Dropped into this place today while the shops were closed and I am so impressed! Very fair prices and accomodating service. The atmosphere was so relaxing! With very modern and minimalist decor. The dragonfruit refresher was magical as the natural colour of the fruit changed the the drink over time. The citrus soda water flavour was great. My sole complaint was that the pancakes stacks were a little dry but nothing the accompanying maple syrup couldn't fix

One of the best cafes in the area also has tap beer ales. The food was really good as well. Barista is 5 stars and the service is good.

Excellent fresh food and drinks, comforting interior design and lovely staff. Just a tiny bit on the expensive side, as expected.

Average food, really good coffee. I'm marking 1 star instead of 4 because of a poor-mannered arrogant stuff here ruined the experience. My friend is lactose-intolerant. She asked for oat coffee but served with normal one. We didn't complaint although she wasn't feeling well. When we were paying the bill we mentioned this to the lady because the price was different. But her apologize was like "sorry, so what?" Hey if you are not happy ask for a day off. I'm not responsible for your negative emotions. If you don't care then don't even do that fake apologize.

A modern look and feel with spacious dining areas. The food is generously portioned and very delicious. The quality ingredients really shine through. Their barista beverages and tasty and well made. There's also a good selection of ready made meal options in their glass countern along with some sweet desserts.

Poor experience, came here to celebrate Mother’s Day. Service staff were in attentive (early morning - not busy and lacked experience (serving dishes with fingers close to food). Found piece of plastic in the crab omelette, staff was initially dismissive and no apology provided. Overall food quality was nothing special, will not be returning in future

Been here a few times and the front of house team has always been very friendly. On my last visit, I had a smashed avo to share, which was plentiful and delicious (and a lot better than it looks in the pic!). Almond milk coffees could be improved, as the coffee does tend to have residue after a while. This can happen with almond milk, but other places prove that it's possible to have a smooth one too. What has me coming back is the stunning interiors, which have been thoughtfully designed to create an open space, yet one that feels incredibly intimate at the same time. Overall a wonderful experience, and a place I'd recommend to friends.
