  • Robert Follis

Great cafe and great coffee. Very nice corner cafe that I have gravitated to on a regular basis, as I am often up before other local cafes open and PP opens at 7.00 am. Staff are friendly, up for a chat if you want to but never intrusive, and the coffee IMHO is the best in the area. Good breakfast food, a comfortable space and now two outside areas. Highly recommended by me.

This has to be bar none, the worst dining experience i have ever had. Service was slow despite us being the only ones in the cafe. 30 minutes for eggs on toast?! Seriously?!?!?! Some of us have jobs to go back to!! We don't all have the leisure of spending of all day sitting care free in a broken down cafe. (edit) one lady next to us inside. singular. who btw, ordered the same time we did, got her food and finished it all before ours came out. Your staffer was having a leisurely conversation with the cook the entire time we were seated.

  • Wendy Jagger

Wow, I have just had lunch with 4 friends here and we all ordered different food,. Toasties, Turkish eggs, and I had the most amazing, flavoursome carrot and potatoe soup, which was none I'd ever eaten before. It had a mélange of herbs and spices, just enough heat, and lovely toasted bread. Highly recommended by us all.

A cute little cafe with good food and well priced. We came here 3 adults and 3 kids and was lucky to have a nice big space to ourselves. The food was tasty and there were toys to entertain the children. I love the colourful timber and exposed brick interior. We catch up often in this area and will definitely return.

Every time I’m in Melbourne this is my go to place. Good food, awesome chai lattes and good service. Getting any 2 of those is hard enough in Melbourne - all 3 is very very rare. Nice one James and team. Always a pleasure.

Had super delicious lunch with a large group of mums, preschoolers and toddlers. Had chicken Turkish sandwich, super yummy even without mayonnaise!! Coffee is excellent!! Even thought only one high chair was available, but the staff was very friendly to us and the kids, kids toys and drawings stuffs were provided!!

The best coffee shop in Fitzroy area! We're here this morning and we must admit that pork Turkish, bleat, latte and ice chocolate are to die for. Customer service is beyond expectations! Highly and extremely recommended

Unassuming spot that does a surprisingly good coffee. The ambiance leaves something to be desired but is pleasant enough - especially if you can snag a window seat.

Fantastic service from very friendly staff! The Reuben I had wasn’t a high stack of meat like a traditional Reuben but after biting in to it realized how damn good it was and didn’t leave me feeling over-stuffed - I’m going back to get this again. Definitely recommend this place!

  • Aileen Goh

Our breakfast was amazing after our morning exercise in the Edinburgh Gardens. Our plates were cleaned up! Chive Chilli scrambled, Burrito and the Burger were yummilicious. Highly recommend. There’s take-away to that is done through a window near the kitchen …

Chicken curry rice, chicken was tender and liked it, only one problem was that curry was a bit watery and it’d be better if it’s thick. Five stars for encouragement.

Had breakfast here this morning. In an area filled with great cafes, this place falls far short. Poor flavours, cheap ingredients, but with a price to match the many better options (even on the same street! Piccante is many times better,

Coffee wasn't exactly to my taste, not sure what happened there but it tasted watery. The shakshuka however was a different beast. The eggs were beautifully poached, despite having spent some quality time in a takeaway box. The bread was

Run of the mill breakfast that will please most. Not bad and not amazing either. Coffee wasn’t great compared to other nearby stores.

Friendly staff, delicious food and great coffee - what's not to love? I think they now have opened up the second floor for seating, as well, though I haven't ventured up there yet.

Excellent food and very nice service. Not the cheapest breakfast you can find but totally worth it. The restaurant is really nice and calm, real charming place.

Down from Bendigo to do some shopping in vicinity. This place is a gem! Shakshuka delicious. Coffee excellent. Loved the music. Can't wait to visit again.

  • Ben Barone-Nugent

Great service. Great coffee. Perfect window seating. Right by the park. The toast was a tad dry, but everything else was spot on. Recommended.

Bread was dry and tasted like it was defrosted, took ages to get our food despite no one being in cafe. Poached egg was actually boiled. More
