Cafe gem on Victoria St

Good things coming out of this narrow cafe space with friendly service and wonderful temptations on display from Brickfields. Piccolo ($3.50) and Cappuccino ($3.50) made with The Black Lab coffee with a good strong flavour. Babyccinos were free and so cute with dog and cat froth art. The kids loved them. Mortadella, semi-dried tomato, provolone sandwich ($12.50) so simple yet so tasty. Avo smash - goats feta, lemon, cherry tomato and mint ($15.50) looking so vibrant and pretty and delivered on great flavour. Loved the addition of the spiced dukkah (I think) on the lemon to squeeze on top to bring the flavour hit to the next level. Such a great addition to the cafe hub on Victoria Street.

For love not money cafe

A lovely 'profit for purpose cafe' to enjoy my Cappuccino ($3.50) using Gabriel Coffee with nice flavour and strength. My healthy start to the day of Avocado Toast, soy and linseed bread, tahini dressing, dukkah ($16) is a decent portion with tasty flavours and plenty of avocado for the win. Friendly service and nice decor with a small leafy rustic courtyard out the back completes the picture. The tapioca and halloumi fritter signature dish is next on my wishlist.
