One of my favourite coffee stops in Caulfield. Great variety of breakfast and lunch snacks, very reasonable prices for good sized portions. It's pretty tiny inside, but very friendly welcoming staff and cozy atmosphere. It's definitely a very local community cafe, definitely recommend if you are in the area.

A delightful little cafe with cheerful & friendly staff. We enjoyed an afternoon coffee & lunch there - my cold brew coffee was delicious, and despite the eggs being a little overdone in my eggs benedict it was tasty. I loved how the barista interacted with my 3 year old, and she seemed to know all her regular customers by name.

Small place but packs a lot of punch. It’s very popular with the locals and when you get there you know why. The staff are attentive, quick and efficient, knowing almost all the customers by name! On-street parking is touch and go sometimes, but there’s plenty of spaces in nearby streets.

The Chicken, Bacon and Avocado Wrap was so delicious, and a great price too. The staff were very polite and did whatever they could do to accomodate for customer requests. I certainly hope I have another opportunity to visit here soon.
