In 2017 it won best cafe design at the Eat Drink Design awardsย with a fit-out by Ritz & Ghougassian. The sunny corner space is filled top to bottom with spotted gum timberย panelling with a polished concrete floor.

The food and coffee is similarly boutique and upscale, a far cry from a shopping centre food court of chain stores.

The lemon and poppyseed pancakes are fat and fluffy and oh-so-pretty., with a generous pour of berry coulis, fresh fruit and quenelle of pink-candy-sprinkle marscapone.
