Cozy, homey atmosphere. Coffee was made very well. The vanilla slice was as delicious as promised. Also ordered a shepherd’s pie which was good - nice pastry, though could have been heated a bit more. Friendly workers, fast service, and decent prices. Will definitely be returning :)

The vegetarian panini was excellent. To top off my meal, I couldn't resist indulging in a slice of their signature vanilla slice.. It was light, fluffy, and simply irresistible.

Stopped by for an egg and bacon muffin. On my way for an appointment. I found the egg and bacon and muffin was just delicious . Especially with a hot chocolate on this fresh winter morning. The staff was also very helpful and quick.

One of the greatest perks when I accompany my client to shop is that we get to explore nearby coffee places! We went to Coles and spotted this cafe accross. We saw their sign that they have really good Vanilla Slices so we ordered for it along with my Hot Chocolate and her usual Cappuccino. I tell you, the Vanilla Slices are big! It is so much worth more than it costs. It is tasty and velvety. It completely complements our drink. They have a variety of pastries and hot foods to try. It's such a cozy place, too!

The hype is real on the vanilla slice. Decadent, so so smooth without actually being rich, just beautiful. Wanted to get a second but… I will pace myself! The coffee is also something I’d easily go back for.
