Located on bustling Ormond road a quick stroll from the beach the venue is spacious and the portions generous. While tempted by the breakfast cocktails I chose the woodpecker juice which was a refreshing mix of pineapple, orange and apple. All juices and smoothies are named for birds which was cute and I almost went for a second one but settled on a beetroot latte instead which is my go to hot beverage of late. A good rendition too complete with pretty latte art. Coffee also solid by all reports of my dining companions. Food wise I opted for the zucchini, corn and haloumi fritters with tomato, avocado and a poached egg. The dish came with bacon or an option to upgrade to beetroot cured salmon which I went for. Well priced for the quantity and plenty of flavour. We also had a smashed pea and mint avocado with a side of bacon. This came with a house made beetroot relish which was thoroughly enjoyed. I loved the addition of pomegranate on their to give it some zing too and the mint to freshen it up.Our third dish was the cauliflower and pumpkin smash which was something a bit different and certainly impressed. The menu definitely had plenty of variety and the açai bowl I spied going out to another diner would be my next choice to try on a future visit. I hear they also have a happy hour so that might be another one to keep in mind..

We enjoyed sitting outside in the sun with our dog, which made our Sunday feel even more special as we shared such delicious meals together. Thank you!

We tried the 'Egg Hurricane' and 'Pulled Pork Benedict', both of which were served in generous portions and were much more vibrant in color than we expected. The dishes were beautifully garnished with smoked salmon roses (as shown in the picture). We also enjoyed a soy cappuccino and an almond milk iced latte, both made with Bonsoy and Milklab, respectively, and they were both delicious. Our only suggestion for improvement would be to provide a more detailed menu, as describing the base of the pink dish merely as a 'potato crisp' doesn’t do justice to the flavorful spiced sweet potato rosti that accompanied it. Our French waiter (whose name I didn't catch) and the owner were incredibly hospitable, even checking to confirm whether my second drink was meant to be made with soy, as I had forgotten to specify. We will definitely be back! Rating: 4.5/5.
