Highly recommended if you are in the neighborhood. Had the french toast here with a friend, food was very good, tasty and presentable in a nice plate, they also have seats outside in the shade, which is very nice with some breeze in summer.

On top of the normal good things of a restaurant, I was also very grateful for their help and kindness. I was visiting Canberr and the storage service I booked with the newsagency next door was closed without notifying the app, and the lady at the cafe was super kind and let me keep my luggage there for a few hours while I headed to the War Memorial. Such a nice lady and restaurant. Will come back to the cafe next time...

Rachel is a walking , talking sunshine. She always greets us with the biggest smile and makes our morning.

When I visited today, she asked if I wanted my usual. I told her not today, as yesterday’s order didn’t quite hit the mark; the food felt a bit undercooked. I chose something different, and while I was waiting, she came over with genuine concern and said she was sorry I felt that way, and insisted I could pick any item on the house. She even made my chicken and avo sandwich extra delicious today!!!
