Japanese influenced menu
New kids on the block taking over the old Roomie Cafe site. It may be located on a very busy traffic corner with limited parking in the area but the bubbly friendly service and great coffee using Five Senses will hopefully keep the locals happy. The Japanese inspired menu looks interesting offering something different for the neighbourhood. Cappuccino ($3.80) using Five Senses is very enjoyable and made well. Free range scrambled eggs and toast ($11) uses a yummy sourdough from Butler & Bentley. The portion of toast overshadows the egg but OK once spread out. A bit of shichimi togarashi on the egg wouldn't go astray and would fit in nicely with their Japanese themed menu. Seating, table setting and garden landscape is pleasant although can unfortunately become exposed to the wind and wet weather. It's a challenging spot but they seem to be making the best of it and I hope they do well.

Coffee & Cookie Goals
Very nice Cappuccino ($3.50) using Five Senses Coffee served in a small cup that gives a good hit of flavour. Cookie heaven to be found here. Nutella Cookie ($4) and Peanut Butter Cookie ($4) so good they're dangerous. Just the right crunchy texture on the outside with a soft gooey like texture to be found in the epicentre of chocolate or peanut butter goodness. Pretty cool decor and some seating to be found inside at either the high tables or larger common table. Not so keen on the metal seating though which looks cool but makes a hell of a noise when moving along the hard floor. Menu looks reasonably priced so definitely keen to revisit. Service friendly and parking can be a little bit of challenge in the area.

New coffee kids on the block
It's the second day of opening and these guys seem to know what they're doing. Love the look of the place that occupies a corner location in a high pedestrian traffic area. Cappuccino ($3.50) using Five Senses Coffee Dark Horse Blend is made well with a nice dark roast flavour and quite light on froth. Ham & Cheese Croissant ($8) is small but tasty using a croissant from Breadfern. Seating and tables are on the small side suitable for a quick coffee or simple bite to eat. Service was friendly and keen for efficiency. Table water brought promptly when dining in. I'm curious to try the lobster roll on the lunch board menu as I'm always looking for the best one in Sydney. Those oversized cookies on display will be sure to tempt an epic sugar kick to share.
