This place is excellent. Great coffee. Great service. The Turkish eggs with hash and chorizo is the way to go absolutely.
Cheers Josh!

A very nice place to eat. The menu has a reasonable selection and veg are catered for. The meal was very tasty however the serving size was disappointing given the price.

Had the Egmont Burger (beef) paired with a Bloody Mary (Made from real tomatoes) and it was a sensation. Wife had the Turkish eggs and she loved that as well (shared with a Mimosa)
Highly recommend this place, weve been coming for years and never had anything that was even average. Also very kid friendly.

I am a interstate traveler, regularly visiting Adeliade and this cafe is one of my must visits every time... The coffee never fails to satisfy me, perfectly done. The food is always amazing, full of flavour and good quality produce (always keeping it fun with specials) But whats even better about this place and makes a place so much more enjoyable is the staff, they are so welcoming, perfect spot to have breakfast/brunch/lunch or just a coffee and some cake.
