"Popped in for lunch and was pleasantly surprised on how nice the cafe was. It isn’t huge and there is a large communal table if you don’t get a table by yourself. The prices are on the higher side, but the size of the sandwiches are large, almost enough to share or take half home to have later. We had the chicken katsu sandwich which was full of flavour, the cumin roasted lamb which was a hit, fries as a side and as they serve breakfast later in the day, we also had porridge. They have gluten free bread as an alternative if needed. They also bake freshly croissants and rolls."

"I would eat here everyday if I could. Rocky and Artha and the team vibrate lots of energy and friendliness. We have breakfast/brunch almost every weekend and can not fault the service and food. I pick up my morning coffee and muffins before work that gets me through the day. Highly recommend the muffins."
