The Cafe was busy and crowded, being Father's Day, but staff were very efficient and capable. The tables were a bit close together, so felt a tad claustrophobic, but despite this we had a fun time.

This is a very pleasant cafe, with good food, good service, and if you are outside, good views. We had lunch, the poke bowl, tasty and healthy, then coffee and cake. We had a thoroughly good time. I recommend sitting outside if you can, it was a little noisy inside when we were there.

The man who was taking orders and the first person you saw was abrupt and not very welcoming. Everything else was lovely. I would recommend not to be stingy on the avocado tomato and feta dish.

Three of us had lunch here on a freezing cold Canberra winter’s day. The café was packed, but service was still very quick and efficient. Our drinks arrived promptly, and the food not long after. We had ordered fish and chips and a pasta dish, and it was all very good and tasty.

Limited, uninteresting menu. Maybe okay for a coffee after seeing the gallery, but not worth going to otherwise.
