We arrived just before midnight, starving and with no expectations! The staff were incredible, from the moment we arrived they were so friendly and efficient....we had delicous fresh dumpling and port buns in front of us within 10 minutes, our tea cups were frequently topped up by our lovely waiter but it was all very laid back and comfortable too. Great food, impeccable service and since they are always open late, definitely our new go-to late night food stop in Melbourne!

I love how everyone gets a warm and genuine welcome, and I so often see the owners going out of their way to c=have a chat to the customers, it's really sweet. The food is delicious, and the pancakes are the best I've ever had....loaded with fresh fruit and yummy yoghurt. It's the kind of cafe that isn't trying to be cool, no snarly too cool for cool Gen-Y wait staff....just the kind of place that you can sit comfortably and enjoy a great feed and good coffee.
