A very friendly cosy local cafe spot here! Definitely recommended to come by and drop in for a coffee grab or a brunch! Love their eggs and bacons Benedict and salad ! A little bit busy during the lunch hour but overall still a lot of seatings for both indoor and outdoor.

Unique cafe with friendly service and a variety of food, including Lebanese style all-day breakfast options. I ordered the Herbed Mushrooms, which were absolutely delicious. They even ensured it was made halal for me. The prices were great and the coffee was very nice too.

Their coffee is always on point! Try a Oat Mocha, you will be pleasantly surprised! Their service is with a smile which brightens my day! Grab a cuppa and head to Alma Park and enjoy.

The only cafe near the park so naturally I had to come and check this place out after my morning walk. The coffee was good, banana bread can be better, but the table was a bit dirty when I sat down. They probably were understaffed. Trier their brunch / lunch menu and I had to wait almost for half an hour for a falafel wrap and it wasn't even warm. Presentation can be better, too.

AMAZING FOOD, EVEN BETTER PRICES! The smashed avo was one of the best I’ve had. Potato rosti was 10/10, along with the phoenican burger. Big sized meals for VERY affordable prices.

Nice little cafe under a block of apartments with indoor / balcony seating. Nice variety of cakes and quick bites to take away. Small menu but covers something for all tastes. Coffee was good and very good pricing. I'll be back to try more
