Great food and coffee, consistently so! Eggs benny and sambal chilli scramble are my favorites here!
My coffee was great with simple but well executed latte art. Food was good with some interesting menu options. I had the tasting plate which was a lot of food the guac on the curb fritters was my favourite and the smoked salmon portion was generous. The rice pudding was delicious and the presentation all round was really good. The eggs Benedict was just okay with a potato rosti (or hash brown) used in place of bread. It wasn't crispy and also not absorbent to soak up the egg yolk and the sauce was quite subtle in flavour. And the bed of baby spinach wasn't as enjoyable as blanched greens. Could just be me! I found the atmosphere too loud up the back and found myself having to raise my voice to talk to my sister who was sitting across from me. Would have been great to see some acoustic management like ceiling or wall foam - but most cafes with exposed concrete style interiors have this issue for me. All in all, a nice convenient spot with some good and interesting food.
The food is excellent, the location is convenient, and the atmosphere has a great local vibe.
Stopped for a coffee and a quick lunch today, and loved it. The lunch bowl was delicious.
