The decor is that of a quaint cafe with bright windows and plenty of greens. Its menu offers a range of dishes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and orders are made at the counter.
From the breakfast menu (available whole day), try the Beef Rendang Egg Benedict, and Spiced Eggplant Shakshuka. The Spiced Eggplant Shakshuka is a good option: roast eggplant, fresh herbs, and egg baked in spiced tomato sauce served with crusty bread.
