How we read reviews →St Kilda's chef-run café with the best matcha in the area and food that genuinely surprises
Light, airy and modern with a bench looking onto a leafy St Kilda East street. Lively during peak hours. expect a buzz and possibly a short wait. but warm and welcoming throughout. The fit-out is fresh, clean and contemporary, with alfresco seating as an escape from the indoor energy.
Pantry wall selling market grocery items to take home; pre-prepared meals and takeaway lasagna; in-house baked cakes; BYO; dog-friendly outdoor seating; chef-owner hands-on daily in the kitchen
Modern Australian café format with no specific national cuisine focus. the menu is creative and fresh rather than ethnically grounded.
Mostly excellent value for the quality delivered. most dishes are affordable for a quality independent café. Occasional items are priced on the higher end (noted by one reviewer), but the quality-to-price ratio earns strong and consistent praise.
