This place seemed inviting as I drove through the area, quite a few people enjoying their coffee outside and local tradies dropping in for a take away. Seemingly, a nice little local. Worth a shot!

I took a look at the menu and landed on the shakshuka. I found the service when I ordered underwhelming; not very welcoming or receptive (maybe it's just me?).. I asked if it's possible to add some fresh dill to the dish (noting it's available on other dishes) though the question was met with confusion verging on disdain ....so I politely withdrew the request. 😂. Maybe they were having a rough day.

When the food arrived the server kindly said "I hope you enjoy your meal" which was nice.

The shakshuka seemed to be diced tomatoes with a spoonful or four of brown sugar and a tiny bit of spice. There was some onion in there too... the x1 poached egg was overcooked. No feta as advertised (or not noticed). Watery. Highlight was the side of garlic toast, that was nice. I appreciate that people make and enjoy shakshuka differently and have different tastes, so the dish could be right on point for...

🙈 Lovely little spot, busy with the cyclists so get in early on the weekends.

UPDATED.....

Disappointed after coming here a few weeks ago it didn't feel like the same place. The scrambled eggs kn toast were fine. The coffee was great.

The service and toilets were not up to what I was expecting. No condiments (salt and pepper) offered, I had to go looking for them. The butter was rock hard (I hate that) but worst of all the toilets were like taking a trip to the outback.....

Literally "out the back" behind the bins and the building, dark and dirty. The lights didn't work, 1 dunny out of order, the door didn't shut or lock. Now I don't mind so much but if I was older or less able bodied or a young child this would be a horrible experience, enough to stop me coming back for sure.

In fact I'll actually check the toilets before I order from here again....

I'll admit I didn't wash my hands.... I genuinely felt it would be...
