The appeal is a relaxed laneway cafe with a loyal following — somewhere to settle in for a great coffee, a bite and a catch-up, in the heart of the city's celebrated laneway scene. Its central Block Place location, close to the shops and the arcades, makes it an easy and welcoming stop.
Cafe menus, specials and trading hours change over time, and it can get busy at peak times. If you're after a particular dish or specific opening hours, it's worth confirming the current details directly with the cafe before you head over.
