With all the complicated food out there, nothing beats a good sunny side-up egg on a toast. Food option includes how to cook the eggs (or egg your way). I am not a fan of mushroom but the mushroom they served was really good. Even the grilled tomatoes were good. Price ranges from 4$ to 25$. Atmosphere is perfect for a sunny weather. Service needs a little bit improvement, some staff were already getting the plates even though we were still eating.

A sunny, light filled cafe with good food and drink and super friendly staff. I needed boiling water to heat up my baby's bottle and the staff were very obliging. The toilet area had a change table for my baby and the room was big enough for the pram. There are spaces to tie up your dog and even pet water bowls. There's a little library exchange too. Each time I've been (very early in the morning) I've been surprised by how many people are there. It's a busy little cafe.

A cute and convenient spot to get a coffee and a bite to eat. We came here yesterday and had a very pleasant experience. The coffee was good and so was the food. Service was friendly and fast.

“A wonderful new café where you can truly feel the owner’s dedication. Plenty of options.The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, perfect for meetings or getting some work done. I also loved seeing the little girl helping out during the school holidays — so adorable! With its beautiful natural lighting, it’s not only cozy but also a great spot for photos and check-ins. Highly recommended!”

First time here. Really enjoyed the food and the vibe. We had the Corn Fritters with bacon and the Pork sliders. So yum. We will be back (they had really delicious looking cabinet food too)

What a lovely find while traveling through Richmond. Nice new modern building. Perfectly cooked poached eggs and a flavorsome sausage in the big breakfast. Generous portions with the kids unable to finish their (adult sized) waffles. Loved the personalised reservation sign. Suggestions. Would love to see a online table reservation option (the lady taking the booking over the phone sounded VERY busy). Quick service but it would be amazing to time the cofffes with the food rather than 5-10min before. Always annoying to find a paywave surcharge even though handling cash usually has a higher operating cost.

One of the best new “kids on the block” in the city and entire region ! Amazing food and five star service ! Fresh and quite spacious it’s a perfect spot for breakfast, lunch or brunch in the brand new section of the city. Absolutely live everything about this place. Solid selection of food options for everyone’s taste from light such as granola or pastries to waffles, bagels to burgers. Multiple vegetarian, dairy and vegan options on request. We have tried delicious avocado, tomatoes and pesto bagels one day and they were just perfect, and chia pudding and coconut granola next day, both delicious. Coffee is first class with perfect blend, but recommend to try fresh made smoothies too. If you are after something sweet there is good selection of home baked cookies to choose from. Staff and owners are very friendly and make sure everyone is looked after. I think one of the best things about the cafe is that there are so many seats both inside and outside. An extra bonus for parents is adjacent playground, so parents can enjoy a cuppa while keeping an eye on kids. Well done Alioke team ! Keep it up !
