Such an underrated cafe! It’s super peaceful and staff are really friendly! Portion sizes are huge - so worth what you pay for! And tasty too! I had the chicken parma (and the salad on the side had amazing dressing! I’m normally not a salad person but I finished this one!!)

Always has amazing food I've had the parma (big portion size), lamb grill (succulent lamb!!), carbonara pasta (to die for ) & chicken avocado pasta! Everything was equally as good. We keep coming back for their parma! And hands down they have the best cakes! So moist and lick your plate tasty!

Excellent in all respects. Fresh quality foods for a nourishing brunch or lunch or afternoon - and homemade cakes that are simply spectacular in taste and appearance. Reasonably priced. Staff are friendly and efficient. The cafe is spacious with pleasant relaxing decor. No problem with parking nearby. Definitely going back on my next visit to my old hometown of West Brunswick.

Had a bit of work to get done on a Sunday afternoon, the service was great, I enjoyed the food and they had the footy on the TV. A great cafe that I will definitely revisit when I'm next in Melbourne!

Came for the big breakfast and was not disappointed. The size of meals are amazing and the price was better then any cafe in my local area. Im coming back for my breakfasts here. Value for money and size of the meal was fantastic, you won't find this in Brunswick anymore. 10/10 you have gained yourself a regular customer. Especially excited to try their Parma one night for tea. Keep up the good pricing and massive servings guys.

Fast, friendly and well priced. Some great homemade options in the front counter and a well rounded menu. Big breakfast hits the spot. You can also grab a slice of cake! We tried the Oreo one and it was delicious. Parking can be hit and miss, a nearby street and a very short walk your best option.

Stumbled upon a new cafe on my walk this morning. They opened up last week (where the fish n chip shop used to be)! Was greeted by the lovely staff. They have a huge variety of sweet and savoury treats (baked fresh daily)! The owner happens to be the chef and he was very friendly! And I also asked about the cakes- you can order a whole cake for events if you call and order 1-2 days early ! I ordered takeaway beef& pork sausage roll, blueberry baked cheesecake and an iced oat latte! Everything was amazing- I just needed tomato sauce for my sausage roll which I grabbed from my own fridge. This place will be popular very soon!
