★★★★★“Delicious food with amazing presentation and creative combination of ingredients! A nice causal atmosphere away from the buzz of the main streets. Friendly staff make the experience wholesome. Must try their elegant waffles with subtle memorable taste.”

★★☆☆☆“I chose this Cafe after looking at reviews being high. Got a table ok but very cramped inside. I can say the heavily pireced girl was very friendly and I do commend her customer service......however the place was run by im guessing all early 20 year olds and it was chaos. Granted it was busy there was no structure. The staff were louder than the customers and my 92 year old grandmother didnt need to hear the conversations the staff were having with eachother whilst making coffees, sex life's, language, how much eachother is getting paid for the day. Food was average for the price. I guess my feedback is - think about the (loud) conversations you are having with eachother feont of house while customers can hear every word and is it appropriate?”

★★★★★“I had the falafel bowl, absolutely beautiful falafel but it was a little bit undercooked. The salsa paired well with it. The star of the was most certainly the hummus which is absolutely beautiful, incredibly well balanced, silky smooth with a great richness, I would love to have brought some but they don't sell it unfortunately”

★★★★☆“Excellent service from lovely young Lass with short dark hair. I meant to get your name! Your suggestion of the pea & halloumi fritters was perfect. We shared it but should’ve had one each. Perfect mix of ingredients and flavours. Coffees 4/5. You have to try their ginger bread wombats! So gingery and moist yet has crunch.”

★★★★★“Quiet little place away from the main road. Great staff, very friendly and attentive. Food was good, albeit thr portions size were slightly smaller than expected. Definitely worth a visit.”
