    Delicious breakfast, especially the baked eggs and the smashed avocado rye! Don't forget to try one of their awesome cronuts before leaving.

    The Italian hot pot is delicious along with the avocado and feta on rye. My taste buds were singing 😊 Lovely coffee complimented all the dishes.

    Tasmanian smoked salmon with a half boiled egg. A very generous serve. Don't forget to salt the egg.

    Instagram worthy food, but after you eat with your eyes - don't expect your taste buds to follow suit. If you're a fan of hot breakfast, this place is not going to win a place in your heart.

    Worst service I've ever experienced!! I'll never be returning and will be spreading the word. If you want to be overcharged, told to move tables, generally be treated like shit then this is the place.

    Came in at 2.30pm, ordered coffee, then tried to order food and was told the kitchen was closed. Bit of a downer, seems like standard practice is to inform you of this when you sit down. Fail.

    Extremely ordinary. Plus - "can't do eggs" (apparently because the kitchen is too small??? WTF??). Was hoping for a fab new local... ..our first, and probably last, visit.
