The eggs benny rosti stack looked to be the only interesting thing on the menu so tried one with salmon and one with bacon as well as a large side of fries. The breakfast and lunch menu was unfortunately lacking and had very limited choices. The lunch menu had ramen and soft tacos which was a little atypical and jarring for cafe food. However from the food i did try, I really loved the crunchy buttery light hash brown potatoes underneath the poached egg covered in hollandaise. It was a nice alternative to the common ciabatta bread. Egg was cooked very nicely and the diced beetroot on the side was a nice addition.
It’s always a joy to sit in this colourful cafe with its cheerful staff, sun streaming through the full-length windows. As Lou says — reminds us of Crave in their early days. Their food has remained consistent since its opening. A bunch of us ordered the crowd-pleaser crispy pork roast (aptly called the “Kings Belly”) with polenta chips and 5-spice glaze, always a good time. We’ve also caught glimpses of the rosti stack — a gleaming tower of golden hash piled with bacon, avo and wobbly poached eggs. If only we had two stomachs. Thanks for being a reassuring (and tasty) neighbour, HP — cool stuff.

Great service nice latte yummy food nice location.
Lots of sun in the mornings, next to uber office so parking might be a bit tricky if cafe car park is full.
Very well priced with breakfast $15-$20 only. Latte was under $5!

A lovely little cafe/lunch place hidden away from the hustle and bustle of Kingsland.
I ordered a lamb salad, which was perfectly medium rare, with a curated accompaniment of flavours: beetroot, honeyed walnuts and feta -- along with a fresh salad.
The coffee, a staple of any meal prior to dinner, was good, served in contrasting colourful mugs.
The service was wonderful, with friendly and gregarious waiters.
Superior cafe experience in Kingsland, of which there are many options; this is the best. Clean, tidy, beautiful interior, not too noisy, fantastic staff on all fronts. But best of all... the food is actually great. Brisket is a quality dish here and their daily specials are very competitive.
Had a lovely lunch here today. It's so difficult to get parking on this street but luckily this car has its own dedicated parking!
I couldn't fault this cafe from anything. From the moment we stepped in we were greeted by a warm welcome and water was served immediately. The water then took our drinks orders.
They drinks came out piping hot and very quickly. Our meals were also served quickly as well. The slow cooked pork belly was tender and delicious. The portion size was generous and the flavours were all on point. The morrocan chicken salad was very fresh and well seasoned.
The decor is has some really neat wall art and I love the large sliding doors. There's slot of natural lighting and gives off a very spacious feel. The cabinet menu is small but there are plenty of options to choose from as well.
I would definitely be back to try a smoothie. The service was so friendly and bubbly, it was an absolute treat.

Consistently good! Always Happy people, Making a real effort to have new and fresh food available, testing out new snacks, my favourite thing, something new off the menu when you go somewhere often. Coffee is always great. Thanks guys!
Love this cosy cafe! Not very easy to find location. We missed the turn and had to circle round the back road and finally got here!Car parking could be a mission during peak hours but we were lucky we got the last empty park.We ordered a Moroccan chicken salad and son of a brisket. Both were nice and special, not the boring kind of cafe usuals. Saw they had a salmon special of the day too. Will definitely be back to try other dishes. The decorations are beautiful and cabinet food look good too. Friendly service and the best part is dog friendly so I will give them full marks for that 😊👍

This is not your average cafe. Not many people would just stubble upon it, I don’t think you would find it unless you were really looking for it. But I would recommend you look for it and try this delightful gem!
The service is fantastic, most lovely down to earth people, really helpful and friendly feel like you really belong in their beautiful cafe.
The menu is amazing, such a range and everything sounds so good it makes choosing kind of difficult. Especially with their cabinet food looking just as delicious. Their chocolate cupcakes. My god.
I’ve had there rosti stack, was devine. Thought it needed 2 eggs not just the one though.
And have had the Moroccan chicken salad with quinoa, so flavourful and complex. Just thought was a tad bit small for the price, needed a few more greens? Was happy with amount of chicken, and came with falafel (bonus!) but would have liked a bit more salad. Also couldn’t actually see any quinoa in my salad?
In love with this place though! Sad it is not open in the weekend, I expect this is due to their main market being business people, groups, especially being in an office block.
Will be back when I can!
Staff were really friendly and gave great service. Food was yummy and atmosphere was really cool. Will definitely be coming back and bringing more people!
First time here today and it was awesome! staff are so friendly and welcoming. The coffee was delicious and so was the food! great vibe. will definitley be back.
A really enjoyable and pleasant experience. A real hidden gem in kingsland! The staff were great, open and welcoming. The food was simple but delicious. Definitely coming back
From beginning to end this was an exceptional dining experience. Excellent warm welcome upon arrival - we had a really great Cappuccino and Soy Latte to start. Amazing Breakfast Burrito and Breakfast Bagel. We also tried the chocolate and carrot cakes, both of which are some of the best cakes I've had in a while.
Pretty average food really. Staff are far too relaxed and spent too much time behind the counter rather than servicing customers tables. Terrible hollandaise sauce, taste like it is premade out of a bottle. The salads in the display cabinet also don't look fresh. There are better places around to eat, but if you are just after a coffee, the coffee is quite a good roast (strong), but coffee could be hotter.
Came here on a grabone voucher on a grey Sunday lunchtime, which is normally peak time at a cafe but there were only 3 groups of people seated when we arrived. This is probably because the cafe is off the main road and attached to a business building, so doesn't really stand out to people passing by which is a real shame because the cafe is really cute, with quirky decor like a giant painted mural and a cutlery light decoration.
I got the vegetarian bagel which was nothing fancy but looked great on the plate and I was happy with it. Could've done with less garlic butter though, which was pre-smothered and dripping off the bagel and towards the end made it a bit soggy. Food came out quickly and the girls were really sweet and attentive so A+ for service.

Not too crowded on Sunday 11am. Good coffee. Excellent service. Decent food. We had the rosti stack and steak sandwich. Both recommended highly. The chocolate waffles looked amazing at the table next to us so must return to try it. A great new place with lots of free parking around too. Small menu but done well.
Friendly and relaxed service. The lamb salad is great (I wouldn't change anything about it). The potato rostie was ok. The bacon, egg, avo were perfect (I can't overstate how good they were) , but the potato rostie had a few too many herbs in it for my liking. The menu is fantastic, I'll be back soon
Worth every single penny that you spend! Had the salmon bagel and pork belly for lunch today, both were sooo goood.. especially the presentation! Coffee was good too
Had lunch at this restruant, the place looked nice and the customer service was great. The food were reasonably priced and presentation were good. I think the coffee is good, but would be better if it's hotter. Definitely will be going back again.

A hidden gem in kingsland area with heaps of parking and sunshine. Newly opened, reasonably priced (around $45 for two including brunch & drinks). Will definitely visit again.
Visited this little gem for lunch the other day. I ordered the Rosti stack and a long black, both were delicious. Staff were friendly and attentive, coffee was strong and there were many decent options for my friend who has dietary needs (gluten and dairy free). Nice and tucked away off the main street. Will definitely come back.
Really yummy food, friendly for different dietary requirements. We had a lovely brunch sitting inside with the sun streaming in through the big window doors. Friendly and attentive staff.
Nice conveniently located cafe. I could smell nice food from outside when I was walking past so I decided to give this cafe a go. Good customer service. Food is good and reasonably priced. Carparking available beside cafe and plenty of street parking up to 2hrs.
Thanks so much for having our big group of 14. Great service and organisation by the cafe team which allowed us to have a seamless lunch service. We were able to pre-order as a big group and had our food out much quicker. Had a Taco El Trio (platter to share with someone else) as was able to taste 3 varieties: Tempura Fish, Crispy Chicken and Beef Brisket. All yum, as were the drinks! Will be back!
Beautiful breakfast and atmosphere!
Boys were very welcoming and hospitable.
Clean and inviting and such an awesome find 😍 Place was humming with customers getting their morning fix of coffee
Nice atmosphere and great coffee. Food reasonably priced and very tasty, though could be improved. Will definitely go back.
Came across the cafe pretty much by accident as it was right next to a job. Staff were really welcoming and friendly, which is actually not exceptionally common when you're a tradie used to receiving the raised nose treatment upon arriving at the counter..
Food looked as awesome as the cafe. I was pretty impressed. The cafe is somehow quite large, yet doesn't feel wide open with no atmosphere, great design and lay out. Love the flow from indoors to outside. Its really well done.
I tried the Moroccan chicken wrap which was delicious, fresh and not overly priced. HIGHLY recommend!
The destination cafe for Eden Terrace locales, for work or pleasure. Elevated, sunny location, with indoor and out door tables, relaxed atmosphere, stylish in a comfortable understated way. Reliably decent menu, counter food and coffee. Also fully licenced. Friendly, intelligent staff who can also cater events on site. Highly recommended
Great food and atmosphere, only complaint was that the staff seemed a bit lost. Maybe a Sunday thing but it was a bit annoying.
Fantastic quick service, very friendly staff, best coffee ever, quirky stuff on walls to look at, Healthy delicious foods. I have chicken ceasar salad and char grilllled broccoli salad, good parking , wheelchair access ,
Great wee Cafe. Food, coffee and service is consistently 10/10.
Tucked just out of town an excellent cafe. More on the business cafe end than the Starbucks style. Nice staff, tasty food, and well priced. A great find. Unfortunately outdoor area is only decent if you enjoy smoke and witg the doors open just blows inside. Not recommended if you aren't keen on second hand smoke.
