I had brunch here with a friend. Service was fine, maybe a touch slow but Sunday mornings are busy and it should be expected. The menu covered most of the usual, I had a spicy cassoulet and my friend eggs Benedict. The food was really good, coffee and juice really great also. I have to say that this is a bit more expensive for than most Surry Hills brunch hangouts and the portions aren't that big, you can add extras (at extra cost) but it really is becoming expensive then. I would go back but only if I wasn't too hungry (which isn't very often).

As I left my friend and I both got a chai latte to take away. I was expecting something milky, spicy and sweet. I am not sure how they make it here (perhaps more traditionally than I am used to?!) but what we got was something very watery, not at all sweet and not that spicy. More like a weak chai tea. My friend throw hers away as soon as we got to the nearest bin and I didn't drink more than half. Disappointing.

Overall, a nice place to try out, can be v busy at peak times, bit more expensive than usual, not huge portions but very tasty.

Approximate cost: $19

1st time I checked it out when it just opened, brought a muffin, got to work & ate it, spat it out, tasted horrible & wasnt sure what was wrong with it. Thought maybe it was me so I didnt think nothing of it. 2nd time I went past on way to work & wanted to give the new restaurant another fair go, couldnt find anything cheap, within my budget thats good value & would fill me up for breakfast, other than the muffin, so I gave it another go. Same experience, but this time I had 1 bite & took it home to show mum & ask her opinion on whats wrong & she pointed out that the muffin wasnt even cooked!!! so that was whats wrong with it! It was too doughy

How hopeless that they cant even cook a simple muffin that a child can do. I never went back to the place again. All the meals were too expensive for a little amount & were all too much seasoning for me, covering the natural flavours of the food really puts it off for me. paying that much for sh!!

Approximate cost: $27
