AI Summary

Geelong's Asian-fusion brunch gem with a dog-friendly courtyard

A relaxed, cosy cafe on Pakington Street with three distinct spaces. a street-facing interior, a sheltered indoor room, and an alfresco courtyard with a kids' playground and dog-friendly zone. Warm and welcoming with a laid-back vibe; heaters keep the courtyard comfortable in cooler months.

Private function and event hire available for the courtyard. baby showers, birthday parties, and group celebrations are catered for with drinks packages and custom menus. Dedicated dog menu. Kids' play area in the back courtyard. Complimentary still and sparkling water on tap. Happy Hour offered at dinner. 10% Sunday surcharge applies.

Modern Asian fusion with deliberate influences from Japanese (katsu, sando), Indonesian (rendang, sambal), Vietnamese (banh mi), and Korean cooking woven into a recognisable Australian cafe format. Not a single-cuisine specialist but authentically inspired.

Main dishes sit around $26. mixed sentiment on value. Many reviewers find the quality justifies the price; a minority feel portions could be more generous for the cost. Coffee and baked goods are broadly seen as excellent value.
