Wonderful menu selection! The staff here are very friendly and the wait time was not too long. You should definitely come here if you're in the area as it is just 1 minute away from the station and has great range of unique menu items which make it a perfect location for breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea. I particularly recommend the French toast as the panko crumbing they used made it extra crispy and the fruits tasted quite fresh. The caramelised banana was also a nice touch. It wasn't too sweet either. Will definitely be coming here more often

Really big portion of breakfasts, actually big enough for 2 persons in my opinion. Very friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Food was yummy too, specially the breads were warm, fresh and crunchy. Highly recommended. On my second visit though, it was a pretty negative experience. I think they are short staffed on the weekend, all over the place. Me and my girlfriend's coffee came separately, my coffee was late and cold. Then my food came, hers was late. Her Quinona was undercooked. I do order delivery from this place often and never have any issues. But probably won't dine in on weekends again.

???????????????????????? ???????????? ???????? ???????????????????? ???????????????????????????? I ordered the breakfast burger from ???????? ???????????????????? ???????????????????????????? via Uber Eats, and overall, it was a solid experience. The packaging was average—nothing standout, but it did the job. Considering the food had to travel, I was pleasantly surprised by how tasty the burger still was upon arrival. The combination of bacon and hash browns on top of the patty was definitely the highlight—flavourful and satisfying. The burger had that hearty breakfast feel I was craving. The buns were decent, though there’s room for improvement—they could be softer or fresher to really elevate the overall bite. All in all, a pretty good delivery option for a breakfast fix. I’d consider ordering again!

This coffee shop is close to my house, just cross the road from Kogarah Center square. I had coffee with my friend few times there. Regular coffee is huge and nice. Staff are very friendly. Can sit outside and inside. Next time I will try lunch there.

The atmosphere at this cute coffee shop was really welcoming and quite homey. The prices are very reasonable. We ordered the soy flat white and the mocha which was pretty good. The only downside was the 18grams club sandwich, which was very very dry (Not impressive at all if that is their signature sandwich) - if i were to order this in future I would suggest to get it with some BBQ sauce as the mayonnaise they put in this was basically non-existent (Just being brutally honest). The scrambled eggs was a way better option.
