  Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon for quick lunch, cafe was empty and we managed to get a seated very quickly. There wasn’t a heap of variety in terms of choices for first meals, most dishes sounded very similar to each other.
  
  Cow - Baked eggs with chorizo sausage served in a pan with fetta, green beans, herbs & light rye. Tomato relish on the side.
  • Bread was very hard, really struggled to eat it. Toasted way too long honestly. Everything else was okay. Could’ve used a little more tomato relish.
  
  Donkey - Poached eggs with sourdough, baked bacon, fresh spinach, shaved parmesan, cherry tomatoes & homemade aioli.
  • Ordered 2 Donkeys for the table and was honestly greatly disappointed. Poached eggs were not cooked the traditional way (was more like a hard boiled egg but cooked outside of its shell), egg yolks were all cooked through as seen in pictures. The baked bacon was overdone to the point of no return - extremely hard and dry. The sourdough was toasted way too long as well, did damage to the roof of our mouth. Salad was fresh though.
  
  Rosella - Chicken salad with avocado, cherry
  tomatoes, walnuts, croutons, cranberries,
  aioli & a drizzle of honey.
  • Salad was very fresh, chicken wasn’t bad, nicely seasoned. The croutons tasted great but was way too hard (crunchy?). The elements paired well together.
  
  Use Padre roasts here for coffee, it was alright. Nothing mind blowing.
  
  We did notify the waiters that the food “could be better” and as compensation received a couple pastries - 2x Danish, 1 blueberry muffin, muesli bar and a lemon slice. Muffin was nice and moist, not too sweet or dry, the pastries aren’t as flakey as i hoped it would be (some parts were hard), muesli bar was nice though.

  Cute little local cafe. The owners are super friendly and floating around. We had a few issues at brunch - they missed a dish when we ordered so one of us had to go back in and order and eat on their own later, the bubbles were flat so drinks/spritz needed to be remade. They did their best to rectify, but it ended up being a stressful catch up as we had a kid in tow and it was a hot out in the courtyard. I can’t even remember if the food was good because of the dramas around me

  The staff were incredibly polite and were quick and efficient. I ordered two hot chocolates and I received them within the next two minutes.
  Everyone within the cafe looked happy and the food looked great, though I only ordered my drinks.

  Lunch: Chai latte, curry meat pie.
  A perfect match for a bit chilly day. I love the way the Chai latte presents, with a little milk pot with spice inside so that you can decide when and how much to pour into your cup. It’d be even better if the milk can be a bit hotter.
