Greg TanAugust 30, 2015Love the service, and the coffee ethos. No capps, flat whites or lattes - you get milk (between a capp/flat white) or black. Filters are delicious, and really eclectic menu with sizeable portions.Upvote3Downvote
Paul HammondSeptember 2, 2016The bacon and egg roll was amazing hot and just the right amount of bacon. Coffee was to die for perfect temperature and no sugar needed (I'm a two sugar drinker) the menu is changes every 3 months

Jessie SunApril 23, 2019Tried this popular cafe on Easter Monday. A bit difficult to find free parking spots around if it is not weekend/public holiday. About 20min wait during lunch time. Excellent food.Friendly service.

Alex JohnstonSeptember 1, 2014The grilled chicken salad off the new menu is amazing, so beautiful and light, but not stingy with the portions! Also would recommend the pork belly burger!

Sara TaylorJune 9, 2019Amazing fritters and coffee. Can get busy on the weekends but put your name on the list and it goes pretty quick. Also have a separate window for take away.UpvoteDownvote

Zozo WilksOctober 5, 2014Food was lovely, well presented. They were able to adapt a meat breakfast for a vegetarian, but did charge me the extra, shame! Service was excellent, coffee great but not warm enough, drink fast!Upvote1Downvote- Josh AllenAugust 19, 2015Delicious breakfast although on the upper end of what I'm prepared to pay. My friend had the bacon steak which was both epic and giant.UpvoteDownvote

JMarch 24, 2016Best coffee I have had in Canberra, comparable to Sydney standard. Dishes seem to be on the salty sideUpvoteDownvote
Great coffee. With a fair measure of pretensionUpvote1Downvote
A "large" coffee here is smaller than what most coffee shops generally call a regular... So don't be shocked. Good things come in small packages.

Mooksy ♔March 24, 2015Nice ambience and my kale dish with truffle mushrooms was a hit. Other dishes looked pretty but wasn't as good. Coffee could be warmer but it's their standard?Upvote1Downvote

The Reuben Hills of Canberra in terms of vibe and menu. That's a good thing.UpvoteDownvote

Jeffrey MokSeptember 24, 2016Great selection of coffee here, really like how they categorise their menu, really shows how specialised they are. Would definitely trying the gold labels, they give some nice recommendationsUpvoteDownvote1
