Gem in Jan Juc — had the avocado toast and dairy free smoothie. Great atmosphere. Also sells local artisan goods(bought the Thyme and Olive Oil lotion).

Newly renovated and hipster café/foodstore located in the main shopping hub of Jan Juc. So new that the old Swell next door is still upstanding and looking very unloved. Someone has taken some serious time out to design the feel of this place. Loving rolling ceiling, soft lights and lots of natural light flowing in. The service here is fairly hispter. Lots of casual, well sun bathed staff who are generally rather helpful and happy. The café is spilt into three sections. Large seating, small foodstore and a deli style display cabinet/juice bar. The foodstore doesn’t hold much. Usual coffee, tea, sweets, vegan prepackaged food and fresh veges. The menu here is short and sweet. Boasting a bountiful brunch style menu. The burgers are huge. Ridiculously large. One member of our party couldn’t finish her vegetarian burger. There’s no fries on the side, and all for good reason. I was mildly sadden by my chorizo and bean dish. It was tasty and had a perfectly poached egg on top. It was rather on the bean dry side of life. I’m not sure were the capsicum/tomato sauce was meant to be. If it hadn’t been for this small sadness it would have easily been a 5 star venue! Drinks wise I was super impressed. The mango frappé I had was utterly divine. The OG beans used in the coffee equally as impressive.
