Cute, small hidden gem in the local streets of Kew! It’s got limited seating indoors - it’s cosy, but there’s also some outdoor spots too. Toasties are their thing, but they also have some nice breaky/brunch options too. I couldn’t find a way to book beforehand so my friend and I just walked in on a Sunday morning around 10:30. It was easy enough to find a spot but I reckon if weather picks up and people go out more, it will be harder to get one! I ordered an oat latte, then the smashed avo with poached eggs. My friend had the chilli scramble with addition of hashbrowns. Everything was filling and fresh! Staff were also really attentive and really warm! They had some nice pastries and cookies in the display too - if you just want a sweet treat. Parking is local street parking. Easy enough!

Hidden in the suburban streets of Kew. A lovely cafe serving aromatic coffee and a new all day brunch menu. Been here for brunch and also several times for takeaway coffee. Great place. Mushroom Bruschetta Kupid Fritters Avocado Toast Chilli Scramble Egg Benny Baked Eggs Southern Fried Chicken Burger American Style Burger Berry Pancakes Latte Morning Glory Smoothie Berry Bliss Smoothie Peanut Bonanza Smoothie Blue Heaven Thick Shake My favourite dishes are the mushroom bruschetta, which had aromas of truffle and the chilli scrambled eggs which was packed with flavour and spice. Definitely recommend for a scrumptious brunch & coffee/smoothie

Check out this lil cafe in kew We ordered: Chili Scramble - scrambled eggs, red and green chili, spring onion, shallots on multigrain bread (highly recommended) The eggs were really light and fluffy! Kupid fritters - Corn and zucchini fritters, rocquette, tomato relish, bacon and poached eggs. The fritters have a crunchy texture outside and are really tasty inside. Served with bacon and perfectly poached eggs - kids approved! Southern Fried Chicken Burger - Homemade marinated chicken, coleslaw, sriracha mayo served with chips. The burger is good value, it's huge! The chicken is marinated with a special secret mix of asian-fusion flavours. Recommended. Berry pancakes - Mix berry compote, mascarpone, ice cream and maple syrup.This is a perfect sweet ending! Latte was perfectly brewed, we loved it. Everything tasted incredible, the vibe is relaxing, charming and enjoyable to be in. We chose the window seat overlooking the streets so we can see the doggies walking pass. Staffs are extremely friendly and attentive. Although it's a small cafe, it's family friendly. The prices are very reasonable with quality good food. If you are in the area, highly recommend you to check out this little gem.

A pretty great local spot. Service was a little shonky but the cafe was slammed and it's a tiny venue. To that note we were warned about a 20 minute wait for our food but it ended up being 40. So my advice would be avoid if you're in a rush and it's busy. Other than that. Coffee was good, they use Inglewood beans. Food was solid, for the price I'd maybe expect a little bit more going on in terms of complexity or execution but it was otherwise a tasty meal. 4/5
