Amazing food and great for coeliacs. Plenty of gluten free options and they asked if we were coeliac or intolerant. So good that we went back the next day. We shared bacon and egg pie, spinach and feta scone and cauliflower pizza; next day we both had eggs bene.

Beware - only the cabinet food is priced reasonably. My husband and I ordered food from the menu - scrambled egg with spinach on bread $18 - this was such a small portion and came with only one piece of bread. Because I'm gluten free, the bread is tiny also, and a few leaves of spinach were sprinkled to tick the box. I actually just stared in surprise and couldn't hide my shock when they served me, that I explained usually there's two pieces of bread at least, and they got another piece made. That's why this review has an extra star. My husband ordered the warm pumpkin with feta and balsamic vinegar salad with poached egg for $25. This was in the cabinet minus the poached egg for $12 for a large. I had wanted to advise my husband to order the cabinet version but my toddler threw a timely tantrum so I was managing the child. Literally - the exact same salad, in a portion size that one could maybe say fit a "large" salad box came out with a poached egg. Over double the cost just for a poached egg and for the salad to be "warm" which was cold by the time my husband ate it due to said toddler still throwing a tantrum. Overall - felt super ripped off but I couldn't even ask why they charged $13 extra for a poached egg because we left as quickly as we could as my toddler was in no mood to stick around. While they certainly had GF options, and when I explained I'm coeliac please don't cross contaminate food, and they appeared to understand, I really can't justify the portion size. I was really disappointed as other photos here looked so good. I guess it's just cabinet food that's worthwhile because it was almost sold out by the time we arrived.
