Great coffee which came out fast. Tasty breakfast - enjoyed the corn fritter burger. Long wait for food - judged by that it wasn't that busy and we were the only ones waiting for food to come out. Excess butter - could just butter it for us and save yourself butter costs ;)

Been coming to this local hidden gem for a while now, nestled in the residential backstreets of Leichhardt. Food is high quality, generous serving and great value. Coffee is amazing and the team remember your regular order. Friendly staff and great vibe overall!

Great food and drinks. The right level of grumpiness; perfect service with minimal conversation The soup in Laksa was very nice and the ingredients were high quality. The noodles were not the right choice and quality though.
