If you're going around the time we did expect a 10-15 minutes wait for a table, however they do offer coffee while you wait ( coffee was good ). We were finally seated and ordered, we ordered the mushroom chips (highly recommend these), paprika chips(could do without pretty flavourless), the soft shell crab burger(over priced for what it is) and Henry's dream that was nice and refreshing( see pics ). We ordered 2 drinks one was a special iced tea that we never received and the other was a lavender hot chocolate. The lavender hot chocolate tasted kind of like a bath bomb, but with really soft white chocolate under tones. It was sweet and earthy I loved it. Overall I believe this place is over priced and only some of the food is worth it's price. However I'd recommend giving it ago, everything once right?!

They were full with a short wait list but made sure we felt welcomed and had a seat on the big planter in the courtyard and a coffee to tide us over until we get a table. The menu was good, even for a really hot Sunday. We had hotcakes with berry compote that was luscious and my friend had a very crunchy toasted delight with meat, pickles and slaw. and more coffees, they do a great late and an equally good long black- the true test of Sydney coffee making.I love the courtyard, the seats are great and the glass awning keep the sun off.Still very good!

Food was average as any hipster place, I think we just went on a bad day when they were running out of supplies but they negotiated with us which was good! Only thing that made me uncomfortable was the chairs outside, it's metal striped and it really hurt my bottom (maybe add some cushions to it?) and that our glass cups with water had a funny smell to it. Overall, it is definitely a nice outdoor setting for catching up, for the kids, and I think for small dogs as there was a small water bowl next to me.

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.
