This cafe is super popular and no doubt as to why when you get to dine here. The staff are super organized. Firstly, they let you know of any wait time. Today, there were 4 of us, and we did have roughly a 20-minute wait. Finally we were seated and ordered some food, yes we over ordered because the food portions are very generous but oh so tasty. The servers were amazing, friendly, and attententive yet busy as, and hats of to the chef and team because the food is 10/10. The cabinet food is incredible, the slices looked amazing, and we tried the brownie, which was so fudgy and decadent. The cheese scones are massive, beautifully toasted with loads of butter on the side. The banana bread is thick and luscious. Others that dined with us had the avo on toast and eggs bene, and they loved their meals. The coffee is so good as well. This place is so worth a visit. I love the decor inside...industrial and love the plants hanging from the ceiling! Parking is a bit difficult, there is paid 60 min parking on the road outside the front of the cafe but if you go around the block by the Southwark apartments there is free 60 mins parking on the road and you can walk through one of the car park areas to easily get to the cafe. Would highly recommend Unknown...

So, I finally picked "Unknown Chapter" because they use sourdough. Many places use potato hash which I don't like. Well, the place was packed! One good thing about dining alone is...you get to be seated very quickly. I was pleasantly surprised by attentiveness of a young "front of house" lady. Because I had no way of keeping my seat and ordering at the counter, she took my order and payment using portable devices. Coffee came quickly. I observed staff working, what appeared, effortlessly; no agitation; smiling; making eye contact with customers; filling in gaps for each other; no customer left unattended... Food arrived, beautifully presented on a black plate - 2 big slices of sourdough, sauce, spinach, crisp bacon and flat mushrooms. I was greedy and the portion was way too much for me. But...I eat it all! Thank you all - staff and chefs - for making my outing a...
