I've been buying coffee and a quick bite to eat at this cafe for years and it has always been an enjoyable experience. A few weeks ago I had a very bad experience with the staff on duty. Consequently, I thought it was necessary to post a review detailing my bad experience. I'm very pleased to advise the cafe owner has reached out to me and apologised for the behaviour of the staff at the time. The owner was not aware of the situation and has now returned to manage the day to day operations. I couldn't ask for anything more and have therefore adjusted my review. Thank you Nathan.

This is always my stop when waiting for my girls at their dance workshops. They don't have a kitchen but they have good fresh food and I love their coffee. The sitting area is for general public seating plus has power points, phone charge stations and wifi so it's great for both community meetups and some out of office working for the day.

Fantastic little place in Prahran food court. Seb in particular does an amazing coffee and I’m here every day to grab one prior to the gym. 5 star.
