Feb 17, 2026"Great coffee. A large coffee with Bonsoy milk, only $4. I couldn't believe it. I usually pay $5.00 - $6.00 even in the western suburbs. I had 'Pumpkin & baked brussel sprouts curry'. I liked it because it was more like warm salad; creamy and with lovely subtle curry flavour."

Feb 11, 2026"the BEST noodle salad i’ve ever had, so fresh and high standard ingredients. very cozy cafe with great ice lattes and good prices."

Feb 11, 2026"Ordered a pie, asked for it slightly warm, not usual- slightly. The guy repeats, “Yep, slightly.” Then nukes it for 57 hours. I ask, “Still slightly warm, yeah?” - “Yep, slightly, nearly done!” Finally get it back, it’s boiling. I go, “that’s not slightly warm.” Another bloke says, “Oh, by Victorian law, pies must match the temperature of the sun, so next time just get it completely cold “. What a legend"
