Really nice cappuccinos at this cafe. Some cafes make their coffees too milky but this place knows how to make a coffee where the taste cuts through. I recommend it highly.

It was pleasant enough sitting outside and the coffee and milkshakes were very good but it all felt a little bit uninspired today. For example, I’ve definitely had better bacon/egg burgers here before and I think that it would help with the atmosphere of the place if they had the tables set up to make it inviting in some way.

Lovely staff served one of the best iced matchas we’ve ever had. Also helped me to get water and clean up a spill I made. There is also a nice outdoor seating area. Thank you!

Me and my coworkers come here on a daily basis sometimes more than twice. The coffee is just some of the best around Sydney the staff welcoming. And you can get some good food as well. Especially the way they do their sourdough with some butter on the outside… hmmmm yum thanks Oni and Mel and Lyn!

This place opens at 7am and it’s close to the Darling that’s part of the Star. There aren’t a lot of seats but if you go early you should be able to get some seats. So I wouldn’t recommend if you have more than 4. What I recommend is their Apple turnover. Soft and creamy yet not too sweet I ordered a coffee too but that didn’t leave any impression in particular. There isn’t a lot of choice of dessert though compared to other establishments but will certainly go back.
