We love the special menu which must be ordered before 7pm at a fixed price. It is a three course menu with four choices for each category.

Tasty coffee & delicious pastries. My recommendation is the Almond Croissant. I have tried many from all over the world, including Lune in Fitzroy where I waited in a queue, but these are better in my opinion.
Kino, Doon and Davo are passionate about their coffee.
