Very fresh food with interesting flavor combinations and high-quality ingredients. The service is extremely hectic, literally running through the space, bumping against chairs. I had one of the waiters bumping a water jug against my head, then bumping into my chair. The restaurant is very packed with tables and chairs, with almost no space for the waiters to move. Obviously trying to maximize profit, unfortunately at the cost of a welcoming enjoyable atmosphere.
Also they are discriminating against solo guests and singles. It is not possible to get a seat if you are alone.

Nice café with a great atmosphere and friendly service. The space is well designed and comfortable, making it a pleasant place to sit and relax. The food is nicely presented, though the flavours are quite simple and didn’t stand out much. Coffee was smooth and easy to drink. Overall, a good spot for the ambience and service, with room for improvement on the food side.

Great place for brunch. Absolutely delicious options (went for the daily special grilled peach with Prosciutto and burrata on waffle). Great coffee too, can highly recommend. Make a reservation as the place is busy for good reasons.

There was a queue to get into this restaurant so we thought this must be that restaurant that will make us go "wow". That was, perhaps, the wrong assumption (atleast, the way it turned out for us).
Maybe we ordered the wrong dishes. Don't know. It was Smoked Salmon on Waffle and Barramundi on some saffron infused potatoes. Sounds exciting, right?
The waffle was soft like a napkin. When we asked about it to the waitress, she was like "thats how it's supposed to be". Well then we must've eaten in places that made them crispy by mistake.
The Barramundi on the saffron infused potato was another level altogether! One bite into the shrimp in sauce which was on the saffron potatoes created an infusion which is difficult to explain in words. It was like someone put some naphthalene balls in the food. Later we guessed it must've been the saffron. Too much Saffron to be exact, which gave the dish that chemical taste. Our palates just couldn't take it. May need to tweek this combination.
We ordered the waffles with strawberries, candied banana and chocolate ice cream, hoping it will get rid of the naphthalene taste in our mouth and also get to eat some crunchy waffle. Wrong again. The waffles were not crispy again. When asked, they said they were pre-made waffles. Our bill was $115. We have eaten better meals for far less!!
Anyways, hope these remarks will be taken constructively, rather than as criticism.
All the best!!

Head to the Grain Store for a not-so-usual breakfast. An Asian twist on some of the menu items is a welcome change to the standard egg offering. If anything, they can probably afford to take one thing off the plate for the more elaborate dishes. Coffee is reliably good and the cafe has a lovely, warm casual feel. Get the side of mushrooms because they’re magically moreish.
