These are the best pies in Australia. There are so many varieties like chicken and camembert, beef stroganoff, crocodile, kangaroo teriyaki, and thai green lamb curry. There must be at least 50 different varieties. The pastry is not too thick and never soggy. The prices are good for the quality you get.

Enjoyed sitting there on a Saturday afternoon. Relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. Very cosy, but minimalist in design The chai latte, pumpkin and feta rolls and chocolate mousse cake are to die for.

Went there for breakfast on my day off. Very clean restaurant. Staff were attentive. The coffee was good. Ordered a mushroom omelette and it was beautiful. Look forward to going back again.

Approximate cost: $16

Went there for lunch with a couple of friends. Sat down at the table and then realised that you have to get the menu yourself and order at the counter. I ordered a chicken salad and a latte. They brought out my friend's coffee, then two of the salads. When we were halfway through they brought out my other friends lunch. Then the other friends drink. They completely forgot my latte. The salad was nice and a good size meal. The latte was great. Took another friend there for coffee on a Sunday afternoon. Once again the coffee was great, but when asked if they had any gluten free cakes in their cabinet, the girl told me she did not know as the girl who knows about it had gone home. Service really needs improvement. Our order was once again delivered all over the place.

The coffee is always spot on and although lunch was a little expensive it had so much flavour. The eatery was clean, a beautiful spot to sit on a sunny day. Will go there for coffee more often.

Approximate cost: $30
