Nice little coffee shop in Ringwood east - very cosy, reasonable wait time and nice plant decorations inside the store. Thank you for the coffee!

Absolutely loved the Emjay Benedict this morning. Fresh and tasty. Coffee was excellent also. Service is not as attentive as you might expect from some of the trendier cafes. But the food and coffee made up for it.
