How we read reviews →Elsternwick's tiny cafe where chef-owner Richie serves Vietnamese pho, banh mi, and standout coffee.
A tiny, community-driven neighbourhood cafe, warm and chatty, built around chef-owner Richie greeting regulars by name.
Off-menu 'surprise me' dishes cooked to order by chef-owner Richie, plus bookable private dinners; dog-friendly, with free WiFi and power points for working.
Chef-owner Richie's mother contributes home-style Vietnamese dishes, and reviewers specifically credit the pho and Vietnamese coffee as standouts.
Reviewers consistently call it affordable and great value for the quality, especially the coffee and rice bowls, though sandwiches sit at a higher price point.
