There's not much by way of fancy decor. This place is fairly 'homespun'. An odd mismatch of raw surfaces, plants, barrels etc. There is a country side/shack feel to it. Rough & ready decor aside, the food coming out of the kitchen is fairly impressive for such a cafe.
Made in-house, the Hot smoked salmon with beetroot relish, avocado, spinach, poached eggs and potato rosti, is an ultimate breakfast dish. And it looks as pretty as a picture.
If the savoury breakfast/brunch dishes don't catch your eye, or you arrive at an in-between time, the cabinet full of scrumptious cakes & pastries should keep you happy - the choice is large and ranges from Caneles with their caramelised sweet crust and a soft almost custardy centre, to variations of the humble croissant with a lovely evenly light and puffed creamy texture. A sure winner.

Delicious tapas restaurant with a great happy hour. The paella was delicious as were the meatballs, calamari, Gyoza and roasted vegetables. We were with a big group, they let us order our drinks separately to ensure we didn't confuse the bill and they let us stay until close-both big pluses! We'll absolutely be back!

Approximate cost: $25-35 per person for tapas

Staff were really friendly, great atmosphere and the food was absolutely beautiful (especially their house made flat bread). Open till three for breakfast as well! Only downside was the potato rosti was overpriced for the size, although delicious!

I wanted some good breakfast and heard that this place had just opened so thought I would check it out. We ordered baked eggs and coffee which were both pretty good. When I went back another night to have a few catch up beers with friends the music was really funky and the vibe of the place was chilled but fun. The people that work there are pretty rad too.

Approximate cost: $15
