    An amazing brunch. Do not forget the Brioche French Toast with hazelnuts. The ricotta pancakes are a good less-sweet alternative. Oh, and they have you covered with delicious coffee too!

    Best coffee and breakfast in Manuka. Try the fritters or the scrambled eggs! Service is always quick and staff are uber friendly. A few choices of seating to suit your mood. Love it!

    One of Manuka's anchor establishments. A bit more modern and commercial than other places but overall decent food and coffee. Good on a sunny day.

    The Veal Risotto, with Vintage Cheddar, Dark Ale and Exotic Mushrooms was so good that I really hope it makes it on to the regular menu.

    Yummy pancakes with bacon and maple syrup. Service could have been a little better, but have always had good food here.

    One of my favourites for coffee! They can even make a soy latte taste good!

    Absolutely shocking service - we waited for over 40 mins for our meals whilst seeing people who'd ordered after us get their meals.
