The garden’s not just for summer. 🍂 Our back terrace, garden and pergola are settling into autumn — still plenty of green, just with an extra layer or two. Coffee, brunch and a spot out the back.

Our house-made buckwheat, coconut & quinoa granola, seasonal berries, mango, pineapple and your choice of Greek or coconut yoghurt.

September looked a little something like this.

Good food. Good people. Long brunches. Strong coffee. A few spritzes. And hopefully a little bit of peace and quiet in between.

See you in October.

The kind of afternoon pick-me-up we fully support.

A little weekend ritual. 🍋

Brioche French toast, finished with house lemon curd, whipped yoghurt, pistachio and basil syrup.

The only difficult part is deciding whether to share.

Lemon Curd French Toast — weekends only.
