A Hidden Gem with Outstanding Food and Warm Service! Absolutely loved our visit here! The food was fresh, vibrant, and beautifully plated — just look at these dishes! The roasted pumpkin salad was a standout with its generous portion of caramelised pumpkin, kale, chickpeas, and crunchy lotus chips — delicious and hearty. The chicken quinoa bowl was equally impressive, packed with flavour and topped with a perfectly poached egg, avocado, edamame, and grilled greens. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. It’s clear they care about both the food and their customers. Highly recommend this cafe for a relaxed, wholesome brunch or lunch. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Recently ordered lunch for our office (10 people) the food was ready quickly and was absolutely delicious. Everyone said they were so happy to have this cafe on the same street as our office. It’s definitely going to be our new regular place for coffees, bagels and lunch! The menu is great with all day style brunch and lunch options. I loved the zucchini fritters! Edited to add photo of the Eggs Benedict (from my 3rd time back)

Tried their grilled chicken sandwich and grilled veggie sandwich. Both were great. Loved how they grilled their pumpkin to perfection as it was soft but not burnt. Definitely recommend this cafe!

From the moment you walk in, Mina, part owner, greets you with such warmth and friendliness that you instantly feel at home. She genuinely cares about her customers and goes out of her way to make sure everyone leaves happy. The food is absolutely amazing—fresh, full of flavor, and made with so much love. What makes it even better is that everything is so affordable without compromising on quality. Whether you’re after a quick coffee, a hearty meal, or just a cozy spot to relax, this café has it all. It’s not just the food and prices that make this place special, but the overall atmosphere. You can really feel the heart and passion Mina has put into creating a welcoming space for everyone. Highly, highly recommend this café—definitely a hidden gem worth visiting again and again! Mina thank you for best Matcha Cake it was definitely made with L O V E .

Friday morning brunch at this cute cafe in the Norwest (Sydney)! I was in the area and during my Google search this cafe was recommended. I tried the breakfast and coffee. The coffee was nice but could be a bit stronger. The avocado smash was delicious. The bread was so soft and had a very balanced flavor. The total meal cost was under $25. I recommend visiting; the staff is very polite and customer service-focused! #Brunch #Cafe #Breakfast #Coffee #Sydney #Food #Avocado #Bread #Staff #CustomerService
