Wow! I just discovered this gem and really wished I lived closer! The food is amazing and the selection is great. Just had the absolute best eggs and bacon roll. I know - it's not a very bing sample size but seriously, you have to try it to understand. The bread is absolute next level and simply looking at the sandwiches and other items they have available, makes me want to try everything else they have. I'll make a small detour to come back each time I'm in Carrum Downs.

Great Little place open late in the day, came in for coffee and a chicken souvlaki. Place was spotless and the food fresh and quality, not just your quick Cafe food. 10/10 quality thanks guys.

A local lunch hangout for so many workers in a busy industrial estate. Their food is prepared fresh every day and the staff are always friendly, even when it's super busy!

Was pretty busy when I came in for lunch. I got the spicy Mexican chicken wrap and a latte. Food was ready to go straight away, tasty and fresh. Coffee was strong and tasty. Got my coffee in under 5 minutes! A few cafes could learn a thing or two from this no nonsense gem

Brilliant and friendly staff, best take away shop during work hours to go to. Amazing tasty food made fresh daily, a big fan of their schnitzel and salad on a Turkish bread roll. Highly recommended place to go to
