Ordering Strategy

The menu changes seasonally, so be open to trying their unique, ever-evolving twists on brunch classics. It's a small spot, so order a coffee while you wait for a table.

What to order

Safe first

Matcha & Cherry Brioche French Toast

Labeled a 'Must-Eat' by critics, this fluffy, matcha-infused brioche is paired with a cherry creme patissiere described as 'phenomenal,' 'rich,' and 'fantastically sharp.'

Hungry

Japanese Benedict

A 'feast for the eyes' that features a king prawn okonomiyaki base topped with sirloin steak 'cooked to perfection,' samphire, and a thick, rich XO hollandaise.

Wildcard

Green Tea Smoked Salmon

This unique option features salmon that is 'incredibly fresh and plentiful,' served on freshly baked bread with a vibrant, colorful beetroot hollandaise.

Wildcard

Dark Arts Flat White

Sourced from the local Dark Arts roastery, this 'smooth, rich, and balanced' coffee is strong enough to 'combat' a heavy night out and is a staple for local caffeine enthusiasts.

Good to know

The café is quite small and very popular, so expect to queue on weekends. They don't serve halal meat, but there are plenty of vegetarian options.
