I work nearby and come here daily — I’ve pretty much eaten my way through the entire menu! I absolutely love this place. There’s a great variety of lunch and breakfast options, the coffee is consistently excellent, and the food is always fresh and full of flavour. My all-time favourite has to be the toasted Reuben sandwich — it’s incredible, and such good value. I’ve noticed a few comments about pricing, but honestly, I think some people are out of touch with the realities of running a business in this economy. Considering the quality, freshness, and the variety of both heathy and delicious options on offer aswell as the love and care put into each meal, I think the prices are more than fair. This place is a gem.

The benchmark for a coffee shop is a long black - no hiding a bad shot behind the milk. Martin's long blacks are next level, and the avo on sourdough is pretty damn tasty also. Highly recommend this Cafe.

Today I had a rather indulgent lunch with the team at the wonderful Mad Kitchen & Co. Fantastic schnitty burger and some of the best chippies ive had in a long time. All for less than $20. Thanks to the wonderful hosts Martin Drakos and Amalia Drakos for me only needing lunch today. Still full.

This spot near our office has quickly become a favourite amongst the team. The food is always fresh, full of flavour, and consistently delicious (especially the ‘make-your-own-sandwhiches)! The owners are so nice and welcoming, and it’s clear they take pride in what they do. A great go-to for a quality lunch and friendly service.
