Great little café; I was in search of the John Smith café, but I got lost and decided to stop by here instead– glad I did!
Since it was hot outside, I decided to order the apple ginger juice. It’s a well suited combo and was just the refreshing kick I needed. It came in a super cute mason jar fitted with a straw in the cap. I’m sure this sounds like an unnecessary detail, but since a lot of hipster cafes come without a lid and just the straw, I really appreciated the lid so that the straw didn’t float up or out.
The bulgogi burger was made promptly and came out on a small wooden cutting board with a bowl of fries (or do Aussies call them chips? Sorry… tourist here). The fries were well salted, but I wish it had come with ketchup… Sure, I could’ve asked, but I elected to be lazy. They make some good quality fries, though– there wasn’t a single one that got in the mix that was accidentally burnt, even on the tips! The burger was delicious, but if I could make improvements I would juice it up a bit, whether it be through the bulgogi it self or adding a compatible sauce of some sort. I felt it was a bit dry, and with my decision to eat fries sans ketchup, the combo made me wish I had more juice.
The service was excellent; the barista/​waiter was very attentive and noticed immediately when I had finished scanning the menu to take my order. Every aspect of my interaction with him was friendly. The staff are Korean, and the older man (I think the main cook?) noticed that I’m probably Korean too and made an effort to thank me for stopping by while I was paying the the barista/​waiter. So friendly!
During my time there I noticed several people who seemed like regulars stopping by for their brew. The staff and regulars greeted each other like great friends, and I heard every single one of the regulars compliment them on their delicious coffee. If I’m back in the area, I’ll be making an effort to stop by again and try their coffee!

Bargain breakfasts to be had at this sneaky find not to mention the coffee is good.
I had a breakfast board which was well presented with the right mix of savoury and sweet: perfectly folded eggs, mushrooms, hashbrown, tomato along with a mini fruit salad as dessert to my savoury. A brilliant idea. It was like eating at a buffet or when you can’t decide between scrambled eggs or fruit salad you can have both!
My partner got the bacon and egg roll and coffee for $ 9! Decent sized as well. They also had a big brekky with bulgogi which I will have to try next time. Would definitely come here again.
