Google searched a cafe for lunch as we headed to Toowoomba and the visual vibe of this place just called me. Hidden in this little alley way it was full of industrial and artistic character. It was so hard to pick from the menu as there were so many tasty options, the coffee was great service was amazing and the food was delicious. I had the chilli scrambled eggs with added bacon. Its a must eat at cafe for sure

You get the vibe even before you get there. On the street you can see black umbrellas down the lane with wooden tables. The walls are painted outside so you have the feeling you're in another country. Tastes are great, I ordered sweetcorn fritters. The salsa was good but portion size wasn't great. The fritters were overly browned but tasted was okay.

The BEST breakfast toastie in toowoomba! The gluten free bread option is so tasty. they have a meal deal with a complimentary drink with it, very budget friendly and worth the outing if you’re wanting quite time to yourself or to catchup with friends xx
