★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Good food. The scramed eggs with sourdough is okay and the burrito was really good, i truly recommend it. But we ordered a espresso mascarpone bread that unfortunately, was not in its best days. The bread was dry and not fluffy at all, altough the mascarpone cream was fine.
April 10 · Luiz Gustavo Costa MansoThe bowl was surprisingly good! Something different then the avocado toasts or the egg Benedict’s that you usually get. The staff is super fast and friendly and they are toddler friendly as well.
July 01 · Selcuk BiniciSeated immediately as walk-ins for Friday late lunch, fast service, food was *chef's kiss* delicious.Didn't realize it was Australian inspired until I read the other reviews, it was certainly better than most American standard fayre.
July 04 · J-Rocks!I recently went here for lunch on a Sunday with a couple of my friends. The server was nice but didn’t talk much though (I understand because it was lunch hour on a weekend). We had inside seating with no reservation but were able to be seated within 10 minutes. Food taste was great. However, the portion you get for the price you’re paying was not worth it. I had the brekky muffuletta which again tasted great but it was $17 for what looked like the equivalent of 1/3 of a normal sandwich. My friends tried the breakfast burrito and the smashed avocado toast in which they said were average for the price point and could’ve made it at home instead.
July 06 · Brittany JesterThe gentle bustling energy of this place was irresistible- as soon as my nine year old peeked in she didn’t want to go anywhere else! I was worried the menu didn’t have anything basic enough for her, but she tried the harissa chicken (not spicy) and absolutely loved it. Sourdough toast and a smoothie rounded it out for a perfect kid friendly meal that introduced some new flavors. They were very accommodating for my food allergies, and the staff was all around so nice and helpful. The kid is already planning our next trip there!
