I really enjoyed the decor, especially the large, colorful stained glass windows and the beautifully designed bench with the café's name. It felt a bit strange to order our drinks and food at the counter, but perhaps that's more efficient. We didn't have the opportunity to try their brunch menu, but the coffee and carrot cake we did have were quite good. It seems like a wonderful spot to relax, enjoy a nice brunch with friends, and soak in the pleasant atmosphere.

Stopped here for lunch before leaving Canberra, it was beautiful and sunny, service was fast and my meal was fresh and delicious. Topped it off with an amazing refreshing Watermint drink, icing on the cake!

Sign said wait to be seated but I stood around for some time before anyone paid me attention, and I noticed another diner who came later help themselves to a seat. Place is counter service, with self service water available. Ordered a chicken chimichanga (fried burrito) and it came out within about 5 minutes! Pretty happy with the meal, happy to revisit if I ever find myself in the area again.
