The cheesesteak was life-changing. I’ve never had anything like it before. The meat was so tender and juicy, the cheese was cheesing, would have been good to get a little more peppers in there but it was so good anyway. Will definitely come back for it. Also had the salad which was good. The people next to us had the mushroom sandwich and the burger and said both were great. Cute little cafe with window seating. Gets busy for weekend lunchtime.

Such a pumping little café! Loved sitting here soaking up the sun while getting some work done—comfy seating and well-placed cushions make it a spot you actually want to linger in.

Coffee was spot on, smooth and strong. The almond croissant was nice, though it had a bit of a citrusy note I wasn’t expecting. Not a bad twist, just different!

Big shout-out to the ladies behind the counter—they handled the rushes like pros and stayed friendly and polite the whole time. Always a good vibe when the team is calm under pressure.

Can’t wait to come back—perfect little local gem.

This cheesesteak sandwich was packed with so much flavor. Beef was tender and the onions were cooked to perfection!

I had a coffee and matcha (cause why not) and it was also good!

They had so many delicious selection that I cannot wait to try.

The server on the counter was lovely. Coffee and matcha arrive quick. However, food took so long. Almost over half an hour. I would understand if it was busy but it wasn’t. I came there after the rush hour and there were even empty tables. I assume they might be understaffed or possibly they are just finishing from the rush hour.

Would go back to try their other sandwiches!

One of our new favourite spots! The coffee was delicious but the real highlight is the mushroom toastie. I can't explain how damn good this thing is. Absolutely jam packed with garlicky mushroom goodness. Must try!

Dropped by here for coffee only. The blend is Zest which was presented well, however we found the coffee didn't have much strength even with a double shot in a small cup. The barista offered another extra shot which helped bring out the flavour which was quite pleasant.

Good coffee and a cracking selection of bagels; Colin’s Coffee is the perfect spot for a quick bite or your morning caffeine fix. The vibe is laid-back and cozy, with a great seating area that’s perfect for people-watching (or car-spotting, in this case).

Whether you’re keen for a casual catch-up or just need to refuel, this little gem hits the mark. Definitely worth popping by if you’re in the area!

Great "coffee" shop. Yummy coffee. Can't believe I have not been there before. Will go back and try other items in the cabinet. And look at the Lamborghinis across the road.

It is a lovely cafe with relaxing atmosphere. We had great brunch in a beautiful Sunday morning.
The food was excellent. Their menu was more bagel sandwich focused than cooked food, but there are many options, don’t get me wrong. We ordered Kale salad and breakfast bagel, which were both excellent. The salad dressing was not super soggy or too much, with hint of garlic. There was only salad green, kale and croutons with dressing, which makes it less nutritious… perhaps little bit of feta or halloumi would have helped? The breakfast bagel was excellent, very filling with eggs, cheese avocado and bacon. Then we ordered matcha banoffee mousse cake for dessert and it was very interesting, the banana, matcha and redbean flavoured base was really tasty together in my mouth, not sickly sweet but sweet enough. The mousse was fluffy and light, I really liked it. The skim chai latte was too milky for me and orange juice was store bought one. A lady in the next table received their mushroom melts - looked impressive! I should’ve tried it!
Staff was friendly and helpful, service was efficient. But the 2 dishes don’t come out together… about 5 min apart…one person has to wait and food can get cold while waiting. Also, I don’t like they use non-reusable plastic cup for the juice… it should be banned for sit down order.
The atmosphere was very relaxing. They tried their best to make small place to be more comfortable, which was successful. The window seats on the big windows with many pillows work perfectly well to create cosy atmosphere. High ceiling and color theme is very nice, and there’s outdoor sitting as well.
Overall I enjoyed this brunch, thank you!
