Latte - pretty disappointed by the coffee here if i’m being honest, expectations were high after reading so many good reviews.. Maccas do better lattes
Wagyu Pho - Wagyu and beef balls were nice and tender, soup was not seasoned or salty enough. Bean sprouts were a brown and mushy/slimey even! Requested new ones and even then, looked as sad as ever (refer to pictures).

Kid’s menu item: Chicken Burger - full sized burger + chips. Chicken was juicy, not super flavourful but amazing value! Fries were dry, sweet potato ones...

Sorry, guys (not sorry), there are bakeries at the shops over the road for that. For a great coffee and great service I highly...

We tried the crispy chicken banh mi, which was packed with traditional flavours like chilli, cucumber, carrot, and coriander. The bread was perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft inside. The Spanish omelette was light and satisfying, while the chicken spring rolls had a crispy exterior with a well-seasoned filling. For drinks, we had a soy cappuccino and a Viet egg coffee. The egg coffee, made by blending an egg yolk with condensed milk and a shot of coffee, had a rich, creamy texture and a well-balanced flavour without being too eggy. A great local spot for a casual...
