Cute little cafe. Brekky for 5. Sat outside. Had chilli scramble with a side of mushrooms, hungry big brekkie, brekkie burger, pesto chicken sandwich and the bruschetta eggs. Felt the Chilli scramble was under seasoned. Easily fixed with salt and pepper on the table. Great chilli hit. Alot of tomato within the scramble make it a little watery. Everyone else loved their dishes. The burger especially was a favourite. Serving staff were friendly. Would have rated higher but one of our meals was served nearly 10 mins after the rest of us and then after we asked where it was. Cashier was very friendly and engaging. Coffee was solid. Overall food was good.

Coffee so good I ordered two, and the lime smashed avo and poached eggs was delicious. Great service too!

'Eat well, Feel well, Live well' emblazoned on the back wall of this friendly Lebanese cafe in Essendon, says it all. Not only do they proudly not charge weekend surcharge, but the staff are friendly and helpful. We shared a big breakfast main for brunch 'Andy's Hungry', which they happily served us shared on two plates. Rye bread was great! Everything was fresh and tasty. This is our second time here. I highly recommend.

Loved this gem of a cafe tucked away in Essendon. Coffee was perfect & the pumpkin salad with chicken was hearty, flavourful and full! Really friendly and attentive service, sweet ambience and seems like there's something for everyone on the menu JJ BRUNCH GAL

Very well made coffee with a strong bean and good extraction. The cafe decor and atmosphere is fantastic. The only thing I would say to the young man serving me and also making the coffee is…SMILE. Be happy young fella! Welcome to being in a service industry. Your smile and your positive attitude will create repeat business and repeat business is what it is all about. I can see some charm deep inside you, bring it out and give it to your customers. On a cold morning there is nothing worse than a surly barista. Give us some of your warmth and you will get it back tenfold from the people that come to see you.
