They also have a selection of cakes and slices.

This is my favourite cafe in the Inner West. It is cute. Nothing fancy. However I can’t start my day without my delicious halloumi, egg & avo roll with bbq sauce and large soy flat white. All for just $11. Staff are also super friendly and always give my dog a bowl of water. Other, fancier cafes could learn something from this place.

Best price for pretty good coffee, with nice A/C too. The service is slow sometimes but for what I get there I can't complain. Plus you're supporting a cause in the process.
