Great for breakfast. I had their waffles which were awesome.
I even saw Eamon Sullivan the Olympic swimmer having breakfast there.

Approximate cost: $20

New place so everyone is keen- packed out and tricky parking. Very poor acoustics - the cement floor looks cool/ trendy to go with casual deco BUT means you can't hear anyone and then everyone yells louder- definitely NOT relaxing! Suggest some cheap-as-chips seagrass matting or rugs to improve the sound problems. Supposed to be vegan friendly - haha I say- when we came for brunch the only vegan breakfast option was not available as had run out of fruit to go in the granola- when we pointed out the 2 punnets of strawberries on the kitchen counter were told 'not the right ones'- they offered toast as the 'vegan option' instead! So my daughter actually went to the supermarket directly behind the cafe and bought her fruit to put on the granola cereal. This on a Sunday morning at 10.30am ! No one bothered to go next door and buy some extra fruit for the granola - vegan daughter and friends not going back. Staff looked harassed - not one smile from any of them!! Food was OK - small but pricey menu- not too long a wait given how busy. But we had to clear our own table and wipe it down with serviettes as no one in sight to do this- very very low on floor staff to clear and set up - definitely no one greeting at the door!!!! Maybe splash out and get some cheery backpackers or work experience youngsters as cheap extras at such a busy time to just do the basics of clearing, shopping, etc to keep everything chugging along. Coffee OK. Had a petition on counter to get alcohol licence- should maybe have a suggestion box as well. Great location - pity about the staffing, variety of vegan food offered, poor acoustics.

Approximate cost: $22
