Sunday mornings here run loud, lively, and completely packed for breakfast. Forget dainty cafe plates—the open-plan kitchen turns out serious plates in plain sight, from a thick bacon and egg roll dripping with runny yolk to a rich pork belly benny and a steak sando. Regulars know there is plenty of room between tables for prams and highchairs, while the floor crew handles the rush with ease, stepping in with warm baby bottles or hot coffee without missing a beat. The meal wraps up neatly over a velvety, dense slice of mud cake.
- Open-Kitchen Brunch: Hearty plates like the pork belly benny, loaded steak sando, and rotating monthly pancake specials prepared in view of the dining room.
- Pram & Family Friendly: Generous table spacing easily accommodates prams and highchairs, backed by attentive staff who assist with family needs.

Floor spacing and intentional table configurations comfortably accommodate prams and families with young children.
Upon arrival, I was pleased to see they gave us a table far away from the rest of the restaurant, therefore it was very spacious for the pram.

Big breakfast
Big brekky is actually a big brekky. Couldn't finish it, only complaint is that the plate was probably too small and having steak knives for the bread could be useful. But great service, food, portions, and done in a timely fashion.
Chris Pork belly benny
This pork belly benny was to die for and very delicious.
Rockney Ritz Pancake of the month
I can confidently say they were phenomenal — absolutely worth the wait.
Kaashifah Perin Bacon and egg roll
The bacon and egg roll was an absolute unit. Proper thick bacon, a runny egg that went everywhere in the best possible way, and it filled the tapeworm right up.
