“Such an awesome little spot for coffee with a view. It was super busy when we arrived but still welcomed with great customer service. Basic cabinet food- only 1 option for vegetarians. The milkshake was a 10/10 would definitely have again!”

“This is a great spot to stop in for wine, food and good vibes! Right across from the Museum Theatre Gallery and very central, we stopped after doing the self guided Art Decco walking tour. Great wine and great service!”

“Just popped in for a coffee and a cuppa. Spied the GF Berry Custard Slice in the Cabinet. Being a Coeliac it was a treat to see something different other than a solitary Chocolate Brownie that a lot of Cafes have just to say there is a GF option. SoHo had a number of GF options. The slice was to die for. Got it heated and it was just heaven. One of the nicest slices I’ve ever had. I’ll be back Soho. Thankyou. Great spot”

“Excellent service, greeted and shown our seats as soon as we arrived. The staff were always on hand checking on us, never had to wait long to ask for another drink or anything else off the menu. The food was delicious. Large meals. Wanted to try the dessert but didn't have enough room in our bellies from the delicious food. Love the garlic loaf and the mocktails were yummy.”

“I came here for the Wednesday $19 meals. The portions were great and the taste excellent. The lamb shank had rich gravy over it. The batter on the fish was light and crisp. The steak was done to a perfect medium rare. The only downside was I wished the apple and rhubarb crumble had more rhubarb, but it was delicious.”

“Don't waste your money here! Loved the fact you could order via QR code at the table. Service was OK. BUT they got our drinks order wrong despite ordering it online. Kids cheese burger was dry and bland with no veggies either in the burger or on the side. Steaks were very over cooked and had to be sent back. Food was burne - It was really obvious with the (tasteless) nachos too, but they were served to us anyway. We had chicken nachoes and the chicken was drowned in wholegrain mustard, which wasnt specified on the menu, and my hubby hates, so they tasted quite unpleasant. The lamb confit was also burned, but fortunately it tasted OK...unlike the poor cremated veggies...”
