Very nice café. The interior is very nice and the music makes a nice atmosphere. When we entered they immediately lead us to a table and took our orders. The staff is capable and able to answer questions about the food. Food was delivered quickly and is very tasty, though it is very hot too. All in all I would come again.

Absolutely well made coffee. Soy flat white was ordered and they made it properly. Minimal microfoam with double shot and it was sensational. It’s hard to find places that know how to froth soy milk well. From my favourite places in Tokyo, Christchurch and Melbourne, this place stands out. Give the barristers a raise.
