I can't say enough good things about this cafe! The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. They’re always happy to recommend their favorites and take the time to chat, which adds a personal touch to every visit. As for the coffee, it’s nothing short of amazing! Each cup is crafted with care, rich in flavor, and perfectly brewed. The baristas clearly know their craft and are passionate about what they serve. If you're looking for a cozy spot with fantastic coffee and outstanding service, this is the place to be!

This cafe is just a short walk from the North Ryde metro and overlooks a park with a kids playground. Good variety of options on the menu that cater to diff dietary requirements. My smashed avo on toast was a winner, the airy, briney whipped feta was a nice touch. The spicy prawn spaghetti and salmon soba also looked delicious. Service was outstanding. We were a pretty large group of adults and kids but the staff were so accommodating and welcoming, even offering to take a photo for us (bonus: they take bookings). This is a great spot if you're looking for brunch in the area or if you need a family friendly cafe.

This is my local café and my husband and I routinely come here to indulge in their delicious food and coffee. The staff here are so incredibly kind, personable and, it should not go without saying, exceptionally hard working! I appreciate the tiresome effort it must take to appear seamless while propped up on your toes all day, whether it be whipping up the glorious food in the kitchen, or being the calm and smiling face taking orders, delivering food and navigating difficult customers. I feel so privileged to enjoy such exceptional food, amazing people and phenomenal environment right at my doorstep. Also, the barista, Aria (I hope I got that right), is way too talented with foam! Thank you!

Very good coffee . Highly recommend the place for breakfast . I tried the brekkie wrap - amazing. They have tables outside. So, dogs are welcome. Parking is shared with Coles and other shops. Also, there are parking spots in the street.
