Hidden Gem in the backstreets of Mawson Lakes. Had driven past a few times and always seen people inside or heading over to this cafe. Today I thought is the day to try new things....and boy was I not disappointed. Staff are very friendly, the food was great in both presentation and taste. Coffee was of a high standard and juice was quite a treat. For what we got.... Pricing is quite good. Would definitely go again.

I use to live 2mins away from this place so it was such a convenience for me. The food and coffee (best chia lattes ever) was great every time and their white chocolate muffins were to die for. I’ve moved away from the area now but still think of this place often as I enjoyed many brunches with the kids here. The cook is a bit grumpy but most are so don’t take it personally and she cooks a brilliant meal made with love so that’s all that matters. Gosh I miss this place!

Nice chic little local cafe in Mawson Lakes, interesting as they offer Mediterranean & Asian breakfast. Nice try but sad that both of what we order are a bit too salty for us to finish. Rest is good.

The food had no right to be this damn good. Both myself and my partner came in an hour before close and were politely welcomed regardless. We were amazed at how generous the portion sizes were, phenomenal value for money. Both the eggs benedict and Spanish baked eggs were fantastic. My partner also mentioned her mocha was one of the better ones she's had in recent memory. I truly believe this is a hidden gem in the Mawson Lakes area, definitely try if you get the chance.

I adore this cozy place on this lovely street. The food is dreamed-up and cooked by a woman who clearly truly loves her craft. Every dish I’ve tried has had thought and care behind it. Having a brand new, different special every weekend is so great. We’re very blessed to have a place like this in the Northern suburbs. One of my favourites in Adelaide.
