A casual all-day café and bar on Frederick Street in Dunedin North, a few minutes from the University of Otago, part of the Joe's Garage chain. The breakfast menu runs from a macadamia maple muesli and eggs cooked to order with Joe's relish, to a warm apple, rhubarb and boysenberry crumble with custard yoghurt. The mains include a crumbed beef or chicken schnitzel with a choice of sides, a 200g beef rump steak, a ham steak, and battered market fish with chips and house tartare. The burgers include a fried chicken version with buttermilk brine, and the menu lists vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan options, and dishes can be changed to suit.
Diners who wrote on the website praised a pumpkin and beetroot vegetarian bag, the friendly and quick service, and the pikelets at breakfast. One family said the kids' menu and colouring page kept their son happy, and another said they could bring their dogs in for breakfast. Some noted they got a table fairly quickly at busy times. The bar seats 70, with room for 120 standing and an extra 50 in the courtyard, so it is set up for parties and work functions as well as a casual meal.
