    This is my go to cafe at crows nest. Wish they have more food varieties especially breakfast. The last time i had my brioche it was disappointing and the serving too small for the price they charge.

    Hot chai latte was like hot milk, in contrast the bottled iced chai latte is liquid gold -delicious!

    Pains me to say it but the coffee has gone a bit down hill lately. Maybe its some new staff bedding in but there are some better options in Crows Nest at the moment for regular coffee.

    Crap coffee. No flavour, not strong enough. Go next door to Montagu
