it took a while for our order to be taken and for us to actually get our food.
I ordered the Eggs Benedict and I thought that it was delicious! I loved the addition of the fresh apple as I thought it added a nice burst of freshness.
Friend one had the hotcake and she said that it was very rich and a bit dry for her liking and wished that there was ice cream or some kind of sauce to give to a bit of moisture.
Friend two had the acai chai pudding, she said it was quite tasty and very refreshing. She said that the serving size was just enough and she didn’t feel as if she overate.

I love coming to Barry because there's always such wonderful service! All the staff we encountered were very polite especially given it was such a busy time of day! We arrived at around 12:30 on Saturday afternoon! We only had to wait about 10 mins for a table (share table) and the waiter returned to take our drink order within 5 mins! We ordered a side of chips which were delicious! I ordered the prosciutto and sage chicken schnitzel! It was tasty but the sage in it seemed to overpower the whole dish!
Love this place. Fresh, wholesome food that is creative yet simple in the best way. Good coffee and nice drinks. Great atmosphere. This places makes clean eating easy and enjoyable. Highly recommend.
Peanut butter and celery: yep
Peanut butter and apple: yep
Peanut butter and jelly/jam: not for me
Peanut butter and tomato: HELL YEAH!
Never ever in my life did I imagine I'd be eating peanut butter and cherry tomatoes on toast!!! I trusted them and I LOVED it!
We also had delicious coffee and the burrito bowl which on any other day I would've raved about however I just can't go past the peanut butter and tomato on toast!!!
Do yourself a favour. But please leave some for me! I'll be back for sure!
Where do I start , the place looks amazing the service was friendly. Then to coffee and food which were both perfect. Me and my partner both enjoyed our breakfast dishes .Awesome job to all staff .
Good coffee. Service was friendly and quick. Ordered the eggs benedict, which was very nice. Would definitely go again. I went on a Friday morning and had no issues getting a table. It's a big cafe but can tell it's a local favourite by the queue for takeout coffee.

Having trying to pursuit this place for a while now I decided to fling into this establishment today.
Walking down the street, I realised it's actually on the corner of Barry Street and High Street which I'm guessing the reason behind the name.
Making ones way inside the place I did notice that this place was legitimately chocker full with no diacritic view of any free table to have brunch in.
Getting served by a lovely lady (guessing it was the owner) we were told their shouldn't a long wait and that if wevcould wait on the front allocated bench to sit down and wait for a table.
Waiting 10 mins or so we managed to get a outside table which did have a good view of the shops on high street which was nice.
Knowing already what we wanted, we ordered the scrabbled chilli eggs with side bowl of chips with aoili and of course my usual go-to skinny mocha.
The scrabble eggs came to the table and what a sight for sore eyes it was. Pure indulgence in every single bite. Not having a big kick of chilli I was gladly surprised. Eggs were cooked to the way I like them, still holding shape and flavours were exiting fabulously. The bread at the bottom was quite nice with the whole dish, didn't get soggy which normally happens when something hot and dominating hits it.
The mocha had such a beautiful flavour from the beans. Not sure what great flavour was roasted inside them however I am guessing it was saddle wood, pomegranate and maybe grapefruit. Also the cocoa that was used wasn't your usual one. It was a more elevated percentage of chocolate with greatness and freshness.
The chips with the condiment of aoili were unruffled with potential and were mesmerising on all fronts. The chip by itself was good even without the sauce. Great crunch and oiliness to every single pick. Gnarly creamy sauce and a wonderful engagement with the chips.
Only let down of this place was the waitress didn't come and serve the cutlery with a napkin prior to any food coming to the table. I came with someone and when the food arrived we didn't have no cutlery and when asking for them we were given a box with ample forks/knifes and napkins. Didn't seem to be right. However only a crumb compared the whole experience but did drag down my rating a little bit.
Ending a busy shoe-string operation that emulating fantastic food and ambience.
The breakfast was awesome and we will definitely make a return visit. Wish it was a little closer to where we live! Service was good and staff were friendly.
Amazing Breakfast, owners have turned over a new leaf after their recent issues. The food was fantastic, and the coffee was phenomenal. Plenty of Vegan options, and very friendly and helpful staff. Would highly recommend!
I finally made the effort to come and visit this place, though it had more to do with actually getting up early enough to, well, just basically visit any place. Yeah, it turned out that this place was pretty cool, and the service was fantastic. In fact, even though the crowds were present, I was served relatively quickly, and my breakfast didn't take all that long to manifest either. The other thing was that the tea was actually pretty nice as well, so, yeah, this place is definitely recommended.
Nice cafe. I don't usually see it so quiet, got a table after walking in straight away. Food was nice. Service was nice and friendly.
Stopped in for a double espresso after an early morning ride. Staff were friendly and the coffee was great
