Still the best almond croissants I’ve ever had, with gooey almond paste inside. No hesitation making a ‘Magic’ coffee, which was outstanding; delicious, strong flavour.

Lunch at @moorestreetgeneral. Didn't realise I have not posted a review on this cafe. It is located off the main drag. On a quiet little street with a lovely boutique next door. Today, we had their chilli eggs and Turkish eggs, scrambled/poached to perfection, both were "eggcellent". They make great coffee too. I had their ice cream coffee (ice cream and espresso). Yum! Cafe has a good vibe. Never experienced bad food or service here. Staff are warm, friendly and helpful as well. Their menu changes quite often. I still dreamed of the sausage dish I had there years ago!! Highly recommended. Edit: we were there again yesterday and had the G's avo and it was perfect. You gotta try that!

Honestly this place just does not disappoint. I've never had a bad meal or coffee here. Ive been coming here for 7 years and its always spot on. I had breakfast there today and the coffee was delicious and my meal was perfect. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a cafe in the northern suburbs of Wollongong. Well done team.

Got a takeaway Coffee last Thursday. Staffs & Barista were quite friendly. Atmosphere was pretty chilled. Coffee hit the spot & is well priced. Didn’t have to wait long for my coffee even though they were quite busy. Picked up some baked goods outside of the cafe too. Only downside is it’s pretty challenging to get a park around here..

Lovely and retro style coffee! Really love the decoration makes me feel warm. The pumpkin toastie is really good and the combination is terrific! The sweetness from the pumpkin and the crunchy from the kale, the roasted toast was crispy outside. Highly recommend! The cinnamon apple muffin we loved it’s not too sweet and sour the flavor is just good! Love The coffee is ok which the latte is a little blend but long black is good.

Super fresh ingrediants. Soothing coffee. Plenty of parking. Lovely quiet place - no noise pollution. Menu - your typical menu as with all cafes with some specials on some days.
