We popped in after seeing that they had gluten free options and it did not disappoint! A gem of a cafe with amazing food, beautiful coffee and lovely staff. We ordered gluten free poached egg&avocado toast and bacon&maple French toast along with a latte and iced latte. Service was quick and food delicious. We will be back!

Over 26 weeks, we are visiting individual eateries in the NW which are alternatively named from A-Z that we haven't visited before. This was our third one, "C"... Visit 16/08/25 What did we have? Flat White Tea Wild Mushroom on Sourdough Poached Eggs w/ Streaky Bacon on Sourdough Hash Browns w/ Chimichurri Service was very quick and efficient. Staff all seemed happy and positive. Order taken quickly and drinks arrived equally so. Food order taken straight after and food arrived timely within less than 10 mins. Coffee was really nice and tea was tea although arrived in a nice decorative pot. Eggs were free range and cooked to perfection and streaky bacon was crispy and not fatty - perfect. Only one sourdough toast which didn't seem enough at the time but after breakfast had settled, was adequate for that perfect pleasantly full feeling. Perfect. A side of hash browns in chimichurri as recommended by the waitress provide a nice spicy addition to the breakfast. My wife had wild mushroom with caramelised onion on sourdough. The mushrooms and sourdough were really tasty however onions not caramelised enough. Highly recommended and would definitely return. Well done Core.
