Placed was packed, but we were lucky to get a table.

We ordered the Chicken avocado sandwich ($13.50) and coffee.

The sandwich was fresh but lacked flavour, and I felt it was plain and needed more seasoning. The coffee, however, was great!

Might come back and try other breakfast options from their menu.

The egg Benedict with salmon is so nice! I added a few bucks for the mushroom on the side. Staff is friendly but it would be great if there is clearer signage for the weekend surcharge.

Quick coffee and danish for breakfast. Coffee was a bit too light in flavour and milky for me. The danish tasted a bit stale (or perhaps just the quality of the baker they use).ix of highly friendly, and not so friendly staff

I tried their eggs Benedict ($24) and it was delicious! You get a choice of bacon, ham, smoked salmon, pulled pork or mushrooms. Eggs were poached well. Hollandaise was thicker than expected but still deliciously creamy. Love how they provided a serrated knife to make eating it that much more pleasurable, and also gave a bottle of water and glass without having to ask. Mocha (small $5.50) was nice too. No surcharge on card. The entrance is actually on Downie St - if you just looked at Flinders Lane according to their google maps address, you may think the shop's closed and move on. Fast service - didn't wait long for order to be taken and food arrived within 10 minutes with drink arriving before that (August 2023)

So I recently visited this cafe to treat myself with a nice brunch. First, they put water on the table and there’s something black floating on top when I pour water. I told them and they changed the glass which felt a little warm and then I sniffed it and I could literally smell egg. I ordered chai late and asked for honey in it but they ignored my request. Food was good but this experience made it bad.

I did not realise how little was open on a Sunday! Friend and I were looking for places close to MCEC and wanted brunch - this was around 10:45am. We initially wanted to go to another cafe close by but when we got there people were queued up and we were so hangry and impatient!

We ended up looking for this little gem instead (through a quick google maps look at what else could be around). It was also very full but we ended up only waiting for 8 or so minutes for a table for 2 and it was very quick service. Staff were attentive and kind and the food hit the spot when we needed it most! We ordered our coffees first and got a skinny latte and an oat cap. Then for food we got an eggs benedict and an avo toast with smoked salmon. My one was the avo toast, and it tasted super fresh. Nothing special in terms of flavours, but a yummy and classic fave.

Overall a pleasant experience. We spent about 30ish each.
