It may not have a menu that really excites but it is consistent and the services is always great. It's a good local place to go to. Kids friendly.

The locals know where its at with this one. It may not be as glamorous as the newer cafes but the food is still very good. A lovely, humble cafe.

Not sure how I could have not known about this cafe earlier. But then, it is such a great little gem, I should not be surprised that its patrons keep quiet about it. In terms of surrounds and atmosphere, it has a modern relaxed vibe.
The menu is amazing. Great selection of inspired options to choose from, very generous servings without scrimping on quality or precision, and simply delicious execution.
Think dishes such as Egg White Scramble with Masala, Chorizo, Napoli Sauce and Chilli.

Love this place! Had lunch there this week, the service was amazing, the waiter came and opened the door for us and was very attentive throughout our lunch. It was busy but plenty of room to sit in the back area which is very kid friendly. Excellent variety on the menu. The food came out quickly, I had the chicken caesar salad which was delicious. Very impressed.

Approximate cost: $15-25

I worked within walking distance of here for years and it was a favorite lunch spot both for day to day lunches and taking friends and business colleagues. Fabulous salads which are reinvented on a seasonal basis and a vibrant atmosphere. Terrific.

Wow !Wow !Wow ! Delicious food, excellent service and wonderful atmosphere. A very inviting cafe which has a great selection of tasty food. The salt & pepper calamari was one of the most flavoursome dish I have had. A most enjoyable eating experience, Thankyou Watts Cooking!

The vegetarian breakfast that I had here was one of the best offerings I have ever found. The bruschetta with mozzarella had me drooling so much I've come back on many occasions.
Yes you have to pay a bit of coin but it's worth it.
I wish that the corn fritter was available as a vegetarian option, when I asked if there was the possibility they said I should just take the chicken off - not cool to a vegetarian.
That said it didn't tarnish my opinion of them at all, just left me with a bit of wishful thinking.
Coffee is top notch and worth going for that alone

I have been here 5 or so times in the last couple of months since moving into the area and I do like it for some things e.g quite welcoming staff, good selection of food, usually good coffee, generally space to sit if not in front then out back (although i think the marquee lets down the 'courtyard' and makes it feel like a boring wedding venue, I get they are trying to be prepared for if it rains but on a hot/sunny day it becomes like an oven in that thing, a nice garden-y area with tables and chairs would be great for nice days and that's what most cafe's would call a courtyard, not this)

there are a few points on which they could work on:

- The tables and chairs in front room are so squishy and its a bit boring to just see all the same tables lined up, maybe some couches near the lovely big open window, or some different sorts of tables and chairs would create a better atmosphere as I feel this aspect really lets the place down 'ambience' wise.
- the service is very hit and miss, sometimes they don't take your coffee order for quite awhile and then same for food, you can be sitting there giving them signs you want to order and they don't even say 'i'll be with you in a minute' they look/walk away like they haven't seen you.

- The main barista (I think he is the owner) makes great coffee however the other barista is pretty average - maybe needs to do more barista training?

Approximate cost: $10-20
