This cafe serves great coffee. Their mocha was terrific. I have eaten here a few times and the food is a bit hit and miss. They offer an interesting specials board and my partner had a nice meal from that once. The normal menu is a little limited but I have managed to find a couple of things that were okay. The owner is lovely and I would like to say the place is great but the food is just a it too inconsistent.

I have to admit that I don't come here for the bagels. I come here for the iced coffee. If you get the chance, give it a try. It is a special mix, a bit like an iced coffee frappe, and it is just delicious. The small is $5 but it is quite a generous size. Just be warned that once you try it you may just get hooked :)

The is mainly a coffee shop that serves a limited range of pastries and sandwiches as well. The don't make to order, just what is on display. The coffee was okay but not what i would have hoped for. Sandwich was average. Half the shop is taken up with a produce section that seems like a waste as I didn't see anyone go there and it was a busy Saturday morning. The place has potential but not there yet.

We purchased a deal for breakfast here and were pleasantly surprised by the quality. They have unusual combinations, tastefully and well presented. I had eggs with asparagus, prosciutto, mushrooms and blue cheese and it was yum. On a nice rye bread it was a tasty meal. Coffee was quite good too. The place itself is not trendy or particularly warm in character but the good food made up for it.

This is a small Shwarma bar that has recently opened. they have a $5 falafel pita special for lunch but I had the large shwarma plate. The food was quite tasty but served on plastic plates and for $18 it was too expensive. Not much atmosphere inside but if you just want a cheap pita pocket at lunchtime it may be a good option.

We went here for breakfast on the weekend and were disappointed. The serves were tiny and the food was very average. A side of avocado next to eggs was barely a spoonful and full of mainly onions which was yuk. Coffee was average too. We used an entertainment voucher as it is in the new book so at least we didn't pay too much but it still wasn't cheap. The service was friendly but we won't be back.

Great little coffee shop with high quality reasonable food. The coffee here is really good and cheaper than most other places. They uses great ingredients and bread and serve delicious food. Their bircher muesli is amazing and many people come here especially for it. Small cafe with extra seating out back. They also offer free wifi. A favourite.

Understated cafe that serves good reasonable food. Eggs are $7, toast $4, porridge is only 5.50. The coffee is great and the serves are generous. There is also free wifi so it ticks lots of boxes. It's not the trendiest place but for a good reasonable breakfast or lunch, it's a good choice.

Rather bohemian style cafe. Very relaxed and laid back. We were rather surprised by the quality of the food. It was very good. Lovely flavours. Coffee was ok but not great and my small mocha for $4.50 was expensive. We would come back for the food. They also have free wifi which is a bonus.

I have given this place a few chances and they don't quite make it. Coffee is ok, food is ok but nothing particularly good. It is a convenient location for us but I am constantly underwhelmed. They offer free wifi which is a bonus. The owner tries hard and I wish it was better.
