A must-try local gem! This café is just around the corner from my work, and after a few colleagues raved about their bagels, I had to check it out—so glad I did! The bagel was absolutely delicious—fresh, full of flavour, and perfectly toasted. Great quality and really well priced too. It totally lived up to the hype and didn’t disappoint. If you’re nearby, it’s definitely worth a visit!

My son was looking for a bagel shop and we found this cafe. The staff are very friendly, the food is delicious and coffee is one of the best I've had. We've been twice already. We had the egg and bacon bagel and latte. Keep up the great service

Been coming here since just a bit before the owners changed, and the quality of food and service has only improved since! The coffee is easily the best in Caroline Springs. The food is really well priced and tasty, so we've started coming here every weekend as a treat to ourselves.

Fried egg bagel was good (cheese, hasbrown, avo, bacon), the staff were friendly and smiley, price point was great. It had some busy moments while we were there, shows it has repeat customers.

Delicious food. Fantastic customer service. Hands down the best coffee in the area. Oftentimes, I will arrive late to work just so I can get a coffee in the morning. My only gripe is that my pants no longer fit. It’s hard to say no to those for focaccias, paninis and the bacon and egg rolls

Its my first time coming to the Cafe and this cafe is absolutely lovely, i noticed whoever came in they would actually say morning to everyone which i thought was very sweet their packaging is also very thoughtful. They packaged my fresh juice in a can which was very surprising. Its actually my first time seeing it. Definitely coming back again here.
