Food and Quality

Gillian Au Lui agrees, giving the cafe 5 stars and mentioning the best wedges she's had in a while. Karl Chong and Bo Jiang also sing the praises of specific dishes, such as the fried chicken tortilla and the salmon salad. On the other hand, Oriwa Williams was disappointed with her take-away egg white omelette, finding it to be a dense folded fried egg with cheese in the middle. Mary Molloy, however, has consistently enjoyed her meals at the cafe, finding the food to be excellent and reasonably priced.
