Food is tasty and generously portioned. It's lovely sitting in a cafe surrounded by cute homewares and gifts. Coffee is not that great though.

Good food, generous portions and what a lovely place to sit and chat with friends. Full of interesting pieces of furniture and homewares to look at when the conversation slows.

Fabulous cafe. I loved the eclectic mix of furniture, flowers and giftware. I had lemon and ginger tea, no teabag here, it came on a board with a dish each of freshly grated ginger, lemon and honey, along with a black cast iron teapot. Charming! And the bucket of sweet potato chips that accompanied my burger were delicious. Well done! I'll be back.

Mmmm... Very disappointed. Have been there twice, first time was lovely, great salad, decent serve, lovely chai tea. Second visit - ate the same salad, and it was half the size, you needed a microscope to find the goat's cheese, and i would have paid half the price for it. Service was shocking, took about half an hour to queue up and order. At 12.30, peak lunch hour, they had already run out of bagels, and we received burnt toast instead. Wrote a letter telling them of my disappointment, and over a week later, never received a response - reflective of the place. Will not visit again.

Amongst the mountain of local Cafes across Sydney, this is near the peak. Get the skin on chips, you won't regret it.

A great addition to Mona Vale's growing cuisine culture. Very good food, friendly service and great coffee. Can get busy on weekend mornings, but worth the wait which is usually only short.

I have been here for breakfast and lunch on many occasions, food is quite nice, portions are good, price may be a little high.

The location is lovely specially on a nice sunny day. The furniture and atmosphere is great and I can't help but walk around and look at all the trinkets and homewares for sale everytime I visit. A pleasant place to meet friends for a drink or meal, however, it can get very busy, especially sat/sun, expect to wait to be seated if you choose to go before 12 pm.

Overall a nice and unique experience, My recommendation, you should try at least once with an open mind.

They don't take bookings so had to stand around and wait 40 minutes for a table for our group. I would have been happy to leave but others wanted to try it. Place was very busy but I can't see why. I guess people are too lazy to go elsewhere. Breakfast selection was quite limited. Would I go back...no!
