I had heard many mixed reviews for this place, apparently there has been quite a few owners who have tried to give the place a new image. I went in with no expectations, I found the owner to be really pleasant, very keen to impress! The food was a bit over priced for the basic cafe food options, but I imagine the rental for the space is the reason behind this. The cafe is large with a really nice seating area out the back, great place to grab a coffee and read a book, one of my favorites in Carnegie.

I had heard good things about this cafe, my partner and I went and ordered a big breakfast, scrambled, and a toastie. It was the worst big breakfast I have ever had, the eggs were so tough and over cooked, the tomatoes and mushrooms had no flavor and everything was just bland. The toastie was average. I will not be going back in a hurry - i'm unsure if we just went on a bad day

Approximate cost: $10-20

I am a local and vote this the best cafe providing the best coffee in the area. I like my coffee strong ,with full body but not leaving a bitter after taste or served too hot. I come here several times a week either dine in or take away as I am confident to receive consistent quality coffee and food. The new owners are very friendly and happy to accomodate any tastes/preferences. Try the chicken and avocado - i request it on gourmet multigrain bread - substantial serving size and so yum!

Approximate cost: $10-15

Nice looking spacious cafe with several seating areas both indoor and ourdoor. It's visually one of the better spots in this shopping strip. The food is pretty good, nothign spectacular. The coffee is fine. The service was friendly but except for the initial 'hello' it's almost non-existent (unless the owner serves you). The courtyard is very cute but there is an off smell - we couldn't work out of it was potplant manoure or the toilets. Since the prices are not competitive here as compared to any other good inner city cafe, I have to say it's not really good value for money.

Great coffee and a good selection of food to choose from. A good place to sit and chat. Friendly staff will see to your needs. A fantastic place to have that morning coffee on the week end with a toasted sandwich or two.

Wonderful little place - love the eating are out the back, open air but nice and quiet as it backs onto the car park rather than onto the main road. Lovely food, great service, one of my husbands and my favourite weekend brekky spots in the area.

Nice location amidst the busy Koornang street, ideal place for a break after strolling in Carnegie. Nice coffee, place is a bit small yet cozy and comfortable (i.e. nice place to chat with friends while having coffee).

The coffee was great, the food was beautiful, the service was with a smile, and the atmosphere was simply enjoyable. I would definitely go back for some more great moment. Thank You

although I've spent a week in this cafe it is by far the most relaxed and enjoyable place i have been to, the food is delicious weather hot or cold everything at fig jam isn't right on the money
