Lovely cafe that offers great breakfast and lunches. I love the porridge with bananas. It is a big serve and nicely prepared. My partner usually has the pancakes with berries. Last time I was there I tried the eggs and it was served with delicious five grain bread. Will have it again.

Approximate cost: $12

The food her was terrific and so was the coffee. The strangest thing was the management. We were initially turned away even though the place was only half full and were only given a table because we insisted. We then noticed that lots of people were being turned away. It was 11am and they only served breakfast till 12 so perhaps they didn't want to do the breakfast menu but during the time we were there a lot of business was lost. Nevertheless we found the food delicious and it came quickly.

Upmarket restaurant that is trying to achieve something but not making it. They have a lunch special which we didn't try but the place doesn't do much lunch trade. My fish was very disappointing, expensive and tasteless.

Good serves, reasonably priced. This place has improved and is always busy so you have to be lucky to get a table. Their special lunch menu is great value. A whole tray for $8

The main drawback here is the service. It's just too slow...really slow. For a breakfast place it should be snappy as who wants to wait over half an hour for a bowl of porridge. It is quite good, when it arrives though. Lunch is also the same. Come if you have lots of time. The staff have been known to be rude so beware. It is also a little pricey for a cafe.

These guys are new and trying hard but not quite making it. Coffee was ok, food was ok, all just average. Breakfasts were a little pricey and overall disappointing. Service was pretty average too.

Popular trendy spot on Bridge Rd. The food looked good and was reasonable. My omelette looked huge but was a bit dry and came with nothing, not even toast. Overall it was ok but I wouldn't rush back.

We came here for breakfast. The restaurant looks lovely and has a good feel about it. The food was ok though a bit expensive. Coffee was average. We used the entertainment voucher which helped.

Lovely Japanese restaurant with good attentive service and very nice food. It is more expensive than your average spot but lovely to come to for a special meal.

Pretty standard pub fare but we were all quite happy with our meals. We were given a booth in a little alcove which was separate from the main dining area but we didn't mind. The best was the little goats cheese pizza we shared to start. Delicious.

Approximate cost: $18
