We missed out sadly on a dinner experience here as it was so busy and we’d not booked not anticipating the busy Kings Birthday weekend popularity of this restaurant, the menu looked amazing though so we decided to return for breakfast. Off to a shaky start by not being noticed waiting for a table the service changed completely once we were and shown to a table. The food, well I can honestly say it’s one of the nicest breakfasts I’ve had, super tasty with lovely fresh and good quality ingredients and cooked to perfection even the poached egg, I say tasty as there were more thoughtful variations of flavour combinations included in my breakfast option which all complemented each other and was just a lovely flavourful plate of food. Top that off with a good coffee and friendly service in a cafe that has a lovely vibe and a slightly bohemian style and it’s a great way to start the day. If we visit the area again we would certainly like to return to try their evening menu as that looks as well curated as their breakfast one with interesting food combinations and flavourings. Top job.

OMFG WOW. I think that this breakfast is the best I've had so far in 2026! I got the Rosti Revival and my partner got the Eggs Bene. 😍
I forgot to take a before picture, but this is the after. Literally plates scraped clean. With the very real temptation to order a second helping, if I wasn't so full!!
Staff were super friendly and helpful!
Coffee was delightful, there was a bit of a wait on coffees, but they were very clearly busy in that area, as it was Easter and plenty of people just dipping in for coffee.
10/10 will be back!

Brewed As is awesome! I popped in right before closing and was so impressed. The coffee was delicious and came out really quickly. The staff were also lovely and super friendly.
The vegan and vegetarian menu looked incredible too, but arrived too close to closing time. Was bummed I couldn't try anything, but I'll definitely be back soon to check it out!
