“So good, we went back the next day ! Super-friendly, warm, polite and professional staff made us feel so welcome and valued as customers. Outrageously good food and beverages.”

“Fantastic cafe for breakfast or lunch. It is on the first floor of a hotel, so you have to take an elevator up (hence the name hahaha). We had Eggs Benedict and flat white coffees here. The breakfast menu included omelettes, waffles, and bagels. Lunch menu featured pastas, burgers, and salads. Vegetarian options and dairy alternatives available. Highly recommended if you are in the CBD or on your way to the ferries.”
