One of the best grilled fish I had in Canberra so far specially with salad and chips. Staff was friendly (Amber & Biren)and good customer service definitely recommended.

Coffee was great. Service exceptional. We bought cakes for take away, they took time to package and supplied serviettes, spoons and carry bag. Which doesn’t always happen in cafes. Very impressed.

I’ve tried a lot of ham burgers, but today’s one really stood out hamburger a lot— juicy, full of flavor, and made just right. Honestly, don’t just rely on online reviews — go try it yourself like I did. Sometimes the real experience is way better than what you read

Nice atmosphere, quiet and clean. Service was prompt and polite. Huge menu, we both had the Avacado dishes and were pleased with portion, taste and presentation. Coffee was great. Will come again.
