local press cafe

what a find! we heard from friends about this new spot that has recently opened on the new development on the kingston foreshore. we came in for breakfast on a sunday morning and it was full with no spare seats, upon entering a waiter asked if we were looking for a seat and told us to hold tight while he organised a table. i thought this was extremely courteous and professional as they were busy yet he took the time to arrange a table for us. we ordered the green breaky plate and pea pancake and 2 of their cold pressed juices, we were given a run down on the whole foods aspect of this cafe and the method of juicing they use which was a very nice touch. thefoodwas outstanding! being a self proclaimed foodie i have never really quite ate a dish like the greens breaky plate and was a little sceptical but was amazed at the quality and freshness also the balance of flavours was spot on! we had coffee and a chocolate brownie after our meals and was a very nice way to finish up a great experience. if you haven't been yet make sure you check it out! definitely my new weekend hang out.

new favourite. after only a week on the canberra cafe scene this little gem on the kingston foreshore has made a big impact. focussing on whole foods and cold pressed juices, local press hits all the right notes for me. coffee was smooth and i love that they use bonsoy. the daily green juice was perfect, not too sweet and a great balance of flavours. and then come the babagounsh on sourdough, a great combination of flavours and at $12.50 it is fantastic value. so nice to see a place that is passionate about providing customers with qualityfoodat reasonable prices. the interior is perfect and i can definitely see myself coming here a lot.

i’m not sure how the rating is so high or if it’s mainly because of their dine in food. but i didn’t get the chance to try since i only grabbed a coffee and pastry to go.
1. oat latte - the coffee was not hot and it tastes very washed out. coffee taste was not strong and the milk was way too flat
2. iced latte - not bad but also too milky
3. almond croissant - for a busy cafe you’d think the pastry was fresh. this one was stale and you can tell that it’s at least 2-3 days old.
4. the pumpkin spice muffin - holy mother of god i can’t emphasise this one enough… i took a bite and i literally gagged and almost threw up i am not even exaggerating. holy of all bad words contained for this one. when you take the first bite, it is all not bad and then it starts to settle and it’s bitter and there’s a stench that comes along with it i can’t even describe.

maybe i need to try the actualfoodbut the takeaways are a def no go for me.

best cafe i’ve ever been to.foodis very fresh, delicious and creative. never tried such combination. 100% recommended!

nice ambience n decor, big portion, tastyfoodand friendly staff :)

came from melbourne to here for a day trip and found this place from zomato. i have to say everything is perfect, the stuffs are very friendly and thefoodis surprisingly good and healthy. i love pink juice. i will come again next time visiting canberra.

food and drinks are great, but service was hit and miss even when it wasn’t looking that busy. i called twice for a waiter and took them 20mins before coming to our table for orders.foodand drinks did came out quickly afterwards.

one of the best cafes that i have ever been to. they initially missed our order (some problems with the ordering system) but the way that they have handled that was very professional. thefoodwas really good. i tried the crab and scrambled egg which was really delicious. also, i need to add...the staff are really friendly 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

the best brunch i’ve had in australia. the view from this cafe is breathtaking and thefoodis so amazing. definitely one of the best in canberra too. cheers! 👏🏻

one of true gems in canberra. the must visit place! i don’t know where to start? menu, interior, location, view, staff,food, coffee, just everything is simply amazing. no wonder this place was full whine their neighbours were staying almost empty. definitely will come back one day we are in canberra again.

we really enjoyed this cute café on the water for a family brunch in canberra.foodhas to be ordered at the counter but otherwise service was friendly. decor is cute & quirky andfoodis good. must be lovely to sit outside by the water in summer.

such a popular place for brunch! we went there 10am and still need to wait for a table and the waiting line were never stopped.
the service was little bit slow and not very attentive given how busy they were, it was fine.
the ingredients they used in drinks andfoodwere all locally sourced wherever possible; protein were all free range, pasture free, chemical&hormone free. probably that why the price of the meals were kind of pricy. thefoodmenu was full of healthy options. portion is big and overall taste was good.

white coffee was nice but the bottled cold brew was just ok. i loved the coconut water which was really natural, light, refreshing and not sweet at all.

#kangaroo salad#-grilled kangaroo meat served with zucchini noodle, roasted pumpkin and beetroot purée. the kangaroo meat was really tender and seasoned well. you rarely see cafe serving kangaroo meat, so if you are adventurous, definitely should try it.

#salmon on toast#-salmon sashimi served with toasts, poached eggs, smashed avocado, pickles, and jam. eggs were poached nicely with really running egg yolk, the salmon sashimi was fresh. i loved the touch of pickles and sweet fig jam? ,which make the dish more interesting.

love the deco of this place! the staff are friendly and thefoodis healthy. i’m glad they support the motion to “say no to plastic straws”!
they make cold pressed juices, that we can drink from a jar (that is then reused)! today being a sunday, lunch time, we waited close to 30min forfoodto arrive. but hubby and i loved it and we barely spoke as we enjoyed the meal! :)

stopped by here for brunch and thefoodwas amazing! despite feeling like eating something savoury, i opted for the gf vegan waffles and they did not disappoint.

the service was quite good, and thefoodcame within a matter of 10-15mins.
they offer a very decent variety of gf, df, vegan and vegetarian. it was a little crowded at times but other than that, everything was perfect!

had a great brunch with my husband.foodis amazing, atmosphere comfortable andfoodvery good. one of the best hams we ever tried. we ordered the croque madame and the breakfast tortilla but almost stay around for a second meal lol... definitely coming back next time in melbourne.
