This is a place I have been observing for some years now, but only actually became a customer today because where we usually eat was closed. The service is friendly and fast, table service. The meals are delicious and fresh. The coffe is fantastic, as in top 1% of coffee I have tasted, not that I am a connoisseur, but I do like my coffe as ordered whisk is hot and strong. Something for everyone, vegetarian people and carnivores too and obviously a reasonable kids menu as it is situated in the childrens hospital at Westmead. Clean eating areas, well stocked tables with rock salt and cracked pepper. Plenty of sugar and sweeteners. Table water not a problem and I even saw a customer get served ice with her table water. Accomodating and friendly business. Lots of cakes too and fresh juices. Eat in or take away.

I just had breakfast here. They provided a good service despite them being under the pump at the time. The food didn't take too long. I thought the price of the meal was a little high...until I saw how much food there was - a very generous serving. Very polite staff.

I eat at this place whenever we are up at the hospital. The food is fresh and filling, it has a good selection and it really takes you away from the hospital vibe. Eftpos is available and I really like the new layout they have, it makes it much more open at the checkout area.
