Absolutely loved our brunch at @cafe_marketstreet! Delicious food, welcoming atmosphere, and perfect for a relaxed book club gathering. Our group had a wonderful time discussing Postmortem over coffee and treats — can’t wait to return! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a spot to enjoy great food and good conversation.

Just wanted to share a note of appreciation for Cafe@market street with everyone in this group. We had booked their party hall for a birthday celebration and they did a fabulous job decorating and organising the catering throughout. Food was great and the place is amazing if you are looking for a party venue for say 30 people. Also, the owner of the cafe Sriram was personally involved in coordinating from the start to the end. This is a fantastic case of customer delight. Highly recommend it.

Dropped in on Saturday morning to try this newly opened cafe. It was empty and we were served quickly. Great coffee, and both the eggs on toast and omelette were fresh and tasty. Only minor downside was the door being left open, which let in a fair bit of traffic noise but otherwise a nice spot for breakfast.

We had made a reservation the day before for 13 people which was accommodated for with no issues. Alexandra and the chef were brilliant, we had slight delays with food due to the amount of us but all was made fresh and was delicious. Cannot complain. Alexandra was great and did her best to keep up with all the orders and requests. Will definitely come back again.

Alexandra was amazing. A group of 13 of us came in and she was organized and efficient. We all had different dietary requirements and she made sure she took note. We appreciate the diligence!

I came into this lovely cafe yesterday for lunch, my mum and daughter too. Ram our server was so nice, kind and helpful. We were seated and orders taken really quickly. The food was delicious and fantastic portion sizes. I had avocado and eggs on toast, my mum had a vegetarian breakfast and my daughter had avocado and haloumi salad, all absolutely gorgeous! We will be making this our regular go to restaurant on days off.
