Reviews
"Completely unexpected! Second we walked in, we were warmly welcomed and seated. The vibe is so on point - plants to die for and taller than normal toilets, perfect for my ol knees!! Food, although pricey worth every single penny!! Not the biggest fan of the coffee, rather bitter but still very accommodating to all. 10/10 would recommend and Emma, you were amazing!"
"It’s definitely a must-try brunch place in Ballarat! The ambience is cozy and the staff are very helpful and friendly. We had the chili scramble egg which the croissant is crispy and the scramble egg is just smooth and tasty. The chili oil and sour cream are perfect match for the scramble egg. The egg benedict is also incredible. I really love the crunchy hash brown that replaces the usual toast."
"Fantastic atmosphere and delightful, attentive staff. We each loved our brekkie boards and I appreciate that it comes in several options such as vegan and dairy-free. Food was well presented and absolutely delish! We left feeling full and very happy with our meal. We went on Saturday morning and it was very busy so I highly recommend pre-booking online to avoid disappointment."
"Had a gorgeous mother's day lunch, couldn't fault the staff for the chaos of the joint. They did such a great job handling the full house. The food was delicious and well presented. I had the chilli scrambled and was blown away. The coffees were lovely, hot and not burnt at all"
