Loved the food and the atmosphere. Attentive staff. Kale (and other greens) that came with the Salmon fillet were cooked but still crunchy. Had a unique taste of spice and lime which made the whole dish delicious. My parter had Eggs Benedict which was yum too. We have been there before and every time we were are satisfied. Reasonably priced too.

The food was good, vibe good for a Saturday morning but everything else could be improved. Staff too busy talking about who was doing what last night to bother coming over and taking our order or even stop chatting when we gave up and came to the counter. Please don’t pretend to be table service if you can’t back it up.

Food is ok but coffee is great. Pancakes are soo good. Scrambled eggs is looking good but not that perfect. Milkshake is horrible.

I've eaten here before, the food is not bad but nothing to rave about, and the staff tend to leave you alone which I like. I was able to order from them via Deliveroo, during the Christmas period. Food usually arrives cold so they could improve on their packaging. Their fresh juice has reduced in size (it now comes in the smallest cup instead of a big one). Its basic breakfast food which they generally cant go wrong with. They usually dump everything into a takeaway box no care for presentation. They could do with improving on the suggestions above. P.S I think they forgot the holladaise sauce... Sigh. They usually forget something so I do always feel abit jibbed ordering from this place. Yummy but also mediocre at the same time.

The other reviews about the staff are accurate to the many times I've eaten and ordered from this cafe; I enjoy the food, so I keep coming back, hoping it'll be different, but staff can barely be bothered to look at you, or pause in their conversations. Check-in and vaccination status are never checked, and staff have rarely worn masks over the last 18 months (often, there's an attempt, with it placed over their chins). Delivery during lockdown(s) was unimpressive, with my eggs on toast coming without toast(!), or my French Toast coming without its sides. Ultimately, it's South Yarra - you can find somewhere else.
