  • The brown butter with condensed milk shokupan was amazing! The brown butter gives it a gentle, softened taste and the condensed milk a harmonising sweetness. Bread was amazingly toasted and equal in taste. 5/5

  • If ever there were a 5-star brunch place, this would be it. I ordered the congee and the oyster mushroom benedict – both were absolutely terrific. The flavours were fresh and well-balanced, and the presentation was spot on. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommended if you’re in Footscray!

  • I absolutely love this place! The coffee is outstanding, and the banana bread is the best in Melbourne in my opinion. It's delicious! The atmosphere is warm and relaxed, even when it's busy, with a lovely leafy outdoor dining area.

  • Takeaway orders out front, so you don't have to deal with the crowd. Courtyard and indoors, heaps of seating, all full of people. Atmosphere was relaxing and upbeat, staff super available, food, drink, and coffee were great and fast. - Oat Magic was strong, which I loved. So many places make it weak. This was the best I've had for a long time. - Potato, Leak and Samorza Croquettes were incredible. Super interesting mix of flavours and textures. No downsides. 5-Stars

  • A gorgeous little cafe hidden away in the suburbs. The staff are super friendly and whilst I only had their coffee, which was excellent, the brunch food others were eating looked phenomenal. Really enjoyed sitting outside in the sun as well.
