The scrambled eggs came as a egg and spinach omelette which is not what I was expecting Or wanting with a while chilli on top rather than mixed through. Not horrible not great. The florentine was again quite bland and came with a hair and egg shell it in. This place could be great just needs to pay more attention to detail and get a little more flavour in the meal or at least salt and pepper on the table. Coffee wasn't horrible but again not great. Maybe a everything was a little rushed? I'm leaving felling full but not satisfied

Also perfect for take aways if you prefer to drink on the go. Monkey business is my hot tip! Can't go wrong with banana + coconut + almond milk!

I'm definitely a fan of the fresh and delicious (albeit pricey) offerings. I've had the passionfruit, strawberry, banana, and granola yogurt, as well as the chia yogurt pudding and the acai bowl, and everything has been just delicious! The yogurt they offer is thick, sour, and unsweetened, so the fresh fruit makes for the perfect pairing. The acai bowl has a base of a refreshing acai blend, and it's all topped with freshly sliced strawberries, bananas, blueberries, granola, and coconut shreds! Things here may seem pricey but are certainly delicious, convenient, and of good quality. I'm a fan!

This place is one of those nice crowd-pleaser places with a pleasant atmosphere and a big menu with…read morepizzas, burgers, pasta, risottos, all-day breakfast, etc. They have a range of vegetarian options and also have clearly-marked vegan and gluten-free options on their menu. It's not all about eating here, either -- it's perfectly normal to just come here with a big group for some drinks. They have an extensive cocktail, wine and beer selection. Their vegan options for dinner are the Lemongrass & Coconut Curry and the Ancient Grains Salad. Both sounded delicious but it was a cold, wintery night so I went with the warm curry, and I'm so glad I did. The flavours were interesting and pretty exotic for what we initially assumed was a meat-potatoes-and-pasta kind of venue! The curry was basically quinoa, potato, cauliflower, chickpeas, carrots, and greens in a nice light curry sauce with pita bread and half a lime. The lime was a good idea -- squeezing it over the meal definitely improved the flavour. I also had an alcoholic ginger beer that was delicious. I went with a relatively large group (maybe ten or so of us), and kind of late at night on a Friday after drinks. This place is great for large groups -- the service was fast and efficient, and the food came out quickly given the size of our group and at such a late hour. The venue's spacious as well, so we didn't feel cramped. I was the only vegan -- the others in the group almost unanimously went for burgers and pizza -- but everyone looked at my meal jealously and asked me what it was! And my partner (who got the regular burger) tried my vegan curry and liked it better than his burger. I had to fight him off because he kept snitching food off my plate. Vegan meal for the win! Price-wise, everything seemed reasonable, basically in the $17-24 range for mains, which is in line with this type of place (part gastro-pub, part Italian restaurant, part brunch cafe). I'd like to go back and try their vegan breakfast options on a weekend morning. The interior is stylish and brightly lit. Our waiter was a little brusque, but the cashier lady was super nice. I would definitely go back. Happy to see places like this with clearly-marked vegan options on the menu!

It's a great hidy hole that has little room inside and leaves you wondering how the staff function in such a small space.

I'm a creature of habit so I go for the vego bagel and still get a silly grin on my face each time I see the old Golden Book menu. Love this place, and it's top of my 'day after the night before' brunch list when staying in the city. Unleash your inner hipster and come try it out.

NOTES: ~ Don't fret if you're new to bubble tea or Asian…read moredrinks in general. They have a pretty good little diagram of how to place an order and choose your flavours. ~ Do not come to this place for actual food. It just serves Asian drinks. But thankfully because of the location you can just order a drink and hit an actual food shop nearby. If you have no idea what to order, I personally recommend the Honeydew Milk-Tea, which they are consistently good with. The downside is, this is one of the smaller Bubble Cup locations, so their menu does not have much variety. Grab-and-go safe? Check! They make their drinks really quickly, instantly if you order something simple. I would order my Honeydew Milk-Tea, pay, and then it comes out so there is pretty much 0 wait (maybe a maximum of about 30 seconds)! I would definitely come here again... and again... and again... for my fix on my favourite drink. It would help if this establishment ups the variety of their menu though to be a bit more inclusive of all tastebuds!

We visited on one of their quieter days, and although it was almost empty when we arrived, about half the tables quickly filled up with patrons visiting for a mix of coffees and pastries (Also made by Wide Open Road), or breakfast. It's a simple, clean fit out and works well for laid back brunches or a calm environment for a business meeting. There are a range of tables, including two well suited for larger groups. The menu comes in roughly two parts- there's your more traditional breakfast options - free range eggs, avocado, pikelets, porridge, fritters etc. and then there's Bowls or Broths, which are definitely going to become Terror Twilight's trademark. There's a lot to love about them - they're healthy, full of flavour, fresh and totally on trend. Choosing them comes in 4 parts. Firstly, decided if you want a bowl or a broth, then choose base, add your sides, and a protein. I opted for haloumi, sweet potato, and tumeric + cumin tossed cauliflower in my bowl, with a base of broccoli and winter greens and chicken for my protein. My other half went for a chicken broth, with buckwheat noodles, a soft boiled egg and fresh bokchoy, enoki mushrooms, beanshoots and thai basil, adding salmon for his protein. I want to say the best thing about them is that they are so healthy, but it's not. It's either that they are so delicious, or that you get to build your own dish, so they are really versatile, or that they cater really well for dietary requirements - so you can please everyone! We also got to try the pikelets, which came with grilled plums, cherry and cardamom syrup, coconut yoghurt and hazelnut brittle. These were also vegan and were amazing, they were light and airy and really tasty. They were so easy to eat, I could have devoured about 100 of them. I enjoyed the syrup and the brittle, but I think a smaller fruit like blueberries or strawberries would have completed the delicate pancakes better. A quick final word on the coffee. My other half tried the batch which is a strong, but enjoyable brew - will really wake you up. You can customise this by adding extra shots too. We liked the healthy conscious, clean eats undertone of Terror Twilight. It's not in your face about it, but most of the menu is healthy, fresh food. It tastes great and really sets you up well for the day. It's a got a good all day, versatile menu, with plenty of options to keep you coming back.
