Huge portions, but the food is nothing to write home about. I keep coming back for the Snickers thickshake, though, definitely worth the $6.

The jazz group they have on a saturday are amazing, a must see. This makes this a top location for chilling with snacks and a beer.

Went there today, took a group of 8. Very bad wait staff, rude, even approaching aggressive at one point. Breakfasts came out, the sausages were refrigerator, cold. They don't appear to be able to handle the basics, although it was fairly busy at the time. Still, none of us will return or recommend this place.

Had cake and a hot drink here the other night and the waiter spent the time explaining all the different cakes on offer, they look great. I chose a banana cake and it was stale! no other way to say it folks, the reason why I got a little peeved was it was so expensive $9 a piece. The hot drinks were just the right temperature and the girl serving them was more than pleasant, so I guess the greedy senior staff is the one who should be taking responsibility for this mishap.

One of our favourite places to eat in Newtown for simple, hearty meals. The portions are huge so you're definitely getting value for money. Special mention goes to the lamb shank which my flatmate couldn't stop eating and almost made her explode with yumminess. In my opinion the only downside is having to go outside to use the loos.

Worst nachos ever! Huge and bland with many layers of chips, very strange chilli/meat mix and tasteless discoloured guac. Service is ok. Frappes ect nice enough. But food very average, mine was horrible and the friends I dined with not much better.

Went today for a late afternoon lunch. Ordered the lamb burger which was sensational with chilli jam and fetta cheese. Service was ok, however, when the waiter knocks your fork off the table and says he will replace it, you'd expect him to follow up, he never returned.

We have a really bad experience with this place, awful customer service, rude to the customer. The coffee was ok though. We will never recommend this coffee shop anymore to people who like good atmosphere with great customer service

Nice little jewel of Newtown. Decent breakfast, nothing fancy, just good wholesome food. Coffee is also decent. I have been here a number of times (breakfast only though) and have had no problems with ambience or service. Can get busy at times (especially weekends, but that's normal really). This is a no fuss decent cafe.

Not one of my usual haunts, nevertheless was starving on King St the other weekend and this was the first place we walked past. There were tables free and I remembered I had quite a decent breakfast here a few years back... worth a shot?

Big mistake... service although friendly was not particularly prompt or great. Breakfast when served was awful. The satay burger used sauce from a can (my girlfriend reckoned she could pick the brand) and soggy iceberg lettuce. The ham-cheese-tomato omelette was soggy and offensive to the taste buds, a great deal of salt and pepper was required to barely mask the taste of cheap cheese and straight from the packet, perfectly round ham. The coffee was bitter and watery. All this may be perfectly acceptable fare when you're cooking for yourself at home but I don't call my kitchen a cafe.

To her credit the perfectly hostess did enquire as to why we had not finished our coffee, and when told it was undrinkable it was stricken from our bill (much to the barista's horror we observed). We didin't have the heart to say anything about the food at the time.
