I dined in for the first time today with my friends and had a great experience. The staff are lovely and caring individuals. One of my friends had accidentally cut her finger and was bleeding, the young girl with the glasses went out of her way to get us a bandaid as they had none left The other staff who served us were very attentive, offering water, salt and pepper etc. Food was phenomenal and coffee was yummyyyy, I even got a cute bear on my latte!!

They have the cutest latte art, a serious attention to detail, and genuinely friendly service. It’s the kind of café where you can feel the care in everything they do. I often find myself inviting friends to go there — it’s just that kind of place you keep coming back to.

Well I’m a bit disappointed. I ordered a breakfast bruschetta and it is not what i expected, my bad that I didn’t read the description properly but on the website the picture is very different to what i actually got. I thought it was meant to come with diced tomatoes (like bruschetta is meant to have) and a piece of bacon, but I got neither. And to top it off there was a hair on my egg, but lucky I wasn’t eating the egg because there was no option to remove it on the website when I ordered it. I do not think that my meal was worth the $20 I paid for it and I’m very disappointed that I didn’t get what the picture showed. My partner had the eggs Benny and he said it was nice nothing overly amazing. The service was good and the atmosphere was good, lots of people were also there. I think that this company needs to update their website to show what you will actually get when you order the item because I was very disappointed with the result. And it’s over priced.

Just had Ruh’s delicious Chat Brekky. What a refreshing change to find on a cafe menu - and in a shopping centre! There’s plenty more to choose from on the menu too. The barista also served up a cat on my cappuccino too. Very cool.

Already a regular but after trying the new Burrata Salad I can confidently say this is the best salad I have ever eaten - fresh, creamy and a fantastic combination of flavour. Will be making it a fortnightly staple!
