This cafe is great, however I got a chicken, avo and cheese toastie and the avo was SO hard and not ripe at all (didn’t say anything because they were super busy). Just some constructive feedback, if the avocado isn’t ready then just leave the avocado off the toastie, it would have been way more enjoyable (I ended up removing the avocado myself) and no one would be made. Other than that, the staff were lovely and the coffee was pretty good!

Great coffee, glad to see a proper large (3 shots) as an option. Quick service and friendly staff. Chicken and Avo sandwich was great on the go. Very convenient take away cafe without compromising on quality.

Coffee was so mild I couldn't taste it. When I asked if there was coffee in there (I asked for an iced mocha and it just looked chocolate milk) he looked at me like I was stupid and didn't offer anything else and walked out the back. I felt so silly and walked out. I wouldn't go back again... I drank half of it and threw it out. I'm still certain I paid like $7 for chocolate powder and milk.

Great service and good coffee. Also wanted to say a big thank you to Ned who works there and give them a shout out for the act of kindness the other day. I saw a man in need in the street and when I went to order and pay for a meal and a drink for this person, they would not allow me to pay. I was a bit nervous to go back and give this man the meal they had donated to him and so Ned walked all the way back to where I had seen the man to ensure my safety and that the meal was provided. I will always support them for my coffee order after their charity and kind values. Thank you.
