Nice looking place, though the location is slightly unexpected. Parking is not the easiest, with one side of the street as permit parking only. Service was friendly but a bit aloof — the waiter couldn’t remember who ordered what dish, and one of the orders were taken incorrectly. The coffee was good, chai latte average. I got the smashed avocado with harissa which was a very generous amount of the avo, slightly disproportionate to the amount of toast, though it allowed me to share some with my friend who didn’t receive her avocado on the side. Flavour profile slightly off, needs a bit of acidity to balance the avo mix. The mushroom dish with the runny eggy hole brioche looked lovely, as did the homemade baked beans. The special of the day Nutella hot cake with cookie dough and ice cream(my teeth ached from reading the menu!) was shared between 5 of us — which ended up being the right amount. Some interesting interpretations of brekky staples here.

Fantastic little café tucked away on Lennox Street. Big wide windows let in the light & you can sit at the front bar watching the world go by. Excellent breakfast & brunch options. Love the mushroom dish, very inventive and most of all tasty. Had the bean dish today. Beans in a rich tomato sauce with goat curd, salsa verde and a poached egg, served with sourdough toast to mop up the juices. A winner on a cold winter day.

This new kid on the block hasn’t been open long, but fills a gap in a neighbourhood that was crying out for a good local café off the main shopping strip. On the Victoria St side of Bridge Road, it’s a smallish café with a lovely but simple fit out. Staff are super friendly, even if you are just in for a takeaway coffee. They use Industry Beans and their brews are pretty good! I’ve only been once for food and had the beans fish and it was delish with just the right amount of spice and chilli. The husband also enjoying his pancakes that came with figs, maple and walnuts — yum! Prices are on the pricier side of café fare, but if it’s good quality, I think it’s justifiable. The salads and sandwiches and sweets in the cabinet look very tempting also. I’ll be back to try more!
