I treated my mom and myself to breakfast/brunch at their new location, and it's even more spacious than the previous venue, yet still retains the same homey, welcoming vibe. The freshly baked bread and cozy heated areas definitely add to this charm. The food was delicious and offered great value for money. The service was super friendly and welcoming, even with the serious baker in the background—though once you taste their amazing bread, you’ll quickly become a fan! This place is a great option for catching up with friends, enjoying a family meal, or even a super cute date. The fun décor and music complement the atmosphere perfectly.

Had a delightful Brunch experiece here 2 weeks ago.
I had a Grilled cheese & mushroom sandwich...melted perfection. Was huge and managed to eat 1 slice.
The Cappuccino was rich with foam and all velvety goodness and the Burnt Basque Cheesecake was heavenly!
I did a take away Beef Burger for my bro who said it was very tasty.
The place is spacious comparing to previous location. I love how they have uno cards and rubik cubes on the tables for you to keeps kids entertained. Street parking only which can be tricky at times. Cafe is literally oppo Mica Hardware store.  A menu that states: All Day Breakfast...yeah I can't wait to go back.

Nice small setting. Food was good, had breakfast bun. The bun was best, nicely toasted, the breakfast items was good, a 4. Big variety of warm drinks. Lots of teas, very big variety of teas. And coffee but more teas. Waited a bit long for our food. Atmosphere can be better
Overall good.

Hidden gem that has the combination or great service, good food and a lively ambience. The portions are generous  and so tasty.  Will definitely go back to try more off the menu. So far the toasted steak is what i have had and I can highly recommend it.
