Came here for brunch and enjoyed the Avocado on Sourdough with additional Scrambled Eggs. Really filling and a good amount of food, so definitely recommend coming on an empty stomach if it's brunch o'clock for you too. The coffee is absolutely lovely, I had a Soy Cappuccino and my wife had an Oat Flare White, both of which were a nice temperature on arrival and neither the milk not the beans were burned. Aesthetic on the inside is pretty rustic, bordering on cottagecore. It works well and it's nice, but the seats (on the inside at least) were a little uncomfortable, but fine otherwise. Not enough to detract from the overall experience.

I love this cafe! It’s my go to local. The owners and staff are friendly and kind. The coffee and food are amazing and fast. There’s lots of seating inside, outside and in the garden. Such a good vibe. This is my favourite cafe on the inner west!

Nice little cafe. Coffee is good, service is friendly and fast. At 11 am low selection of pastries and cakes. Prices are reasonable. Chairs inside are not very comfortable

A gem. Coffee, exceptional, really. Service is friendly, and prompt. The feeling is unrushed, peaceful and community with inside and outside under veranda seating. Street parking can be a challenge but the very short walk is fine.

Local gem. The best freshly baked muffins and the decaf coffee was superb, you wouldn't be able to tell. Busy but not noisy, nice vibe and indoor and outdoor (front and out the back of the cafe) seating.

Excellent cafe with a delightfully friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Great coffee and food, and their Reuben toasted sandwich is a standout favourite. The outdoor seating is dog-friendly so people can even bring their pooches. Well worth a visit.
