Henry the owner of the cafe was incredibly welcoming and made a killer Oat Flat white. Highly recommend the watermelon juice/ slushy was delightful. Was also told that they do a Greek night once a month with food and live music. As someone’s who just move to the area I think I’ve found my new local cafe.
I only had a fresh juice drink here which was good. So I can't comment on the food or its quality. The 5 stars is for the very welcoming and lovely service from the staff, mainly the lady who was there at the time of our visit. It's great to have this shop in this area that doesn't have many other options.
Great place with good vibes. Amazing coffee, delicious food, lovely staff. The best Halloumi I’ve ever tried. Such a great selection of breakfast and lunch.
Charming local village cafe located in suburban Lilyfield. It was practically empty when I visited for Monday morning breakfast around 10am, so the wait time was minimal. Their smashed avo was a pleasant dish which was well prepared and quite tasty. Poached egg is extra. The outdoor alfresco seating looks welcoming particularly during the warmer months.
Really awesome cafe with awesome staff. They absolutely nailed the breakkie stack with their Local Press Stack. My partner got the Big Press Breakky with scrambled eggs and a perfectly brewed long black coffee. Happy.
Lovely cafe next to a little playground which is great if you have kids. Always a queue for takeaway coffees & food especially with all the firemen! Menu caters for a wide range of taste with gf & vegan options. Eggs are lovely & poached well. Ham & cheese croissant although basic but delicious using good quality croissants. Coffees are strong & chai latte also nice. Very friendly service and staff also.
Have visited for coffee many times over the years but this place has recently improved leaps and bounds. Friendly and fast, good coffee, a great spicy chicken wrap too. We'll be back.
Amazing cafe, bright and nice good seating area indoor and outdoor. Offers discounts to students. Loved it.
