A lady, her name is Dominique if I'm not wrong was very friendly and professional but not too casual, her services to us and others was very good too.

I had the Club Veg Paradisio which had so many flavours on the plate. Delicious. Cool decor too. Would definitely recommend.

This is the latest entry in the proliferation of nice cafes in the Chippendale/Redfern/Darlington area, and with the amount of competition, opening up yet another cafe seems a brave move. But this place sticks out.The menu is imaginative even against the already high bar established in the last few years. Everything is very healthy, low on fat and high on choice ingredients. Presentation is beautiful, see the photo. Even better was the "Polly Jean" dish, but I forgot to take a picture of it. The portions are relatively small, which may leave the youngsters dissatisfied, but in my age the main challenge is to check the sideways growth, so this is fine. I'd rather not pay for food to leave it on the table (or eat beyond what I need). The menu seems to change about every two months, which itself is refreshing.On top of that, it's an extremely pleasant outdoor seating (partially covered), tables spaced generously (I suspect they'll move them denser during rain to get more protected seating).We went there a second time three days after the first, that already says a lot...

The Tiradito was delicious and light. The ripper was okay, but the overload of balsamic in the mushroom made it difficult to finish. The Prince of Brighton was also a good dish. Overall a good cafe with friendly and prompt service.

Food was stunning on the plate and delicious in the mouth. Prince of Brighton has the perfect combination of pastry, avo and mango to make it a refreshing dish. The Ripper was doused in balsamic mushrooms and the Tiradito had a mix of different things that complimented each other well on a plate. Coffee was smooth and creamy. The Rooibos Rose Latte was anything too special but I felt it has a nice subtle rose taste in a creamy milk drink and the watermelon cold press was very refreshing. Super outstanding.
