    An unpretentious corner location in the shopping centre offering a hidden find for morning brunch and takeaway drinks.

  • Dog-Friendly Outdoor Walkway Seating

    Outdoor walkway tables feature dedicated water bowls so visitors can pause comfortably with their pets while grabbing a coffee.

    Noticed seats out front and water bowls for dogs, being used as a lot of people walk the dog, take a seat, have a coffee and watch the world go by.

  • Warm, Community-Focused Atmosphere

    A friendly and welcoming neighborhood environment that makes guests feel comfortable catching up over brunch or a casual drink.

    Rather an unassuming exterior does not give credit for the friendly attentive service and the excellent food.
