Brûlée coffee was yummmy! Good variety of food offerings (including pasta!) as compared to a your basic cafe which I appreciated. The lady was super friendly. The lambo (lamb roll) meat was a little dry so it’s not my fav but they make their bread in house. Outdoor seating were shaded tho I wished it had some sun. Have 3 car park lots right in front. Will come back!

The cafe is truly adorable. The stuff are warm and polite. And the space feels comfortable and relaxing. The best part is the sort. Cuddle puppy-it instantly brightens your mood.

Thise place has been one of my favourite cafes in Sydney. I love the ambience. The food and atmosphere is very unique from other cafes. And the employees are so friendly. And if you go there don't miss Jay's coffee. She is the best Barista I've ever known and she is very good in customer services.

Came it twice and will definitely come more. Love their mocha (less chocolate powder) and matcha latte (not too sweet. Little bit bitter but that's why j like it!) Try a few sandwiches and so far love Foccacia the most! Wanna try all other dishes in the future 🙂 I am glad I found this place that I'd love to come again!
