Dulwich mornings start here with scratch-baked friands and chef-driven plates that outshine standard cafe fare. Kylie runs the floor with warm, effortless hospitality, while Ricky handles the kitchen with serious technique—layering house-made tomato chutney, kimchi eggs with avocado relish, and cheddar soufflés. Early birds drop in for hot coffee pulled at dawn, and neighborhood regulars claim tables in the sun-warmed, wind-screened outdoor terrace or tuck into the gas-heated side room with a hot chocolate dusted in dark cocoa.
- Scratch-Cooked Chef Dishes: Chefs turn out cheddar soufflés, goulash, and kimchi eggs with house relishes rather than standard short-order fare.
- Daily In-House Baking: Owner Kylie bakes batches of fresh friands, brownies, and orange almond cakes on-site every morning.
- All-Weather Dining Spaces: A table-side gas-heated side annex and weather-screened outdoor terrace provide reliable seating year-round.
