What people say
Beautiful foods ! We had brekkie at this place and the foods were very beautifully presented and also tasty. They also had outdoor seating & dog station which made my puppy feel very comfortable. They even had dog biscuits which my puppy loved. Great place to chill out & relax 😎
This place is absolutely amazing! The food and beverages are not just good—they're scrumptious and super creative. The staff are super friendly and really patient, making the whole experience even better. It's the perfect spot to hang out with friends and family!
Really great food and really good service. Would highly recommend the Einspänner Latte (it was a little similar in flavour to a Vietnamese salted coffee and really creamy as well), the beef burger and the breakfast roll. Their sides and additions were really good too. The salad that came with the beef burger was delicious also!! The staff were very accommodating, allowing us to change our coffee order to swap from an iced latte to an Einspänner. They were also very friendly.
Overpriced but decent food Shaksouka was okaish but not exceptional tasty. I added a chorizo that came as a huge piece half immersed in the tomato sauce. And I paid almost 30,-AUD. A bit too much. The pumpkin salad had not a special character. It was mainly a big piece of baked pumpkin together with the skin. I asked the feta cheese on side and I discovered that it was soft feta. Not greek but just sheep milk "feta" style white cheese. Not good enough for serving on a salad. The small coffee was 5.20AUD. Strong, but a bit too strong for me. It should be great strength for a medium size long black. The chai tea was just powder dissolved in hot water. The service was standard polite but not engaging friendly. A "neighborhood" cafe should be more personal. Overall, food and drinks were okaish buy the price not justified in any way. Not exceptional food or fantastic service or ambitious decoration.
Gave 2 stars: one for decent coffee and one for friendly service. Unfortunately, that’s where it ended. For a $30 lamb souvlaki, I only got a single dry lamb skewer that I had to ration into small pieces just to make it work with the wrap. The prawn burger salad was so soggy it felt more like a soup burger. Overall, I was really disappointed to spend around $70 on such an underwhelming meal. The other 5-star reviews feel a bit misleading, there are plenty of better cafes around that don’t charge premium prices for subpar food.
