This is the BEST chicken sourdough I've ever had in brisbane!! I asked the kind and friendly staffs to swap the smoked salmon for chicken breast on the sourdough and it was such a wonderful surprise - absolutely stunning🥹. The chicken was so juicy & tender, and the poached egg blended perfectly with the crispy, chewy sourdough and creamy labneh. I also had a chicken bagel for takeaway, which was perfectly toasted and outstandingly aromatic. The filling and sauces were still incredible, though it was a little salty overall. Beyond the amazing food, the chef and all of the staff were very attentive, providing an exceptionally warm service ☺️♡.

A fabulous coffee shop hidden along an alley 20 metres from busy Elizabeth St in the heart of the city. We were welcomed cordially by staff, immediately with a bottle of water and glasses on the table. The Kassandra Rainforest Alliance beans were very flavoursome in my flat white and the staff allowed us to share a delicious halloumi, avocado and fried egg bagel by bring each half on seperate plates with knives and forks. Great service and good discovery

The food was fine not the best salmon toast I’ve had, as it lacked a bit of flavor, but still okay. Maybe it would’ve been better with some extra toppings, but I expected a bit more. I also had a chai latte, which unfortunately wasn’t great, it didn’t taste like chai at all. That said, the staff were super friendly and welcoming, and the rest of the menu looked really good. I’d definitely come back to try other options, as they seemed much more appealing.

We stopped in for an early breakfast, and had a great experience. The food was very good, the service was good also. But keep in mind they get pretty busy so expect a little wait. There is limited seating inside but they do have some tables in the alleyway. My wife said this is the best earl gray tea she has had since we have been in Brisbane.
