It is the ideal destination to relax, read the paper or gather with family and friends for a long lunch or after funeral gathering. Rivaling any Melbourne café on style and food quality, our cafés are open seven days a week for a great espresso, snack, seasonally inspired menu and an abundance of fresh flowers.

We believe that every function should reflect your personal choice. This is the reason our function menu is inspired by different cultures and is flexible.

Our aim is for you to feel a connection with our food. We will customise a menu to suit your cultural, personal or dietary requirements.

Fresh flowers and floral arrangements can also be arranged for functions through our onsite florist.
