Had the almond and pistachio croissants. Easily one of the best almond croissants I’ve ever had. And I’ve eaten plenty. Also got the hazelnut for takeaway and had that, was also really good. Definitely will be back here for when they have their full opening with hot food. Highly recommend to anyone looking for delicious food.

Stopped at this cafe for brunch. The kids enjoyed the milkshakes and tropical smoothie (not pictured). The menu is simple with wraps, toasties, Panini and sweets. The Italian Panni was great! So flavourful with pesto, rocket, salami, cheese, roast capsicum, sun-dried tomatoes and olives! The coffee was also great tastings.

I was very impressed by the kindness and attentiveness of the service, even if it was just for a quick coffee and croissant. The croissant reminded me of the Italian ones. Not easy to find an apricot jam croissant in Melbourne! Yum!

Cute little place with a diner-esque vibe. Two different businesses reside in the same space and they both play different music which is kinda grating. The staff were absolutely lovely. The Buffalo Chicken Wrap was ok. I think it may have been a mistake going with shredded chicken with the buffalo sauce mixed through. Wasn't a great texture and the flavour of the sauce got lost. Better to have grilled chicken and the sauce as its own ingredient i think.

Such a sweet local gem in Brunswick. The menu is kept simple with rolls, toasties, wraps and baked goods on offer. They absolutely deliver in terms of quality and freshness. If you're keen for a drink - the coffee is great, or they've also got smoothies too. Most recently I tried and loved the marinated chicken Turkish roll (marinated chicken, tomato relish, salad, mayo and cheese). Scrumptious! The service and staff are lovely and accommodating too - JJ BRUNCH GAL

LOVE THIS PLACE, located in the heart of ygon St, just infront of New York Minute, Curve Cafe, The CROISSANTS here are packing with flavour, very balanced and heated well, I got an almond croissant and man it was easily one of the best I've had, and I can tell you I've eaten a lot of croissants. The butter was so good and sweet in the middle.... The COFFEE, is actually really good, never burnt and also a good combination of creamy and smooth, I tend to drink oat lattes and it never disappoints. PIES: if you love a good pie, they definitely have the right ones for you, I had a lamb and rosemary and damn it was good. Overall: I come here almost on a daily as I'm a local and I can't say enough, more people definitely need to come through to this place. Definitely doesn't get the recognition it deserves.
