What a special little place! My husband and I booked for a lunch at 1pm and after I realised we were running late, I emailed and asked to move the booking very last minute. After realising they must not have seen it, we went anyway and the hostess was so gracious and kind, and squeezed us in any way. The coffee was SO good. You can tell every dish is made with tender love and care and even my picky husband swooned over the delicious risotto. We also had a dreamy desert of fresh scones and a biscotti ball (which the waitress kindly offered to me as a little treat on the house). Yes the space is small, but it’s intimate, beautifully decorated and truly homely. Jess and her staff can be truly proud of this hidden gem! We can’t wait to move closer in a few months so that we can regularly treat ourselves to lunch here.

My wife went here today looking forward to experiencing this establishment and was rudely spoken to by staff who were snobby, cold, pretentious, they do not take cash, the place is pretentious, you have to wait fifteen minutes for a coffee, a very cold, unwelcoming place and the staff are just as bad. This place seems to only cater for snobby, rude pretentious people. Start treating your customers with a bit more respect!. Terrible way to run a business!. For those of you wanting to come here DON'T! as you will be severely let down and made to feel uncomfortable.

My friend and i were here for their super nice lunch. Absolute loved both dishes (pumpkin and leeks). Alsoooo, i later ordered this amazing cake. THE FLUFFIEST CARROT CAKE EVER, Such a lovely cake, so so light (kinda wanted to have a second but needed to stop myself) Very nice atmosphere, not too busy and also lovely staffs!

Beautifully cooked eggs with crispy sage and lemony greens (something different, totally delicious - maybe a little on salty side). Minimal choice, high quality food on offer. They take their time so don’t go if rushed - but perfect for a lazy Sunday morning. Coffee is divine, served in beautiful pottery. Staff super friendly. Don’t listen to Sam’s review (the 3 star guy). He has issues with scrambled eggs not being scrambled enough. I tried them, they were delicious. Love independent businesses doing their thing.

Now offering a pop up restaurant on a Friday and Saturday evening. The food was fantastic modern Italian cooked with lots of love and served by the good folk that help create it. You can bring your own wine and the prices are such good value. What can I say ciao Elliott!

I come here every week and it’s such a hidden gem in the neighbourhood! Top notch brunch: I tried the harissa egg on sourdough and it was super Instagram-able on the presentation (my way of saying the food looks good) and even more beautiful in the mouth... generous portion. I always go for the flat white and never disappoint. Very friendly, helpful staff and great music, just the vibe you’d like to have when you’re going to have a brunch catch up.
