How we read reviews →Elsternwick's aesthetically stunning brunch cafe with a secret garden courtyard and consistently great coffee.
Beautifully designed interior with warm, Moroccan-influenced character. reviewers describe it as stunning, aesthetic, and unlike anything else on Glen Huntly Road. Inside seating is cosy but can feel tight in the front section. The highlight is a hidden rear courtyard with greenery hanging from the roof: an unexpected tranquil escape from a busy commercial strip. Music is ambient and not too loud.
Rear courtyard garden that surprises visitors. not visible from the street and frequently called a hidden gem within the hidden gem. Can be booked for private functions. The cafe also does catering and has an eclectic menu that goes beyond standard brunch fare: Vietnamese prawn baguette, calamari chilli scramble, and beef brisket bagel all signal a more adventurous kitchen vision. Previously had a standout manager/barista (Shaul) who drove much of the loyal repeat trade.
Not applicable. modern Australian cafe with eclectic international menu influences.
Priced at the higher end for the area. some reviewers find it expensive (extras charged separately, surcharges on weekends). Most regulars consider the generous portions and food quality to justify the spend. A minority find it overpriced.
