"Food was amazing"
"Sweet little Asian fusion cafe with an Asian twist on most meals"
"i haven’t been so impressed at a brunch place in a while!! i came in a group of 7 and some of us ordered a bit earlier than the others to put less stress on the kitchen (i was one)"
"The ambiance in the establishment was filled with a welcoming and pleasant feeling"
"Great food and drinks"
Food was amazing. If the review was based on food alone, I'd give 4.5 stars. Just felt the coffee was a little bitter. Creamy but bitter. My magic coffee with honey and lactose free milk set me back $6.66 on a Sunday. Honey was free according to the ordering site. I could not taste any honey. Overall, felt it was on the pricier end of cafes, footing 20% extra on Sunday plus the card surcharge fee. But food was tasty all round. So, if you don't mind paying for quality food, this is a great place to enjoy Asian fusion/inspired cafe food. My biggest gripe occured afterwards. Even though I registered my email on ordering and was informed I would get an invoice of the payment/order, I did not. So splitting the bill afterwards not knowing the weekend surcharge was difficult. The itemised screen after the ordering page showed 10%. But back calculated 20%. I was stumped for a long time working out how to break up the bill with friends. I didn't see the figure advertised anywhere when booking. I was lucky that I made several screenshots through the process, they were my records that I worked backwards to calculate. Receipts should be printed if emails cannot be automatically sent via the system. This cost me an hour of head scratching which could have easily been avoided. Hence the 4 stars instead of 5. Felt like pricing was hidden and not transparent without receipts. Left a sour taste to my previously top notch experience.

Sweet little Asian fusion cafe with an Asian twist on most meals. Large range of bao buns, jaffles and waffles.Indoor and outdoor eating areas available. Online seat reservation system working spasmodically and in restaurant.....order thru table barcodes or at the register. We had a pleasant lunch, but our reservation request had not been received ( despite 3 text confirmations) and the 2 girls serving were NOT very friendly. Food was tasty and well presented.

Not much parking available out front on the street, but 150 m away is Devon Plaza and you can park there and walk up to the cafe.
i haven’t been so impressed at a brunch place in a while!! i came in a group of 7 and some of us ordered a bit earlier than the others to put less stress on the kitchen (i was one). almost everything came out in around 10 mins. i had Melissa’s style aglio e olio spaghetti and it smelled and tasted every bit as delicious as it looks, it really hit the spot and was the perfect serving for me. it was so garlicky in the best possible way and the chili gave it the perfect amount of kick!! everything on the menu looked great, i’ll most definitely be back

Great food and drinks. The Hong Kong Sizzling Steak was define. Cooked perfectly with an amazing pepper sauce. The Taro latte was an interesting drink .. quite enjoyable especially for a first time. From what I heard, not many places do Taro drinks so it was a welcome change. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful… Great lil cafe to visit and enjoy ❤️

Couldn’t believe someone actually doing fusion from Malaysia and Hong Kong. Tried their special of the day I reckon, the HK style steak. Believed from the steak sandwich, a little on the tough or too well done. But other than that brings back memories when I was in HK. Their waffle dessert was perfectly done and crispy on the outside yet soft on the inside.

Doggo friendly cafe (outdoor seating) Their Aglio e Olio is packed with garlic and chilli and is a must try for pasta lovers. Their waffles are also made fresh when ordered! James and his team’s customer service is always friendly and the atmosphere is casual and welcoming!
Really creative cafe, that mixes the old with new… the durian latte was surprisingly good, and the pineapple bun with fried chicken, black sesame ice cream waffle amazing. Everything was good! Definitely worth a visit - gets busy but you can book a table and order online in advance! More
Brunch style cafe with an asian flavour. Portion sizes are reasonable and there are lots of interesting menu items to pick from (indomie jaffle is hard to pass up). Coffee is good and there’s a variety of latte options if you prefer (green
We have just had the most awesome breakfast on Christmas day at your Cafe. We live in your area and had never noticed you before and found out that you are fairly new to the area but I can honestly say from the initial amazing greeting at
Oh my lord in heaven…….half boiled eggs and durian lattes…….the heavens open and I transported back to Malaysia. Mmmm. The purple taro latte was sweet and delightful. Durian latte was well flavoured with durian. And how can half boiled
A very nice cafe with warm and beautiful atmosphere, exemplary service and unique food. We come here almost every week for breakfast or lunch, always looking forward to trying out another dish on the menu. More
Their dishes are unique and well-designed with an Asian twist and they were so tasty, vibrant and insta-worthy . Their menu is so innovating and they also have a wide range of desserts. This
Really special and creative dishes either cheong fan or curry baked egg both taste really good! The dirty macha and taro latte best with Hong Kong style Polo bao! More
Love the cafe menu with Malaysian flavor. Enjoyed the roti bread with curry chicken and egg. Surprised by the heat but I liked it. Will return to try others. More
Had brunch with a couple of friends here last weekend and we thoroughly enjoyed every dish we had (and their amazing coffee!!).
The best Katsu Sando in Melbourne ❤️ Nice to have some extraordinary food in the area. The coffee is also 5 star!
