The staff were young, friendly, and efficient. I didn 't have high hopes based on the Happy Cow reviews so I played it safe and decided on a BRAT. My husband suggested we share that and one of the specials so we took a risk and ordered the lamb souva tacos. Both exceeded my expectations! The lamb was tender, marinated in tasty spices but it was a little oily. The bacon was cooked crispy some of the best I 've ever had! Salad fillings were fresh, sauces creamy and flavourful but a bit messy. The BRAT was served on a nice, soft, bubbly Turkish roll. Coffee was reasonable as well but I wouldn 't go there just for that. We shared a couple of raw slices for dessert but I am not usually much of a fan of those so wouldn 't recommend. There 's a range of groceries and sweet items and a small gift shop selling chintzy hair clips, earrings, scarves, etc a bit weird! I did enjoy eating amongst their flourishing indoor plants though.

I’ve had a couple of decent meals here, but would avoid the following: 1. pulled shiitake ‘tacos’: two soft shells with a bed of coleslaw and pulled shiitake drowned in so much sriracha mayo that you couldn’t taste anything else. The $10 ‘picnic bar’, which was melted when I arrived home, was essentially a block of sweetened coconut oil coated in some sort of chocolate topping 2. broccoli and corn ‘fritters’ with rocket ‘salad’: burger-style patties with a rocket garnish and half an avo topped with hummus Coffee is good.
