A real fave for brunch when I’m in Armidale. The service can be a little slow as everything is prepared fresh, but it is always worth the wait!!
I love the food and the people who work there are so lovely, I had my dinner takeaway from Sada (one of the chiefs) and I must say it was amazing!!!!!!! 💯 recommend it!
So darn delicious. It doesn't just look good in photos, it is actually delectable. My chef partner was drooling over their shiitake mushrooms in the Ramen and could not for the life work out how you got them to be that delicious, settled for it being a trade secret.
Dropped in here on our last day in Armidale, and couldn't believe we didn't find it sooner. The Breakfast ramen was utterly amazing. Seriously considering driving from the Gold Coast on a regular basis just for this. Coffee also was great and even came with a bit of unicorn latte art. The staff are very welcoming and know their craft well.
Enjoyable experience. Dinner on a Saturday night - without reservations it’s unlikely you’ll be able to dine here due to social distancing requirements. Staff are friendly & upbeat - we were seated promptly & the menu & specials explained. Corkage is $5 per head. What surprised us was how delicious everything was. Asian flavours were beautifully balanced & serve sizes adequate. Oysters were fresh & the gyozas were good (although we felt the skin was a little too thick). The fried chicken with dipping sauce was superb & best of all - their ramen was authentic & delicious. Enjoyed our dinner very much & highly recommend if you visit Armidale & looking for something different. Well done!
Best corn fritters I've ever had. Absolutely loved the flavor combo. The coffee was lovely and the coffee art was amazing.
Tasty treats & mouthwatering meals — hot coffee one of the best Cafes in Armidale — Karage chicken burger & grilled Chicken halloumi salad— great taste & presentation!!!
One of the few options open at 0700am. Scrambled eggs on sourdough with extras of a hash brown and mushrooms...scrambled eggs were first class...perfect and the experience will be hard to replicate. Yum. The other dish were the edamame and corn fritters. Definitely this had an oriental twist with the addition I think of five spice. Very nice, different but the spice was a little overpowering but the dish was beautifully presented and it was good to see something different attempted. Service was very friendly and the chef was a delight. HIs kitchen was open to see and was clean and tidy. The cafe had a nice atmosphere and was also clean and tidy. The background music I have to say was just that and for this I commend them. Listen of you want, but you are not forced to take in some other persons musical taste.
Coffee was great, latte art was amazing, and the food I got was tasty and well priced
Love this place!!! Wish we could bring it with us. Epic fritters and ramen so fresh and flavourful, the avocado was perfect too which I rate highly as many cafes serve weird avo😂 such lovely staff, a wonderful little family business. The pure Macha was elite and the coffee art brightened my day! Thanks guys. Ready for the road again.
