What People Say
"Consistently the best Coffee I can find in the CBD."
Reviewers consistently praise the quality of the coffee and the welcoming atmosphere, though service can be inconsistent.
"Just ducked in for a quick bite on the go Can’t remember the names of the two things I got, but one was like a cheese scone, but way better! And the vanilla custard slice was very good too, but not my favorite. Great place though and I would go again"
"Delicious and authentic French cakes, pricey, but well worth it as a nice treat. Perfect Amandine tart, divine Paris Brest and good coffee. Staff offhand and disinterested, it's just like being in Paris!!"
"Consistently the best Coffee I can find in the CBD. Service is top tier. Food is really good. Atmosphere is great, it’s busy, bustling, and they have an on to it team, who always make you feel welcome. But the star of the show is absolutely the coffee. Recommend."
