Walking down O’Connell Street, I was drawn to this cafe because even from a distance I felt it would have some healthy options as I could see lots of fresh fruit. It’s a little pocket rocket, with inside and outside seating, fresh tailor made juices, Vietnamese salad bowls and rolls made to order, beaty music, fresh air and pretty laid back. This is the perfect healthy eat and run for your lunch hour spot. AND Coffee lovers (says the one shot shooter) I believe a happy crew always make a good brew, and this did not fail for me this time. The coffee was super smooth.

I had my first hot matcha here and it was so pretty and so good. It was so lovely, delicately made and made with lots of passion. I also had the ham and cheese crossiant I believe and it was so good. Wish it was just a bit more hot, but then again it was freezing when I was there. the asian employee is so polite and understanding. One of the best cafes I've been too.

We love both the roast pork banh mi and latte here. We come every week. It is a part of life: friendly owner, small but home like place, people walk by…

Had the crackling pork bread roll and Vietnamese iced coffee which were delicious. The owners were lovely. It's a small eatery so great for takeaway.

Had the combination salad with roast pork banh mi and cracking pork. Savoury. Love the chewy texture of the noodle too. Worth it. Staff are really welcoming and friendly too.
