Lovely little cafe in Hay St Perth CBD. Food and coffee is excellent. Perfect place to work on your laptop and enjoy a sweet treat!

Great bacon! Something so simple can be undercooked so often. Not here - nailed it! Poached eggs on point. Good coffee too! Great flavour, temperature and texture. The baristas are proud of their work as they carefully position their coffee designs to face towards you, as the coffee is placed in front of you. The owner was on premise this morning which added to the cafe vibe.

The only reason it gets a 4 is: I've been to so many places at this point, I need a way to differentiate "great" from "exceptional". This place is definitely great. The eggs benedict was good and well made. The coffee was, indeed, exceptional! The vibe is cosy and the service good. Great option for a breakfast! 100% recommend.

During our stay in Perth CBD, this is one cafe that we kept going back for our daily breakfast fix! Love their flaky butter croissants! Especially, the French Benny & Seaside Benny The staff there also have good memories! On our second visit, they already knew what we had the previous day! Lactose free milk for our coffee, and we normally share our meal as both of us are small eaters!

Wow what a beautiful breakfast. Probably the best bacon you’ll ever have eggs were cooked perfectly and the coffee was to die for.

It was a random find for us as tourists, the cafe is tucked inside an office building. Surprisingly good food and coffee. Kids gobbled up the banana bread and pancakes!
