“My new favourite Brisbane cafe! The service here was next level, the were staff always accommodating us at each stage of the dining experience.

I had one of the green smoothies to start. It was very natural, smooth & not overly sweet. I chose the Sweet Potato Hash for Breakfast. A crowd favourite 3/4 from our table selected it. How delicious, avo, goats fetta, sweet potato hash & a large serving of bacon definitely hit the spot.

Worth the wait in gold, but make sure you book ahead.”

“Innovative take on breakfast/brunch.
Was impressed by the use of ingredients such as kale etc.
Lovely beverages to go with the meals.
I must add that the staff were very patient as it was well past closing time and I was taking my sweet time doing justice to my dish.”
