Pretty gréât sélection of breakfast items and we especially loved the bimbimbap for breakfast. Nice and healthy. The food is very generously laid out and perhaps is overly generous. I wouldn’t mind paying the same price for a little less food, as we struggled to finish our dishes. Turmeric latte was great, except it was a bit too sweet for me. Would love for the wonderfully friendly staff to consider putting on more unique items on the menu- perhaps more Korean items (as it seems to be their strength)

Very friendly owners serving a combination of cafe classics (think burgers, wraps) along Korean dishes. Great value for money.

We started our brunch with coffee and jasmine tea. Coffee was great. Then we ordered Bibim Bab from their all day menu and Avocado stack. Both were great. Specially Bibim Bab was very tasty with great choice of ingredients. Service was friendly and we got the food instantly.

I have to give these guys a shout out. The food is fresh and tasty, the portions are generous and the price is right. I’ll be back to try the breakfast, but it’s a lunch winner, that’s for sure.

Phenomenal burger! I ordered the spicy chicken burger with added beef patty. Loved every minute of every bite. The chips were thin and crispy and evenly salted. Great experience, would definitely recommend and will be coming back!

The fit-out was a bit outdated, but they’ve got lots of outdoor seating so it’s good to sit outside on a sunny day (watch out for the sneaky birdies, though). My partner really enjoyed his oat mocha and the omelette plate. I could tell my egg Benedict was made with fresh ingredients, however, the overly rich hollandaise sauce was a bit of a disappointment. Overall a good place for a not fussed brunch.

It was perfect weekend breakkie. Corn fritter was really good. It tastes thick and filled, unlike other cafe. Pancake was fantastic. Very fluffy, soft and biggggg. And they made it fresh, even better. Coffee was absolutely good. Best coffee in Sydney. Highly recommend this cafe.
