Upon ordering their very famous nutella panacotta, I'd have to say I was a little disappointed with the portion size for the price paid. While it was something nice to eat, the flavours were not extraordinary enough to justify the price (the banana sushi was a little odd). However, the braised beef cheeks with waffles and a hollandaise sauce was truly wonderful and I thoroughly enjoyed the palate of flavours that were presented. All in all, lovely cafe with a cute interior and nice staff. Would definitely revisit for the waffles!

My kids were wrapped there was a park across the road. We had a beautiful brunch. The potato rosti were a big favorite with my husband & kids. The Nutella panna cotta was YUM but rich so we shared, the banana sushi was brilliant. The granola bowl was the best for me though. Also had good coffee & tumeric latte.

The Salmon, Zucchini and Avocado dish is perfect for my Ketogenic diet. Even though I don't usually prefer fish, this dish is amazing and I find myself coming back for it again and again.
