Visit for lunch with a group of 12 - service was really good from the ladies. Various food & beverage selection - had a mango smoothie & thai beef salad. Both presented well and taste good. Overall cosy restaurant tucked away from the busy main road.
This cafe is one of my top cafes because there are a variety of menus and great service.
Thanks for such a lovely brunch š„°
We always enjoy the kimchi fried rice!
We came for brunch on a cold wet Saturday. Very cosy spot and welcoming staff. We had the Braised Pork Benedict Buns....omg I am hooked!! This is the best brunch meal I have ever had. The combination of the pork, eggs, siracha hollandaise and the bao bun has me salivating. Will definitely be back, very soon.
We came for lunch and were not disappointed. We were quickly seated and given menus. The vegetarian (salad) meal we both ordered was excellent (the dressing excellent and apparently homemade) the coffee lovely and the place lovely and clean. Parking was a breeze too, will definitely be back
Absolutely delightful little tucked away cafe on the way to Albany mall. The prices are comparable to, say, Coffee Club, but the food is so superior. I had the Thai Beef Salad which was super delicious, and a Strawberry smoothie which was presented beautifully. All the food was really good and the staff were on the ball. Will definitely be coming back
The best Bao on the north shore āpulled Pork on Chinese style sweat white bunā.
Iāve tried several Bao style pork bun dishes on the North Shore, Willow does the best. A Must try. Coffee and setting and other dishes are also great.

Lovely food and friendly staffs. My son liked the chicken and mushroom pasta very much. There aren't many places have decent kids meal, this is definitely a plus for us to visit again. The butter chicken is also very testy.
Great little spot I'm Albany. Went there for breakfast on a Sunday and had a great time. Ordered the big breakfast style dish. Would recommend coming down for breakfast/brunch.
Lovely cafe. Service was great. Food was great too, we ordered eggs bene and pork bun but wait time was little longer than expected as it was not that crowded. Overall, quite pleased though. Highly recommend this place :)
The staff were absolutely lovely, very prompt service and ensuring we were enjoying our time in the cute cafe. I got a coffee and the lemongrass tacos. The coffee was good! The tacos were great! The only slight catch is they can be a little messy as there was ALOT of dressing on the salad, unsure if maybe they accidentally put too much. None the less I enjoyed my meal at this cafe and woile recommended āŗļø
Amazing Cafe and super service. Highly recommend.
We had the French toast and smash avocado. With a bottled juice and oat milk caramel latte. Our order came out super quick even though it was quite busy.
Delicious French toast with a good selection of fruits and extras. The smash avoās toast wasnāt too hard either.
Special thanks to Connor for his great waiting.
Good atmosphere with nice clean tables and cool styled utensils and dishes.
Will definitely be back again to explore the menu.
Nice cafe, a bit of a challenge to find parking but is well worth the it.
Surrounded by businesses how they have set it up you do notice them & not noisy. Food & staff were wonderful & made sure we were well looked after.

We attended today for a staff lunch as my managers father passed away. We wanted to cheer her up. The food was lovely. I asked our waitress for aioli for the curly fries. I waited 10 Mins and looked around for some assistance. She finally brought the aioli and I thanked her. I assumed she would walk away but she told me āsorry for the wait but If you see that Iām busy you should ask someone elseā.
I said āI didnāt realise I was supposed to ask someone elseā. She gave me a dirty look and stormed off.
Iām appalled that she started an argument about aioli on such a sensitive occasion. It was embarrassing and totally unprofessional.
Iād think twice about coming back.

What a fantastic cafe with delicious food and super friendly service.
I had the chicken satay salad which was yummy and a really good coffee.
Lovely brunch here today. They were super busy but nice vibe. Coffee came out before the food, which was great, and it was great coffee. Food was nice and also quick to come out, and all meals came out together, which was fab.
The kindest and most attentive staff I have experienced thus far. Had a tall young gentleman waiter, lower themselves to match the eye level with a customer. Great to see such care and service.
Thank you staff šš
This place is quite popular. Had their pork belly Benedict bao, unfortunately the pork was dry. Would be nice to have some greens beside it to cut down the richness and sweetness. Smoothie was pretty good. The big breakfast really loaded up the bacon, but some beans would have helped tie the dish together as it was overall quite dry. Good and friendly service.
Stopped here for a business meeting where we ended up eating. Sorry no photos but I had the open omelet with Salmon which was delicious and rather large - I needed a takeaway dish. The convenience of stopping here coming from North was easy but finding the Cafe was a little more tricky as it is hidden away and has limited parking. The outside area would be lovely in the sun. The staff were helpful and the owners lovely.
What a great local cafe - this is a well oiled machine. Willow ticks all the boxes - friendly and efficient staff, great coffee, great selection of cabinet food and lovely indoor-outdoor flow. We ended up just people-watching for a while because I couldnāt get over how well run the place was. I donāt think the waitresses ever stopped, they always had their eyes on the floor to make sure everyone was being looked after. Kudos to the owners.
