Relatively big, unfussy spot with an interesting coffee menu. Lovely looking pastries and cookies. The menu looks great too - I had the magic mushrooms dish, but there were many appealing choices like the three bears porridge and sweet frenchie. Staff very friendly. Solid all-day brunch coffee place vibe. I recommend it.

Stumbled upon by accident, now it’s my brunch favourite. Discovered this gem when Braddon was oddly quiet one day, and I’ve been hooked since. The space is fresh and calming with greenery, white walls, and soft, curvy nooks set the perfect brunch mood. The menu hits all the right notes, with beautiful plating and bold flavours. Plant-based? The chef’s happy to customise dishes for vegan or vegetarian needs. Favourites on repeat: Green Chilli Eggs, Magic Mushrooms, and Avocado Affairs. A feast for the senses, and the camera.

The atmosphere is friendly, and the cafe has a huge space where is great for both groups and solo visitors. Be warned: the lunch portions are huge! I couldn't finish my pasta and had to take it home. Excellent service tops it all off; the front staff greet you with big, genuine smiles. Highly recommended!

We met for lunch with friends, so we couldn’t order a wide variety of menu items. We kept it simple with a chai latte, hot chocolate, carrot cake, and a chicken sandwich. The sandwich turned out to be unexpectedly delicious. Although it was called a “Chicken Lettuce Sandwich,” it actually included spinach, zucchini, and roasted capsicum. It was so tasty! The carrot cake, while enjoyable in taste, unfortunately did not feel as fresh as it should have been. It carried an unusual aftertaste, somewhat reminiscent of refrigerant, which detracted from the overall experience. One of our friends arrived late and, feeling quite thirsty, opted for a refreshing drink. On the staff’s recommendation, she tried orange juice with an added shot of espresso. The combination was unique and refreshing, though it may be a polarizing choice for some. Our friend, however, thoroughly enjoyed it. Overall, despite a minor shortcoming with the dessert, the quality of the food and beverages, along with the thoughtful recommendations from the staff, left a positive impression. We look forward to returning in the future.

An amazing cafe. We ate breakfast here for three days straight on our recent trip to Canberra. The service was extremely warm and friendly, the coffee amazing and the food beyond delicious and impeccably presented. Had 3 different meals over the three days and I'm hard pressed to find a favourite. They were all extremely tasty. From the menu we had the East roll, eggs Benedict and the French toast. Its no exaggeration when I say it's probably the best French toast I've ever had, both in taste and presentation. Kids had the porridge and loved it. Ive marked this spot and it will be a mandatory go-to for any future Canberra trips!
