Have you ever thought to try something different on a menu? Well, today I did. My choice was avocado and feta mash, and two poached eggs on multigrain toast and pesto sauce. The cost was $15.50 and $3.00 for an extra piece of small piece of toast, making it $18.50 and $4.00 for a small skinny cappuccino totalling $22.50.

A positive was an a person with a hearty appetite, it did fill me. Yet, I requested an extra piece of toast. The two small pieces of hard multigrain bread supported this fantastic lemony, avocado and feta mixture. It was absolutely scrumptious. I pivoted the two poached eggs upon my newly ordered multigrain piece of toast. The garnish of oil and pesto was scrapped into a large garnish line which compliment the elements on the plate. I enjoyed my meal.

The waiting staff were quite responsive and friendly. Yet, the chefs were peering over the serving area to see their patrons. I felt uncomfortable with this "big brother" household.

My coffee was quite strong, with a burnt chocolate taste in my mouth. The coffee was okay, but the cup size was average. Unfortunately, the bread was extremely hard when toasted. I was feebly told by the waitress that sour dough bread was available. It was about the same size; but, apparently thicker. Additionally, my choice was her favorite breakfast.

Unfortunately, while the environment and music are pleasant, the value of money is sadly lacking here. It is a place to be seen, is a comfortable and warm place in winter. I think my meal was overpriced, for what I received.

If you just like the "vibe", then it is the place for you. However, I wish to have a good breakfast with better variety for $18.50 which is possible elsewhere. If you want to indulge yourself, then the avocado mash is worth checking out.

Approximate cost: $22.50

My partner and I was very hungry and dropped in for a bite to eat. I ordered a egg, bacon, onion, tomato muffin and coffee. My partner had scrambled eggs and toast and coffee. Firstly, my muffin cost $10 and I had about three bites it was much smaller than a Mac's fillet of fish muffin. I had never see a baby-sized muffin in my life. I was still hungry, and I had a small cup of coffee. My partner's meal was so tiny! He was also hungry. His meal had some scrambled eggs on one small piece of toast. The total meat came to $32.00.

This place does not offer value for money, perhaps there is new management. I mentioned to the lady that I was still hungry and the servings were too small. She ignored my feedback, smiled and stated have a nice day.

While, the positives are: nice chairs, space between seatings, quick, nice vibe and efficient service, it matters little if it is not value for money. Yes, it is a nice place, but there are better places to explore and doubt I will come back. It was disappointing.

Approximate cost: $32.00

I have driven past this place so many times and it has always been busy so I finally found the time to pop in for lunch. Thisplace is basically open for breakfast and luch and offers the usual breakfast and sandwich lunch menus with a few extras and with a little more pizazz. It is very popular with the young trendies and the smoked salmon eggs benedict was very good. $18. It has the added bonus of having a free wifi connection.

Approximate cost: $18
