About

This Australian-style café pairs espresso drinks and matcha or golden lattes with brunch dishes such as avocado toast, which reviewers say can be made vegan by removing feta. Vegan food choices appear limited and modifications may take some explaining; one reviewer reported a $16 avocado toast, while another praised the library-adjacent location and its bright interior.
