I never get a chance to get a table on the weekend, but I went on a weekday when it wasn’t too busy. The coffee and croissant were perfect, and the service was amazing. At first, the croissant wasn’t heated, but they noticed and offered to bring me a freshly warmed one without me even asking. I was pleasantly surprised and really grateful. I definitely recommend this café—it was so good!

It has a great location and environment! The cafe is right next to the medical center, so I can get hot food as soon as I come out of the center in the morning. I highly recommend the matcha latte, it's very rich. There's also fried chicken waffle, which you can only get here. It's also dog-friendly and provides water bowls for them

Very cute spot that does great coffee and fantastic food. They have a seasonal menu as well, so it always great to come back to see their rotation. Their chicken and waffles were very good and as well as their mince hans benny. Would come back again to try their acai bowls on a warmer day. Very satisfied with their service as well. EDIT: Came back again to try their breakfast taco and it was phenomenal. Not too heavy but still delicious with different textures and flavours that work very well with each other! Coffee is always great!

I tried the breakfast roll with a side of potato waffles. My wife got the Korean chicken burger. Both meals were very tasty. Potato waffles would have been perfect with a little more salt. My wife’s mocha was almost cold when it arrived which was a shame. My iced long black was great. The crew were very friendly and accomodating when we appeared with our 3-month old and his bouncer Store clean and well presented.

I finally got here!! The number of times I've driven past, and finally, I got to eat here. I was hungover when we visited and I think it was the best day to dine here, the food was everything I needed!! The service was good. We got a table inside within a few minutes, and the food portion was big! The food tasted so good also! I had the corn fritter stack, which I loved!!! Two fritters would have been enough though My hubby had the breakfast burger we were very satisfied.

Great coffee, great foods. Specially recommend this banana bread for breakfast. The cappuccino is very suitable with everything here. Very good atmosphere and bit more chilly outside than in the inside.
