What customers say?

“ How good is it, to step into a warm café on a cold Melbourne morning. Step in and breathe in the coffee aroma, music playing, and open conversations that just flow. Before the coffee even brewed, we were chatting about Grey’s Anatomy soundtracks and Melrose Place nostalgia ...felt like a quick catch up with old friends. The kind of place where you're welcomed in, not just served. Made me smile before that first sip. ”

“ Lovely atmosphere at 9ish in the morning on a Wednesday. Seating initially looks limited but there's a whole section in the back of the cafe. Tables and floors are clean and neat, nothing mysteriously sticky. Had the Texas Benedict and got some work done on a laptop comfortably. Really lovely staff who checked in if I'd like any water, etc. Coffee is excellent and just what I needed after a 5:30am start. A real gem in the area, well worth dropping by if you're waiting for someone from the Angliss Hospital or want a bite to eat before heading back to the north west. Cheers team! ”

“ It was a lovely stop for lunch today. The staff were really friendly and welcoming. I ordered a Berry smoothie and their open lamb souvlaki. The lamb was soft and juice so I gorged on it! I was starving. The place was decent and cosy. It's about 5mins walk from the station and there is a bus stop near that strip as well. ”
