Came in at 3pm, they ran out of some stuff but the girl made sure I got something I wanted. On the other hand the guy in the back did a deep sigh, quite rude. Food was alright, nothing special. Coffee was lukewarm.

Great coffee. Nice, cozy open-kitchen layout with friendly service. Some outdoor seating that's best reserved for warmer months.

Very small but cozy cafe, I liked the vibes in general of both the place and the staff. The coffee itself was good enough for Melbourne standards, wasn't a big fan of the pistachio and raspberry, but that's more of a personal taste since my boyfriend liked it. Overall I would recommend!

Beautiful coffee, very kind and friendly barista. During the lockdown and work from home period this year, it’s not only a coffee shop I go to every morning, but also a ritual that accompanied.

Very great service and atmosphere. Kind staff and let us refill our bottles with fresh water for free. Food was great, lightly expensive but overall had a great time in a very friendly environment. It was calm and pleasant without much distractions.

Scrumptious food, a bit small but that fits the vibe of the cafe. Just wish there were more tables.

Brilliant coffee and food! Living close by helps as their freshly made wraps and bagels are excellent for when one is feeling lazy about a work day lunch. Friendly service and probably one of the best pastrami bagels ever!
