Coffee is fantastic, great service and such a discovery. Came from Timor-Leste and the vibe was just what I needed. Sadly I didn’t get the chance to eat here but what I saw looked amazing. I did go to The Last Supper next door one night and it was outstanding ! I found my happy place. Thanks team.

The food is yummy. Matcha is good. Food portions are generous. Staffs are friendly. It would be even better if it is a pet-friendly cafe.

The place was well patronised especially for the coffee. Breakfast menu is not extensive but should please discerning palettes. We thoroughly enjoyed our lattes and the scrambled eggs and smashed avo toast. Staff were super efficient and attentive.

Great atmosphere with a very relaxing music selection. The decor has a nostalgic vibe that reminded me of my university days, which I really enjoyed. The pastries are good, but the coffee is even better. I had an almond croissant and a flat white—the coffee was excellent, but the croissant was a bit dry for my liking. I had the pleasure of talking to the owner, Mr. Reed, about the coffee they use. He also mentioned that the pastries are sourced from a local business, which is great to see. The staff are very attentive and friendly, which added to the overall pleasant experience. Would definitely return!
