Think this could be our new favourite! Love the unique cosy atmosphere. Imagine you’re visiting your Grandmas house but it’s filled to the brim with soft, fluffy baked goods and top-notch laffare coffee!! The service was great, and all our warmed up pastries arrived super quickly. Overall such a pleasant experience, highly recommend!

Delicious food. Lovely staff. Bustling atmosphere. Would recommend. I had a rhubarb custard brioche, sausage roll, and a cappuccino. All spectacular.

Such a cute little café in a cool suburb! There's usually a queue outside on weekends. It's always closed when I walk past in the late afternoon during the week because they close early. So, I was thrilled to actually get inside, have a seat, and experience what this café is all about on a weekday morning. Lovely cabinet food and soft music. A very cozy place. No wonder it's so popular with the locals. You can sense the local vibe in there. I enjoyed their breakfast egg brioche and a latte. Then I had to rush out. I wish I could have spent more time in this cozy place. I'd love to come back and try more of their food.
