This place is primarily for those that work in the area. If you're looking for a cheap feed during lunch, you can't go wrong here. The food is cooked well and filling for a lunch to keep you going for the rest of the work day. They also do catering as well for morning teas and lunches. The staff are nice and friendly so you leave with some good food and a smile on your face. When I forget my lunch or don't have any leftovers, I'll drop by again for another purchase. I had the Truck E burger this time, next time I think I'll try the Works or a Porto burger.

The barista guy does an excellent job at making my cappuccino every morning with lots of love He also does an amazing job at running the cafe and he knows what my usual order is and will prepare it while I casually walk my way in. He very fast, efficient and provides great service. I enjoy eating their chicken strips which is tender and juicy inside with the coating and skin being crispy and cooked to perfection. They also have the hot Asian rotation which on particular days (e.g to name a few) you can get chicken curry with rice, black bean chicken, sweet & sour pork, fried rice, mongolian beef etc. Prices are reasonable and not outrageous like some places. They are generous with their portion sizes and i find them all very delicious and filling for my big tummy. It’s great for me so that I can continue my long day doing tedious laborious work.
