It's your local spot that believes in real hospitality and bangs out Instagram worthy dishes that actually taste amazing!

Be impressed by our distinct menu, in particular, our signature dish THE FOREIGNER’S BREAKFAST; poached eggs on crumbed sliced eggplant with garlic hung labne, burnt chilli, mint & sage butter & toasted Turkish bread.

Hi neighbours,

Unfortunately our café had a break-in 鸥鸟Sunday night. Someone forced their way in through the back window and took the money box and small amount of cash that was accidentally left in the money box. Usually we don’t keep cash overnight in the shop.

The good news is that no one was hurt, and we’ve already installed additional security bars to make the shop safer.

We’re sharing a short clip from our security camera just to remind everyone in the area to stay alert. If anyone happened to notice anything unusual around the area last night, please feel free to let us know.

Running a small local café means a lot to us, and we’re really grateful for the support from this wonderful community. Thank you for looking out for each other and for us.

Stay safe everyone. If you’re passing by today, feel free to drop in and say hello.
