Update March 2024: been a few times and the bagel seems to have changed. Sadly, I don't really like the addition of all the egg salad as it throws off the previous balance. ------ October 2023: Solid 5/5 cannot recommend higher. Came here on a weekend and so glad I booked. The balance of flavours in the food is great and dishes are generously portioned. Lovely staff who helped move outside as well :) they have an excellent variety of both food and drinks (including cold pressed juices) and great coffee. Will definitely be back!

A great neighbourhood hood with plenty of seating and a relaxing alfresco area. It gets quite busy and good sometimes takes a little long, but it's a perfect place to catch up with friends and family. Overall the food is cooked well and the portions are sufficient. Will be back in the future.

I got Turkish eggs for breakfast here - the garlic seasoning is very generous it’s overall very tasty. The poached eggs were cooked exactly to perfection with still runny egg yolk. Only the bread was toasted a little too much and 2 pieces were a little too hard to eat. It would also help to have this served with spoon to be able to eat all the goodness. Nevertheless though, I enjoyed the food, the service was great and ambience on a Sunday morning was perfect as well. Great place!

A great location and I love the set up and decor. I had the scrambled eggs, smoked salmon & chives in a croissant with the hash brown. It was delicious though a bit expensive in my opinion for what it was. The coffee was great and perfect spot for a sunny day to be sat outside.

I can’t believe we have only bummed into this cafe after all these years. It has to be one of the most charming cafes with outdoor sitting. Surrounded by beautiful sandstone buildings and with a boutique flower shop and homeware store on site. You feel like you are sipping coffee in an European village.

New name, but same delicious coffee and food, and wonderful service. Really enjoyed the Nonie’s gluten free fig and almond toast with real butter! Gorgeous spot on the peninsula, surrounded by other beautiful shops, such as The Lost & Found Department (with lovely homewares and clothing), Hunters Hill Wine Room and Dawn Bakery, plus a The Village Florist and Hunters Hill Optical optometrist across the road. Provides the opportunity for some shopping and breakfast or lunch.
