Decided to try this little hidden cafe down a Mentone lane way. Wanted a quick brunch and was promptly seated by Tamara, the owner as i found out later. My strong 3 shot coffee arrived as ordered only minutes after i sat down. Closely followed by my dukkah seasoned middle Eastern inspired egg breakfast. Must say, I was pleasantly surprised with the presentation and food quality and flavours.

An older bloke with a cane was coming out of the only toilet there was, as I was standing next to the sink, but we didn't both fit when trying to open the inner-swinging outer door to the corridor, and, it was kind of awkward waiting for him to wash his hands while at very close quarters with him because I couldn't get past him to go into the toilet cubicle. A suggestion would be to remove the outer door altogether, to avoid awkwardly...
