    Been here 25+ times
    Service has improved. The Super Bircher muesli is to die for. Comes with yoghurt, shredded green apple and passionfruit.

    If you order the caesar salad with chicken, make sure they write down chicken. I've been here twice and both times they've forgotten it!

    Steak sandwich was delicious. One of the best I've had around this area.

    Place feels quieter and more roomy after the renovation. Espresso cake (with the nuts) was nice and service wasn't bad. Overall feels like they're just ironing out a few wrinkles, but would try again.

    Sit near the entrance you might be able to connect to the CommBank wifi

    Not a place I'd rush back to anytime soon. It's a bit hit and miss with service, and food as well. Seriously don't bother getting the chicken burger! Also cash only at the moment - eftpos coming soon.

    This would have to be the worst coffee ever and the service is so bad. I ordered my coffee and she decides to make 10 minutes later. And no she wasn't busy. Only 2 other tables in the cafe!

    Coffee is alright. Poached eggs weren’t runny. Nothing to rave about.

    Carrot cake was alright but mango-passionfruit frappe taste wasn't nice enough. It need more mango on it.

    Poor customer service. Not a fan of their croque Monsieur. Who put mustard in theirs?

    Won't rush back here. Food took ages to come out, was average, and no one wanted to take our money. 4 different staff manoeuvred around us wiping benches, filling btls of water etc. :-(

    Slowest take-away Croque Madame, which wasn't nice. Bread was dry and not enough filling.

    Coffee was ok. Service wasn't the best and probably won't be rushing back there because of it

    DONT EAT HERE! Service is abysmal! Vacuous back packers standing about chatting rather than serving. Never going back!! Place has sucked since reopening!

    Not as good as it used to be. Still not much for a vegan to eat.

    Below average service. BLT was a fail, expensive for a sandwich.
