Decisions... decisions... savoury pancakes, sweet pancakes or exotic sweet pancakes?…read more As much as the Banana Flambé caught my attention, I decided to keep it simple for breakfast and got the egg & bacon pancake wrap. Stokers delivered the goods! It was delicious! The scrambled eggs were light and fluffy, generous portions of bacon and the pancake that held it all together was amazing. I would love to try it with some syrup. Best green tea latte I've had and I appreciated being greeted and served with a sincere smile.

For a place just for pancakes - its all right. There are sweet and savoury pancake options. You can…read moreeven get burgers and Parma. Add sides to your pancakes like bacon, avocado, eggs, and tomato. Coffee is average with small for 3.50 and large for 4.50. Options for juices and shakes. Tea is by teapigs (co.uk) My friend and I split our pancakes - we got the savoury potato pancakes with chilli and fried onion. It tasted like masala dosa but with no chutney or lentil Sambhar. The salad that it comes with is not really a salad. It is just two spinach leaves. Negative! We also got the warm delicious caramelized apple pancakes which tasted like apple pie. Yum. We were stuffed after. Service is quick.

I used to go to grigons and Orr quite a while back and loved it. So when my friend asked where we…read moreshould go for a big vegan breakfast that was close to home we chose here. I was let down this time. Their vegan options had dwindled to just one and we had to 'make your own' to put together a meal which turned out extremely expensive for what we got. The vegan option was crumpets with spread. As we were hungry we opted for toast with the sides of avocado, hash brown, mushrooms and tomato. This came to the hefty sum of $22! (I'm certain we were charged for the eggs even though we didn't order them) The meal it self was tasty! I couldn't help wishing for lemon with the avocado but the hash brown was so delicious! The service was great and friendly and the place is so adorable. There was a very long wait on food, which we were fine with and they had set our expectations early. There also seemed to be a bit of a wasp problem so we needed to move inside. I love the outside tables on what is a quiet spot on queensberry st, so I hope they deal with the wasps somehow. It was like watching a comedy sketch, everyone flapping them away or running about then sitting down again. Overall, it was too expensive for such a basic meal and took way too long to come out considering there was still empty tables. Order the set meals and you will probably have a much better experience!

Still, the number of Einstein quotes in here were pretty good. In a way, this place is basically one of those small coffee shops that generally service the business, particularly the businesses where the people aren't all that keen on walking too far to get a decent cup of coffee that doesn't happen to be the powdery stuff in the kitchen. I liked it though, even though there was a limited amount on the menu. However, the staff were friendly, and the tea was also nice.

But it was sunday. And a tad busy.no real lost and i would recommend a second visit when not with three others.

You can sit down to great service for a meal of around $10 -$15 per head, in a really great people watching setting with pretty crockery. There are freshly made cold rolls (duck, pork and prawn or crispy tofu), an aromatic pad thai, a sesame beef or poached chicken salad and roti wraps. ALL of these are great with generous hits of herbs, vegetables, flavour and crunch. There is also a range of difference chilli sauces to chose from and pickled chilli too. And they are real hot. All items mentioned above were delicious and low in oil so I have left on all three occasions feeling like I did something healthy to my body for once but not like I needed to eat more. The drinks menu is a little bit more on the expensive side and the coconut water is in a huge can so you can probably share this with your lunch buddy. Eat your own dish if you have to (boring) but its way more fun to share all of this especially if there are two of you as cold rolls come in a social two roll serving.

In the end we found a table and the waiter came straight away, he was very friendly and didn't mind that my mum didn't want dry fruit in her fruit salad.

The bread is really soft and the chips were very tasty! My mum enjoyed her fruit salad and was very happy with the restaurant (which can be very difficult). All in all I would 100% recommend going to this place, with friendly staff and amazing food what else is there to want?

They've got 'em all. I usually randomly ask them to prepare me some scrambled eggs on toast with mushrooms, tomato and spinach. The result is better than expected. Try their Benedict eggs as well. All worth it. Lovely and friendly staff! Nice background music!

I came here today on a warm, sunny day, and they have a big outdoor seating area, and plenty of room on the inside, with big wide open windows to make you feel part of the outside still. They have a great all day menu full of your favourites, and a good selection for lunch. Admittedly, I really only ordered a salmon Eggs Benny, which yes, is something I can make at home, but it was still presented well and these things always taste better when someone else makes it for you (though I would have had a side of butter with mine if I knew how dry the toast was going to be). I had a Mango Smoothie too, and that was nice, though the passionfruit inside it, almost overtook in flavour. Everyone at my table LOVED their coffees, and their burger and Ruebin sandwich were apparently great too. Overall this was a great lunch outing. I can't really fault it at all. All well priced and everything tasted good and was presented nicely. I had been wanting to come here for a while now, so I'm glad I finally got the chance and would highly recommend it.

Sometimes I find the need to talk to the people in the kitchen and tell them how satisfied I am. I have seen on TV a lot lately the use of micro herbs but never actually eaten somewhere that put them on my dish, I got that fancy schmancy treatment here. I didn't actually need it, but it did look nice. On my way out I fell for my temptation and brought the best meringue that I have eaten in my entire life. Just before being put into the over to cook a shot of coffee was poured into the mix and swirled around. So chewy in the middle. Perfect.
