What we're known for

A few of the things guests keep coming back for. Come in and find the rest.

Smashed Avo and Feta

Smashed on sourdough with Persian fetta, a poached egg, and hollandaise that pools in the right places.

Seafood Linguine

Creamy, golden, loaded with prawns and cherry tomatoes, finished with fresh rocket.

Acai Bowl

A generous bowl of blended acai with fresh fruit and a drizzle of honey.

Big Breakfast

Scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, greens, beans, and a hash brown: the kind of plate that makes the day feel sorted.

Risotto

Guests call it stunning every time, served in a bowl that looks as good as it tastes.

Veggie Burger

Made to order by the kitchen with care for what goes between the bun.

Sweet Pancakes

A stack with fresh strawberries, blueberries, banana, and icing sugar, with maple syrup on the side.

Waffle with Berries

Golden waffle with strawberries, blueberries, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and chocolate sauce.

Club Sandwich and Chips

A triple-layered sandwich with a generous side of fries, served on a dark plate.

Egg and Bacon Roll

Simple, generous, and done properly: crispy bacon, a well-cooked egg, and bread that holds together.

Zest Coffee

Consistently praised: flat whites, lattes, and cappuccinos made with Zest beans, in the cafe's signature teal cups.

Iced Chocolate

The kind that actually tastes like chocolate, served cold in a glass with fresh ingredients.
