Fantastic first visit here with my sister Angela Very cool interior space that has such a unique vibe and layout. The art pieces scattered throughout are visually attractive coupled with the fast and professional service Super impressed with the owner and staff and will be recommending stopping in as a preferred place of choice for coffee operators
The Māori That Bikes (Maori That Bikes), 6 months agoBrilliant coffee and fantastic atmosphere. Food was delicious and the poached eggs on toast were cooked to perfection.
Mara Balcombe, 6 months agoExcellent coffee / barista's skill. Hot, creamy, good acidity & depth, beautiful crema. Surprisingly large comes in a mug which is a nice touch and very reasonably priced. The downside is the mug / water glass smell of egg ( probably from being washed in the same load with dishes?) Amazing food. Corner location just by tram track invites both locals and tourists. Ample seatings in & out. Nice chill vibe with good piped music in the background. Friendly smiley staff.
