  • Eggs on Toast (gfo/v): Choose your eggs, poached or fried, served on thick-cut sourdough. Then, make it your own with plenty of customisation options: scrambled eggs, double bacon, sautéed mushrooms, creamy avo, or a crispy hash brown.

• Toasties & Light Bites:

  • Ham & Cheese Toastie: Our thick-cut sourdough is generously filled with smoked ham and rich, melted cheese. It’s simple, classic, and always hits the spot.

• Avocado Lovers Rejoice:

  • Avocado Toast (v): Chunky avocado is piled high on sourdough, topped with whipped feta, spiced labneh, pickled onion, vibrant goji berries, a refreshing house vinaigrette & fennel salad, all dusted with earthy dukkah. Add a perfectly poached egg or some double bacon.

• Egg Specials With a Twist:

  • Bacon Benny (gfo): We start with thick-cut toasted sourdough, then layer it with double bacon, two perfectly poached eggs, and lashings of creamy hollandaise. Served with our zesty house-pickled fennel salad and a golden hash brown.
  • Chilli Scramble (gfo/v): Our house-made chilli scrambled eggs are layered on sourdough, topped with whipped feta and crunchy pickled guindilla peppers, all drizzled with our irresistible house-made crispy chilli oil.

• Sandwiches:

  • Veggie Sando (v): Roasted sweet potato & capsicum, grilled halloumi, fresh spinach, tangy pickled onion, and our vibrant house verde mayo, all tucked into thick-cut sourdough.
  • Reuben Sando: Tender pastrami, zesty sauerkraut, crunchy house pickles, Swiss cheese, and our creamy house-made polish mayo, all generously layered on thick-cut sourdough.
