And more so the only place I could find opened today. The coffees were good and the eggs were cooked well. The service was better than previous hence I'm scoring higher than I would have.

This is my favourite café in the Glebe area. The breakfasts are delicious and varied. There are always specials (e.g. hot Italian chorizo breakfast, sautéed mushrooms, bacon and egg frittata, croquettes) which I love to try for a nice change. The service is friendly and efficient and the atmosphere relaxed. The quality is consistently good and prices are fair. This has now become our regular morning café haunt. View all feedback.
