Although there is no sign that we could say saying Rushi I recognised it from one photo of the inside and assumed it was the right cafe. It appears to be a push bike cafe as it backs onto a push bike shop. The food is outstanding and I'd hope it would be for the price. It's enough to make you full but you're not over eating. The coffee is on point. It's family friendly and there was lots of mums and dads with kidlets including a pram or two. Staff are lovely and accommodating.

Get the Tokyo muffin you won't be disappointed. I'm not usually a big fan of sausage muffins. But their sausage patty is nothing like maccas or other typical sausage patties. It was so good. The English muffin bun had a perfect texture. The cafe is next to a bike shop. It's a bit confusing but there is only one cafe in that spot haha

Amazing café experience. A thoughtful and fun Asian spin on some brekky classics, plus plenty of tasty creations - signature eggs and bacon on a roll (yariman roll) and karaage chicken bowl in the pics, both superb! Definitely hitting the steak sanga next time they also recommend a few choice items, very friendly crew. The coffee and the venue are both on point too! We didn’t see it before but it’s a cool space now. Highly recommend, will definitely be back.

I've been coming here several times a week over the last 5 years and the friendly service along with beautiful coffee (ONA beans) pair nicely with tasty food. They keep the menu fresh by introducing weekly specials that mix things up. Keep it up Lucy and the team!

Egg yariman roll is amazing and a definite standout for me, the French toast is beautiful too if you have a sweet tooth (I do) Caramel latte had a lot more caramel than most places, which I liked but some may not enjoy Heard great things about the rushi eggs, will need to try that next time!
