Place looked clean and tidy, counter food looked appealing but not hot tho , as needs to be heated in microwave,,the coffee was average, and the scramble eggs were done with curry powder as not a big fan , the staff member behind counter couldn't smile to customer's and found to on cell phone a lot ,,but no cloves used when grapping food or washing hands after playing with cellphone, the other staff member must be having a bad day as was not a happy chappy, as there is only one menu which I had to take down as for my elderly mother could read it , limited on table seating, seem to be okay as lots of room to improve .

Popped in here while waiting for the gym next door to open. They make a really delicious fried eggs and toast here, presented elegantly. An added bonus is the drug store next door, where I picked up some vitamins I had been meaning to get

Highly recommended! We went in for brunch and already know it's going to be a favourite spot. Aside from the gorgeous aesthetic, there is a generous offering of healthy breakfast/brunch/lunch on the menu, as well as smoothies, protein shakes and MTC shots. I ordered the Yoda bowl which came with fresh coyo, spirulina powder, and granola made in-house. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient at a busy time of the day and the cafe itself was beautifully decorated.

Food was okay, but the service was exceptional. Counter person, explained all the contents of the cabin food. First time I'm experiencing this kind of warm and cheerful service!
