    Very fresh, home style food. Had house made blueberry soda, pulled pork poke bowl with green rice and house chips. Friendly service with a community vibe.

    The service was very very slow. There clearly weren't enough staff on duty. The young man who served us was lovely but he was run off his feet. The place needs more staff!

    A cosy hidden cafe in Northcote. One would pass and not notice if it was not for the outside seating area. A rustic cafe offering a good variety of fresh breakfast menu. Staff are welcoming,friendly with a smile and wanting to ensure you have a good experience in their business. Only thing in my opinion only is to produce/provide a fraction stronger tastier coffee with the latte making. Lots of peope,lots of character. A good experience.
