Been wake up by a fake fire alarm in hotel, walked in this amazing place randomly. Very big surprise for the food and coffee. Another surprise is there was a queue outside at weekend morning 😂

Federal sets the benchmark for cafe brunches. The staff are very kind, lovely folks as well.
Food stuffs:
- Matcha latte (9 out of 10): rarely do cafes do matcha lattes right. This is one of the ones that gets it right. Great balance of matcha bitterness, with no added sugar.
- Steak sandwich (9 out of 10): I'll be honest it looks boring from a visual standpoint. But damn, that bread! It's not quite ciabatta, but has a really great crisp to it. The steak, is cooked to what I consider perfection.
- Pistachio tiramisu French toast (8 out of 10): this was one of their specials, and unfortunately not part of the regular menu. Brioche bread, soaked in cream and sweet pistachio goodness. This is also a winner

The breakfast experience ordering eggs benedict with salmon and French toast was delightful. The french and eggs benedict was normal i would say average in taste and presentation and bit over priced too However chai latte was really good and tasty.
For the breakfast there is wait for 15-20 minutes if you want to sit inside
Service was really quick

Enjoy the cozy atmosphere of the greens-themed cafe, especially on a sunny day. The food is delicious, made with simple yet fresh and high-quality ingredients.

I've been here a few times now. Easily one of the best breakfasts I've had and consistently good. Everything tastes fresh (they get their produce and goods delivered fresh daily).
The French Toast is leagues beyond anything I've ever tried anywhere.
Atmosphere is vintage which is quaint but there's limited seating therefore there can often be long queues and wait times. Personally I think it's worth the wait to try it.
They've recently increased their prices so they are certainly on the expensive side but you can rest assured you'll be satisfied with the meal.

The most popular of the 3 branches they have around the city. They have one of the best French toast. The cream they use is really good and the toast is soft and everything works well on the plate. The steak & eggs are also something worth trying. Really good steak and the sauces are very flavorful. Would visit again when I’m next in the city.

Gorgeous cafe with amazing food. The atmosphere is lovely with plants framing the large windows. We had the Turkish eggs and the special of the day; the Korean sandwich. They were unbelievable. We were in awe of how good they were.

Always busy when we have tried to get in today as in no rush we waited.
Staff was friendly and good.
I saw on the menu a corn fritter which i skimmed over till i asked what someone was eating and it was the fritter. So i had with bacon which was excellent and tasty. My wife had sandwich of hummus sweetcorn and falafel on sourdough which was also very tasty.
Coffee was spot on too

It's an alright cafe, nice and chill vibe and botanical earthy decor. Lots of ppl line up to get in at breakfast hours and the place doesn't haven't that many seats. Food is just fine but nothing special. I had their smashed avocado toast with smoked salmon. Portions could be bigger. Also tried their Iced Chai Latte, taste good but again, nothing special.
