Coffee and drinks
Reviewers call the coffee good. Drinks arrive with leaf-pattern latte art, and one reviewer found the barista helpful when taking an order.
A courtyard away from the main street
The seating sits in an open-air courtyard planted with palms and tall greenery, with timber decking and round tables. Reviewers describe it as a secluded spot right in the middle of Paddington, which keeps it calm even though Oxford Street is close. Fresh flowers on the tables are a small touch that one reviewer noticed. It works well for a long catch-up over breakfast or a lazy weekend coffee.
