We had the Turkish eggs, sourdough with eggs, and the salmon plate. They do their eggs very well. Their coffee was nice too. Very friendly and relaxed ambience. Loved it!

As a Turk myself, I see the idea behind their Turkish eggs and it’s such an amazing plate it’s very filling too with their delicious bread. I loved their unique and beautiful coffee cups as well and great coffee! And staff is really kind! What else can you ask for from a cafe?! My sister and I had a very satisfying breakfast here and 10000% recommend

This is the best pizza I have ever eaten. Do yourselves a favour and come to this charming little cafe. Lovely owners and staff. Wonderful semi rural setting. Indoor and outdoor dining. Dog friendly. The pizza dough has the perfect char, chewy and fluffy in all the right spots. Perfect portion size. High quality ingredients made to shine. I can’t say enough good things! Thank you!

This is a quirky little cafe with an interesting menu. The team were friendly and the food was yummy and wholesome. Definitely worth trying if you want something a little bit different. They also had a large range of organic sodas and coffees.

Great little cafe on the outskirts of richmond. Nice and out of the way, with a great view of the field and outside. With space for large groups and not superduper busy, its a great place for family and friend meets. I had a small tulip flatwhite and the steak sandwich. The flatwhite was balanced and delicious with no crazy ups or down in flavour pretty standard, you could taste the sweetness of the milk. The steak sandwich had tender thin slices of steak and provolone cheese. Tasty and delicious it filled me up and went well with the coffee. The service was welcoming and personal, the staff is lovely and kind with great service and fast food. The atmosphere is arty and country. It feels like an outback country antique store, but the owners feed you when you're there. I love it! Its refreashing to visit compared to the city life but not to far away. Its a lovely cafe for small or large groups looking for a more outercity/country feel and good food from good people. I will be back!
