"Fantastic and authentic Turkish breakfast. The food was fresh, rich in flavour, and beautifully prepared. The eggs and sucuk were cooked perfectly, the fresh bread and spreads were delicious, and the olives and sides tasted just like a traditional Turkish breakfast. The Turkish tea and coffee were also excellent. It is very hard to find original Turkish breakfast made by Turkish family and staff, and this place truly delivers both authenticity and quality. Warm, welcoming atmosphere and very tasty food. Highly recommended."

"Well, this little café is an absolute GEM!!! We have been here a few times now and love it!!! The staff are so friendly and the food is amazing. My mom in law is visiting from South African so we took her for a breakfast. She had the half portion Cezwe Grill and said if that's the half portion she will never finish the full portion. This is now our breakfast spot. Well done to all the staff."

"Went in one morning to kill some time and it turned into the highlight of my day. From beginning to end, the two gentlemen were so lovely and attentive and the coffee was incredible. I’m not based in north shore but I’d for sure drive the distance to visit again."

"Had the Cajun Chicken and Big Breakfast for brunch today. The food is amazing and one of the best cafe meals I've eaten all year. The atmosphere is chill and nice, and the owners are humorous and keep the vibes light and welcoming. You can tell they care about both the food and the people. Definitely a spot worth revisiting - highly recommend if you're after quality eats with good energy."
