Smooth coffee, I like the selection of beans and milks. The brunch dishes are amazing too, especially the seafood linguine.

The most friendly and welcoming staff, great service and best chai lattes. The team there always put a smile on my face - always look forward to seeing them. I have worked in North Sydney for over 6 years and have tried my fair share of cafes around here. I come here every day now, but distinctly recall them remembering my usual take away order after only being there 2 times - Bonus points for that! Have noticed this many times with others, so you can tell they pay attention and care about their customers. Keep up the great work!

Guess what! This café in North Sydney is one of my top two favorites. The staff is friendly, and they serve good coffee. I’ve noticed that it’s more affordable than other cafés, and they also have plenty of seating available.

The guys there are hillarious, and super friendly. Every time I go there, they always crack me up and make my day. The coffee too is good, better than anywhere else in this area.
