A nice cafe in Fitzroy Gardens, usually with a relaxed vibe. I'm a regular for the great juices and amazing $2 brownies on Tuesdays, as well as the occasional toasted sandwich.

An oasis of calm and beauty, only yards from the noise and ugliness of the city. The coffee and snacks are fantastic. The staff are lovely. You’re surrounded by nature in all its glory, including a variety of birds.

A cheap and cheerful stop for a feed whilst walking around the fabulous Fitzroy gardens. Toasties and coffee were both well priced. We tried the mushroom/goat cheese/pesto and ham/cheese/tomato toasties - both enjoyable. Small menu, with a number of things sold out by the afternoon when we visited. Staff were friendly and it was very pleasant to sit looking out over the gardens. Our experience felt a bit 'cafeteria-like' due to the self-collect for food/coffee and the adjoined information centre.

Nice place to have coffee after a long walk in garden. It is in the corner of Fitzroy garden, one of the city gardens with lot of greens, flowers, small ponds, and some birds. The cafe is well maintained, with smiling staff. I had a coffee after a long walk. At 3:30, the cafe stops servicing other items except coffee. It has free city news paper to know what is going on in the city. It has both spacious indoor and outdoor sittings.

Very impressed with the Chai Latte, very nice on a cold afternoon.

Great coffee, amazing banana bread and the baristas were really friendly. It’s not too nice to sit inside but there’s an outdoor sitting area or regular park benches nearby. It’s very reasonably priced and overall a great café :)
