This cafe is so relaxed and comfortable. Indoor and outdoor seating, and the owners are super friendly. Coffee and food is excellent standard and you can get an afternoon coffee here after the other cafes in the area have closed.

This corner cafe has a bright atmosphere and great service. They offer all the usual Sydney cafe fare, but the Korean twist makes it special. It is well worth trying out their "cupbabs", which are both tasty and filling (excellent value for money!). Well worth a visit!

Kevin and staff provide amazing service. The morning menu of croissants and toasties are tasty and affordable. With coffee running all day, and some delicious bakery sweets to choose from (I recommend the homemade gluten free cookies and homemade cheesecake), the breakfast runs right into the lunch menu. Specialising in Korean cupbap (rice bowls with my favourites, spicy pork, bulgolgi, and chicken buldak) as well as some delicious sandwiches, their menu is affordable but filling and delicious. The specials (like the Korean chicken and slaw burger in the photo) are heaven and always under $15! Not only the best value for money in the area, but some of the tastiest,.and the closest Korean food to the city you will find. Meanwhile, the service and atmosphere is great. I love coming here, and so would you.

Looooved this Korean style cup bap (rice bowl). Really tasty with fresh ingredients. Highly recommend "Chicken Mayo" or "spicy pork" cup bap.
