What a pleasure it was stumbling upon this fine establishment. The place has cool vibes and the staff were super friendly. I’m currently on the hunt for Auckland’s best iced latte and these fine operators have placed very highly. It’s a 9.2/10 from me, and a result to be proud of. Thanks team!

The vibes of the cafe is a throwback to the 90s with the old school classic songs playing and posters all over the walls. There was even a little garden in the back where you can relax! It was raining today so I stayed inside, but next time I visit on a sunny day I’ll try the garden spot to have my coffee ☕️🪴

Friendly staff, chill vibes and beautiful looking food. I didn’t have time to stop in so will be back to try the breakfasts asap. The coffee was smooth and tasty. Highly recommend a visit.

Firstly, we ate a very tasty breakfast. The espresso drinks were not outstanding, but passable. The dining room atmosphere was pretty poor though. It was a chilly Saturday morning but the dining room was not heated. We ate with our jackets on. There were pictures of old rock stars on the walls, but the music that was playing was from Disney movies. Weird. Probably better as a take away, or in summer weather when outdoor seating is appropriate.

Despite initial concerns about pricing due to some reviews, I found their offerings quite reasonable, particularly given the current market rates. But what truly set the experience apart was their exquisite pie. Boasting a perfect blend of flaky crust and robust fillings, their pie was a culinary delight, eliminating the need for me to venture as far as Kumeu Pie Shop. With quality that outpaces its price, Big Beat Cafe gets a well-deserved five stars from me. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking superb food at a fair price. Their pie is, in a word, rocking!

Such a cute cosy little cafe, food was delicious and coffee was great too. I ordered a Shakshuka and partner got the truffle mushroom on toast. Very flavorful and perfect for a winter brunch/lunch

It was a hangover day for us lol we ordered what you see in the pic plus 2 cold drinks and 2 hot drinks everything was nice and tasty. Friendly greeting from staff. Fast service considering the place was pretty busy at the time. First time there and discovered the backyard which is really great feature for the Cafe and comfortable. Our order was quite expensive around $90 but very fulfilling. We walked out full bellies and happy

Such a lovely place with nice staff and amazing food😋 Two of us had Eggs benedict, Omelette and Karaage chicken. Eggs benedict was great in taste and ita presentation, and it also had handmade hashbrown which was very unique. Also, the korean-style chicken and the sauce were one of the best in Auckland!

Not really fair to call it a review, I was here so fast and for my first time. I had a quick coffee and a steak sandwich and it was on point. Staff and atmosphere also great. I'll definitely come again

Delicious food, great coffee and welcoming staff.
Don't forget to bring you dog and enjoy your breakfast in the back yard

So friendly! Nice staff and clean. Was also very delicious meal and coffee tasted great.

Oh my god, I cant tell how much I love this place! Very nice service and place, very relaxing. They have a big back garden as well, quiet and lovely! The Korean guy maybe the owner, very nice service.
Alison Toia
Just had labtest so popped over for morning coffee. Excellent latte and love all the quirky posters - spent far too long on loo checking them all out. There is also a lovely garden out back

I Appreciate for grant my request in my meal. Customer service excellent..cool ambiance..
Erik JEONG
The staff was so kind and helpful. The food was nice as well<br/>

The new owners have seriously turned this place around. The new menu provides a good selection of tasty choices and the cabinet boasts a decent number of yummy snacks and sweet treats. The service is amazing and super friendly, the new owner took the time to remember our names and treats us on occasion with his experimental drinks 😊 Highly recommend this cafe for everyone!
Michael Ranjitsingh
Had an excellent Egg Benedict here. The outdoor area at the back is really nice but you only see it if you go around searching for toilets. Service is decent. Standard cafe prices. Can get busy at times.
Cath Carberry
Come on Big Beat get your act together. Only cafe in Balmoral... Stop me from driving to get decent food and coffee. New menu great - but seriously...the food extras are well over priced. I do not want shares in your business... just a slice of bread or bacon.. Total cost for extras $12.00 SERIOUSLY. New lady with long hair... sits and has her break at busy times - we all cue up and she sits till she is finished. Great Service - move her on! Big Beat, I have given you years to sort yourself out. I am out!
Sabrina Pereira
I don’t get all the bad reviews! This place is lovely and food is delicious (bit expensive but yum). I love the courtyard out the back as well.
Mia
The breakfast food here is great! as with the coffee and the lovely male barista with the beard. But the cabinet foods are sub par. The pies and Sausage roll smell and taste like dog food. Everything else is a bit stale. Come on big beat invest in some better meat! For the amount you charge for your food that shouldn’t be hard.
Boty
Good coffee stop in Balmoral. Food is good, the place has a great outdoor area in the back. It is a good place for functions too. Coffee could improve a bit more.
Allison Doody
Well these guys sell ham and cheese toasters. I asked if I could change the filling. One ham and cheese add an egg. One cheese tomato and egg. I said if it cost extra that was no problem at all. After the lady at the counter asked an Asian lady who asked another dude it was decided that no, I could not deviate at all from the menu. I would have happily paid the $24 it was going to cost plus extra on top. Not only that but I was going to buy two pies and four cakes of some sort. Seems the staff here are lazy and don’t care about missing a sale. Not only that but I was a very regular customer then moved out of the area. I have just moved back and they would have seen me 2-4 times a week. Now big bear you have lost my custom, my partners and I will not recommend you to anyone. Poor attitude all round and I feel sorry for the owner that he/she has careless lazy staff with a bad attitude. I spend around $250-300 per week at cafes due to work but you guys won’t be seeing a penny. I’

The coffees I had today were great, and one had a cute bunny face picture on it!! Roast veggie foccacia was also very good. Friendly staff. Will go back.
Maikolo33
Great coffee, supreme coffee. Decent portion sizes and a wide variety of tasty food. The staff are great, always very friendly! lots of parking options right out the front too.
Misscocolitten
This is my local and I was really excited when it first opened. However after a few visits I decided not to go back ever again because the owner is an old miserable man that does not know anything about customer service. <br/>I'm still surprised why he would run the place, better stay home and let the staff provide a far better service than he ever can. <br/>
Charlotte Lucas
A favourite cafe to visit during my lunch break. Fast service. Pretty good, pretty good! Have some nice options in the cabinet . Will return again for coff3e no doubt
Pargat Singh Virk
Nice coffee & and cafe.will recommend to my family and friends. Love the food and coffee.<br/>It was sunny day and sitting area at back was really good .
Colin Cleave
I love the food coffee and the grumpy manager/owner<br/>The atmosphere is great outside area private too. This place is unique now in dominion rd<br/>
Vii Davies
Pleasant service and excellent coffee (Supreme) with fern leaf latte art. Both of us had the Sticky Pork Sandwich which could better be described as pork belly sandwich. It was delicious though I would not have ordered it had it been described on the menu as pork belly - which only goes to show!! Quite a small menu which in my book is a good thing as long as you can find something you really like - which of course I did.
Juliana Machado
I didn't like it the first time I went there, the owner is extremely rude.<br/>The second time I went there the owner wasn't around so the service was much better and I could actually pay attention to how good my breakfast was. <br/>I definitely would go there more often if it wasn't for the bad service.
Sandi
Love this place! Great coffee. Excellent cabinet food and a good breakfast and lunch menu. The staff are friendly and the owner is always good for conversation and a bit of a laugh.<br/><br/>What more could you want in your local cafe?
Coz I Can
Its a bit stuffy inside but i loved having breaky in the garden. This place although was way too pricey for what came out. Very underwhelming at the tastes of the food. The outdoor seating in the garden us probbly the best thing about this place.
Karien
Thought I'd pop in here this morning to have some brekkie as i always drive past and the name is so cool. When I saw the prices of the food I thought damn it must be awsome for it to be that expensive.. well... <br/>At this moment I was standing at the till waiting to be served.the barista told me "I'll be with you in a moment" after a few minutes, I asume it's the manager or even the owner, came in behind the till. Not saying a word.so I said good morning to him. Still no word, not even a smile...just nothing... and I'm there like..." ok I'll have the eggs Benny and a fw" <br/>He replied with " that wil be $23". So I said thank you,took my number and sat down.. still nothing from him. 😕 I'm just shocked with the service.<br/>The meal was pretty good! Loved it! <br/>Coffee is good.a bit on the cold side but the right temp for me.<br/>The place could do with a bit of jiff and a scrub as the walls and doors where that of a fast food takeaway shop.<br/>Love the little courtyard at the back.would be good to chill out with the family for lunch.<br/>Over all it was good that no one (staff) was in your face the whole time like in some other cafes.. would definitely go back to try something of the lunch menu.<br/>Rate this 3.5 as the food makes up for the lack of service. Thanx chef!! :-)
Rebecca MacDonald
A cute little cafe on dominion road, complete with big prints adorning the walls of musicians. There is an outdoor courtyard but as it was raining on the day I visited I sat at the table in the window and watched the world go by. I wasn't too hungry so skipped the meals on the menu and choose a chocolate croissant from the tempting selection of savoury and sweet pastries and scones at the counter. Along with my coffee the perfect start to a rainy Saturday morning!
Nicola Grace
Coffee was good (though a little pricey), the service not so much. The guy who served me was more miserable and cold than the day outside. I'd intended to purchase some counter food to take away but it looked as uninspired as its server, so I left with just the coffee.
Karl Swart
We found it hard to pick something to eat. The prices were okay but not real value for money. The Calamari was good but didn't come with chips. The fish of the day tasted a little stale. Not the worst place I've been but won't go back.
MommyYummy
Nice coffe and courtyard. They have the kiwi classics for breakfast and lunch: Eggs Benedict, French Toast , Spanish Baked eggs, Pancakes, Fruit etc. Good Coffee. Service is not the warmest they charge you and deliver that's all. <br/>Mommy Friendly:? Yes, 👪 enough space for trolly and Menu for the Kids. I didn't see changing room.
Annie Jean
Well I was really expecting something groovy from Big Beats, I expected some kind of hipster cafe on dominion road but the food was a huge let down ! It's another roadside cafe, nothing exciting at all. Im extremely gutted i had to give a bad rating, I think the owners really need to read people's comments and fix the problems. Food was heated but less than warm, it wasn't tasty at all. I thought the sauce would spice it up a bit. It didn't. Cost $16 for a vegetable slice, small and a green tea. The service was OK, I can't complain he was chatty with me... it's just the food! Sorry guys :(
Tina Wu
Been there twice, very bad service and over charged me on both occasion. Is it that hard to add up the numbers in your head? Maybe a calculator would work..unless they are doing it on purpose. If anyone do go, make sure they charge you the right amount! Food was crap too. wouldn't go back again
Kate
Pretty good food generally (their slices are really delish!!) but the service is atrocious - like a previous reviewer mentioned, it really is like you're inconveniencing them when they take your order at the counter. Sometimes you'll just stand there and they'll look at you (or not even make eye contact) and not say anything - a "Good morning, what could I get for you?" would be a great start guys. The only reason I go back is because it's so close to home. Just depressing really hahah.
Samantha Lines
We stopped here while I was moving out of my old house. A friend of mine gave the place rave reviews but when we went inside, there was nothing on the menu that truly appealed to me. We ended up just having something to drink.<br/>While the staff weren't rude or hostile, they weren't particularly warm and welcoming either. I felt a bit like I was inconveniencing them by just ordering something to drink. The till is squeezed into a very small space that limits open flow and movement around the cafe which is a real shame because I felt like I was being jostled around (even though there was only one other couple waiting to order) while I made my decision. <br/>I had a hot chocolate in the end and we sat at a table for two instead of the bigger tables that we knew would be needed for brunch soon.<br/>The staff rushed past quite quickly to get to the outdoor seating area and spent a lot of time going back and forth. I feel putting a table in an access way was a mistake as it made us feel incredibly uneasy. The decor was lovely with big black and white prints on the wall and some beautiful greenery. The outdoor seating area looks cosy too with blankets, throws and pillows.<br/>Unfortunately my hot chocolate was luke warm at best but I did get a chocolate fish with it so that was a nice surprise. My boyfriend had one of the bottled drinks. <br/>Overall I wouldn't go back to Big Beat Cafe because I didn't enjoy my first experience there and the prices are a bit high.
Coffee4two
Excellent breakfast & good coffee, recommended :)
Sonia Alex
Four of us had lunch here today. thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere outside in the beautiful garden courtyard.<br/>Coffee and food were great too.
Scott Stratford
$12.50 dollars for a cold burrito (Yum cold mince for lunch) Rude and unfriendly man serving (Who I would assume is the owner) I definitely do not recommend this cafe. I do not write reviews but felt I needed to from my experience in the cafe.
Christine Marsh
We have lived around the corner from this cafe for 14 years and were really excited when Paul came in and did up the toilets and made the outdoor setting look so beautiful.<br/>Unfortunately, after frequenting this cafe many many times, I give up.<br/>I find the food to be flavourless (or oversalted - in the case of the hash). But sadly, it's the service that I cant bear. The owner has an overly complicated till, which is consistently making mistakes, and means that no-one ever looks at you. I could live with this, but prefer my new local - Orvieto, where they actually say hello using my name! I'm a big cafe fan, and buy my lunch most days, and my kids lunch most weekends. <br/>The owner is way too precious with his beautiful cafe - you actually feel uncomfortable in there with kids. I personally dont believe the guy likes kids. Well, at least he's never smiled at mine!!<br/>He may be intelligent - but Paul the owner needs to get the hell out of the cafe, and let the beautiful young people do what they do best!! Make you feel good about yourself.<br/>Too late for me though - I don't believe the owner deserves another opportunity to put things right with me, I'll just take my business elsewhere
Julian McCarthy
The Big Beat is terrific - what a beautiful garden setting out the back - plenty of room , incredibly relaxing, & terrific coffee ! <br/> <br/>To the earlier review that complained about the owner's manner, - I say: the owner is actually a very intelligent, and witty character, - he isnt out the front, pouring overblown & insincere greetings to everyone who walks in the door, but puts in the hard work out the back, and is indeed an interesting and engaging person to talk to. <br/><br/>This place is a refreshing change from some of the 'seal breeding colony' scenarios that pass for cafes in Auckland. <br/><br/>We, and several of our friends love it !
Chloe Jurgens
Big Beat is our semi-local and we love it.<br/><br/>having now been at least a dozen times, I find it unbelievable that this cafe could get any less than 4 stars. <br/>We have tried a number of things from both the breakfast and lunch menu - my partner is addicted to the eggs benedict, so struggles not to get that every time we go. The eggs benedict (and florentine) are definitely one of the better in Auckland.<br/>the coffee is great, the portion sizes are generous and the food fresh, inventive and well made. The beer garden is going to be great for summer, and can't wait for a cheeky vino outside.<br/><br/>As a point for improvement, I could definitely say that sometimes the service could be more friendly, but having lived in London for a number of years anything in NZ is better than the friendliest service there!
Sarah Anne Fletcher
I absolutely love Big Beat!<br/>It has taken the place of my local (even though it's slightly a bit out of the way).<br/>The staff are brilliant and it always a lovely experience going in!<br/>Also, because I often had kids in tow, the outdoor area is perfect! and the kids love being able to run about.
Victor Ward
Stopped by for coffee, and to be honest, it was pretty terrible. They use single espresso shots (flat whites should always be double, in my opinion) and I suspect mine was underextracted (really bad), which resulted in a very weak, milky drink and a very bland taste (even with a hint of rustiness; like their espresso machine has a water filter issue?) If you're in Balmoral and need to stop for coffee, don't - head up to Cereal Killa instead. Not to knock the guy who served me, but if my coffee was his usual standard, Big Beat needs to hire a skilled, experienced barista who knows what he's doing if they want to step it up a bit.
Deb Clarke
I am a daily visitor to Big Beat and am so glad to finally have a decent Cafe in Balmoral.<br/>I have read all the above reviews with surprise as I have always found the staff, the food and in particular the coffee, great!!!<br/>All I can suggest is that maybe you have caught a bad day but its sad if you won't give them a second chance or talk to Paul and his staff to reach a satisfactory resolve.<br/>They are only human and things can go wrong, especially when busy!<br/>Above all, they fill my coffee addiction every single day!!!!!!!!!!
Steve Thomson
Great coffee, food and service.<br/>Hoping that it will get a license for evenings soon. A nice little wine bar thing in the evenings would go down well there.<br/>On a nice day the outdoor area at the back is very pleasant and<br/>especially good if you have three kids in tow like us.
H B
I signed up to this site purely so I can vent my disgust at our experience at Big Beat. <br/><br/>It's our local and there aren't many cafes in the area but after a few bad experiences I will never be going back. <br/><br/>The main problem is the rudeness of who I assume is the owner - an older, bald man. Why work in hospitality when you obviously dislike people? He is offhand, unfriendly, unwelcoming and his attitude trickles down through the rest of the staff. <br/><br/>The food is also poor, the bread is stale and cheap, the tomatoes were old and to top it off, it's all over-priced. <br/><br/>Seriously, I hope the owner / manager reads these bad reviews and does something to fix his place because it's awful as it is.<br/><br/>UPDATE. The owner sent me this message below. Case in point that his customer service skills are terrible. The reason I didn't complain in person is because he is a horrible in person. <br/>--<br/>"I'm sorry for your unfortunate experience you had . But we have no idea what you are on about as it is unclear but if you were not happy we would have liked you to have said something there and then as complaining on social media does not address the incident with lack of facts BIGBEAT"

I've been to Big Beat a few times now and just love the brown sugar scones and the great coffee. My new favourite on the menu is the spice rubbed aubergine. It is unbeatable! I love the flavour combination - it comes with red quinoa, hummus, herb feta and toasted pita. I've had it twice now and it was really nice to have a glass of Alan Scott Pinot Gris with it the second time round. There's no doubt I'll be ordering it again on my next visit.
Maxine Foster
I ordered a cupcake and a Bacon and egg pie, take away to share with my son....it was $14...the cup cake was dry and tasteless also I could tell that they had burnt the top of it. The icing was bad, there was no taste to it but butter and it was supposed to be a chocolate cup cake. The Bacon and egg pie was ok but the top of it was so over cooked the egg was hard like a thick plastic. There's no way you could drag me back there and for $14 I expect to taste the chocolate in a chocolate cup cake....
Phillipa Gordon
I have visited Big Beat Cafe regularly for the last few months and have always found the staff friendly and welcoming. The food has been great, from the hot hearty soups or the delicious risotto. One of my favorites are the date and brown sugar scones. The coffee is consistently good.<br/>The garden area is a great addition to the cafe.<br/><br/>Will definitely continue to be a regular customer, this is a wonderful addition to the neighbourhood.
John Todd
have been in on other occasions for a scone and coffee, nothing to write home about scone very dry and crumbly but fresh , need to get new recipies <br/>Coffee was okay<br/>But had a breakfast of scrambled egs on toast the other morning<br/>What i recieved was two pieces of toast with a smattering of a grey sludge in the middle of one of the pieces of toast <br/>I didnt eaty it as it looked like sludge , all stringy , how the hell can you muck up scrambled eggs, get them of a grey colour and a string consistency , what happened to yellow fluffy scrambled eggs <br/>When I commented to staff behind the counter they couldnt have cared less <br/>wouldnt return <br/>the owner needs to take stock of what is happening around him and stop being more interested in other things , otherwise he will not survive <br/>Read all the other reviews
Jarrod
This Cafe has absolutely nothing to offer! Shocking service, shocking prices and the atmosphere is dull. The prices that they ask ($18.50 for Eggs Benedict), where you have to order your meal at the counter yourself. We had 6 people for breakfast and all eggs were overcooked, cheap fatty bacon, cold potatoe fritters not to mention the service of a fast food outlet. You would be crazy or lost to even bother going to this place. BAD BAD BAD
Julie Phelps
My local cafe but i'm unlikley to go back. I've found the food very nice, but the service is off. The young guys don't seem to know how to treat the customer. And its all rather too self service for a nice cafe.<br/><br/>Get some better staff and this place will rock.
Ash
After moving to the area, I drove by Big Beat a few times and looked forward to trying it out. <br/>I visited this morning for the first time (for a takeaway coffee only), and found the guy at the counter unwelcoming. There was no smile and no greeting. I thought he may be having a bad day, but after reading the other reviews, I see that it's a usual occurence here.<br/>Oh, and $4.50 for a SMALL latte is a rip-off.<br/>Really nice-looking cafe, but I will look for another local.
Anna Walker
This is a local gem on Dominion Road. The coffee is consistently great, the menu great (especially love the date and brown sugar scones, shredded chicken salad, spanish eggs and eggs bene on a hash) and without doubt the best outdoor area I've come across in AKL so far. We've had many a morning gathering or weekend brunch in the sun while the kids are entertained with the coloring books and pencils.<br/><br/>Surprised by the other reviews as I've heard nothing but great things from all of the other locals I know who go here!!<br/><br/>The owner also went out of his way to make my birthday lunch there a special occasion with lots of little touches to the table and the cake we had. <br/><br/>I say support this great local!
Janice Miller
We live locally and were very pleased when this cafe opened with new name and new owners.<br/>Our excitement was very short lived. After receiving poor service, we gave them the benefit of the doubt and thought maybe they were having an off day. <br/>Yesterday we made the mistake of returning, very rude service, we were made to feel as if we had a problem when we asked questions. I don't know why we didn't just walk out then. It went from bad to worse. Waited an hour for bacon and eggs and a salad. Both were tasteless and way over priced. Definitely won't be returning.
Dee Grant
I have been to Big Beat four times, and the service is consistently bad. The staff are uninterested and rude, and every time I go there my coffee order either gets forgotten or mucked up. Its a shame, because despite the terrible service, the coffee is the best in the area, but after four failed attempts, it's time for me to move on. It has become a talking point in my house, with all my flatmates experiencing the same. I can't comment on the food, as I haven't eaten there, but I will not be returning until the culture at Big Beat has changed.
Lou
We have visited Big Beat on 3 occasions now. The setting is fantastic, the food very average but the service appauling. On each visit they ave forgotten our coffees. The staff are very young, inexperienced and have too casual an approach. Such a shame as this part of Dominion Rd is crying out for a classy cafe. Big Beat certainly falls very short of the mark and is terribly disappointing
Hannah Shaw
I went to Big Beat for lunch with a friend after it was newly renovated, but don't let the nice decor and lovely courtyard fool you!<br/><br/>If you are going to charge these kinds of prices the food needs to be up to the standard. The menu is very over ambitious for an average chef. And when they got our order wrong we got told it was a miscommunication on our part and charged to get our original order.<br/><br/>I gave this cafe a 2nd go against my better judgement! I ordered something which when it came was uneatable and when I asked to change my order was told that is what I ordered there was nothing they could do. <br/><br/>The coffee is ok but the customer service and crappy food make this place a big miss!!
Lucia Florence
I recently came to Big Beat for breakfast. I ordered the Eggs Benedict for $18.50. For a price that high I expect something delicious... I was quite disappointed. The potato rosti was not crispy and tasty but soggy and lumpy. The mushrooms were bland and flavorless and it was all just thrown on the plate. The cafes renovations however are very good (The Sierra that used to be in the same location was horrible) and the coffee is very good... however if they are going to keep their prices that high they need to do some serious thinking about giving people what they pay for. This was my second Big Beat experience and the first time I had a dirty cup and a pie that had been heated in the microwave so the pastry went soggy instead of crisp and beautiful... as Big Beat is a new cafe I hope they improve.
Valentino Sigurdson
Big beat is one of the best cafes in the Mt Eden region, the coffee is on point (the baristas are exceptionally skilled and do justice to supreme coffee), they have tasty and fresh cabinet food, and an awesome healthy modern menu. <br/><br/>The courtyard is wonderfully done and the staff is very friendly. <br/><br/>The only downside is finding parking on a busy Sunday afternoon but don't let this stop you from visiting this place.
Stacey Head
Coffee was bad, food was bad and service was even worse. Not interested in keeping happy customers.<br/>When we complained about a meal we were told that was what we ordered and that was that - however when they also mucked up one of our orders it seemed it was our fault for not ordering properly.<br/>Disappointing all round and won't be back.
Dondon3000
This is my my local when I have my son as we ride our bikes there. <br/><br/>Not a bad selection of counter food, I liked the corn beef sandwich and they have beer too which is not overly priced. <br/><br/>However the service lacking from some staff members and tables are dirty. On a quiet patch it should be cleared and prepared for another rush instead I do find them talking and eating behind the counter. <br/><br/>Coffee was fine nothing to rave home about. I had a stand fw in a tulip. I feel it could be hotter and a little stronger. For a double shot it didn't make the cut. <br/><br/>All and all it's a good standard cafe but don't expect too much <br/>
Grace Hall
Best coffee every. single. time. <br/><br/>Their bacon is delicious and their eggs on toast are a pretty good start to the morning - though it's a shame it doesn't catch the early rays of sunshine. Big Beat is perfect for nipping in to grab a coffee to go and a small bite to eat.
Neil B
great outdoor seating area, with an overly friendly cat. Interesting original brunch menu items. Clean toilets. Mix of seating locations, inside , outdoor in the sun or under umbrella, semi inside. Highly recommended for a leisurely brunch away from the annoying whine of the coffee grinder on a pleasant day
