Tucked away on Avon Road, this relaxed North Ryde cafe trades tired brunch staples for restaurant-level cooking. Patrons skip the standard fry-ups for plates of house-made squid ink pasta tangled with spanner crab, finger lime, and crispy parmesan, or crisp corn fritters and chilli crab omelettes. Step-free access and front parking make table stops effortless for multi-generational crews, while dedicated baskets of toys keep toddlers occupied until brioche French toast hits the table.
- Chef-Led Brunch Specialties: Squid ink pasta with spanner crab, chilli crab omelettes, and tempura enoki replace standard cafe routines.
- Easy Step-Free Access: Storefront parking and single-level, step-free access make visits seamless for guests with walkers or prams.
- Family-Friendly Setup: A dedicated kids menu, on-site picture books, and toys keep children occupied across family catch-ups.
