Random find and stop in between jobs for a quick coffee. Ended up eating in, completely enticed by the homemade dim sims in the steamer. Tiny little place, not much seatings. Owner (I'm guessing) working on her own but incredibly efficient. Between the two already ordered, and waiting, plus two other customers in line, plus me. there were no delays in my food and order coming out. Oh and the dim sim was amazing.

Small tiny little "nearly invisible" cafe in the middle of the street. Great quality food, drinks and generous size of cakes and lunch dishes. A great spot for a quick bite.

A nice little local cafe with a small seating area for about 10 people inside. We had 2 medium coffees in a large mug, a breakfast burrito and a bacon and egg burger. The burrito was warm and tasty however had a tad too much pepper for my liking. The bacon and egg burger looked nice too. We will be back again!

I ordered the fish wrap and then had some banana bread, and enjoyed both. The lady was very friendly and when I was deciding, she was keen to ensure that I was going to be happy with what I ordered. Recommend!
