Have been coming here for over 2 years now and by FAR the best bottomless we have ever done! The food, incredible! The staff, beyond perfect! You always make us feel so special. If you've never checked this place out, what are you doing? pop by now - Love Ben and Nikita

We came here spontaneously since the cafe we went to around the corner didn’t have kitchen food. Lovely surprise to walk into, gorgeous atmosphere, love the vibes of the cafe, super laidback I got the house granola and coconut yoghurt which was really solid in terms of presentation, taste and texture! We also ordered the salmon Benedict, first time I’ve seen a salmon Benedict with cooked salmon but it was still lovely.

Went here for bottomless brunch ($65.00/head) on the weekend and it was a great experience (minus the raining cats and dogs!). In terms of meal choice, you need to pick two small plates or one large plate. I enjoyed my beef bowl apart from the coleslaw (bit random and it didn't really complement the overall flavours in the bowl). I would order the bowl again but without the coleslaw. The red wine sangria was such a hit for me. I was pleasantly surprised as I've had really bad red wine sangria (in Mexico of all places) and so I was really glad I gave it a try with intervals of the prosecco. I also really liked the risotto balls. Pleasant staff and the sitting was decent. I'd totally go back (bottomless or not) as I'd like to try the brekkie menu.

Bottomless brunch was in full force lunchtime Saturday and it looked and sounded like everyone was enjoying themselves. Cool to see their themed outfits & good vibes. If only we were child free ;) Had booked ahead so a booth on the quiet side was ready for our group if 5+1. The Pork Bao Buns and the Panko Chicken Soft Taco's came out on top - excellent presentation, tasty and well balanced (so I was told). Steak was cooked just as we ordered. With the smoked salmon benedict bowl, daughter's fav bit was the hollandaise & crispy potato's. The salmon was okay but she said a bit dry - its salmon though so yummy either way. The poached eggs were just right, firm outside and runny yoke. Top service as soon as we arrived until leaving. Attentive and friendly team. Cheers!

We were literally eating, drinking and laughing in there. The environment is so well-designed and has got chill vibes. The food is really delicious and the waitress told us that the food comes fast which she was not lying. The service is also really nice and not too much, my girl said she wants to come back again.

Had a very lovely time here in this place tucked away in the corner!! Came by for a drink with a friend during happy hour and it was not too busy which was quite nice. The ambience is great and the set up looks very clean but homely. We just ordered drinks and a small share plate. The bao buns were pretty tasty - not out of this world, but good :) The staff were also very friendly and accommodating. This could be my new place to go for a catch up, would highly recommend!
