This place has emerged as something different. No, not Beyoncé vs Taylor different...actually different. The service is as ground down as curry spices. Seriously, sometimes it makes me cry that they can't see the joy in helping people, who in turn help them. Except on public holidays; when a lady comes in that is the epitome of great service culture. The meals are twists on the south American experience, with dollops of incongruence from other parts of the world. The standard brekkie stuff is there too, but with twists and quality. The coffee is among the best you'll ever have. Wish they had grain toast, but the rest is A+.

Lovely coffee, lovely food, lovely atmosphere. The Carribbean influence is felt on that ham and cheese sandwich with the addition of the spices. They're also pet-friendly as I saw a couple of patrons chill outside with their pets while having a cup.

The fruit bowl was as delicious as it was beautiful. We also love the arepas which are so good and authentic. We have been coming here for years and it's our favourite local brunch spot!

My go to for morning coffee and friendly atmosphere, always someone interesting to chat too. Currently eating this beautifully presented and full favour curry - highly recommend. Also I play music and quite fussy, so will literally have to leave a place if the music is off, these guys play the best tunes south of the Caribbean.

I went with a couple I know. The store was clean and the staff were friendly and cute I ordered the Caribbean curry with chicken. The spiciness is just right, and the texture of the brown rice, nuts, and beans enhance the flavor. The coffee is delicious and it's a recommended place⭐︎
