Feb 06, 2026"Lovely little cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outside in the courtyard as we had our dog with us. Service was quick with water and menus delivered to our table almost as soon as we sat down. We ordered chilli scramble and the haloumi and eggs stack. Both were delicious and very filling. There were many more items I'd like to try, so we'll definitely be back."

Regularly come here to eat in on the weekends, or get a take away if I need to rush off. A great place for a coffee after North Sydney parkrun, or if you’re on the way to the Victoria Cross metro. Thanks Ping and team!"
