The food was really nice. I tried the omelette and croissant and even tho I never picture a croissant with a mildly spicy sauce,it was delicious! My friend ordered avo toast and they were generous with the mash avo. They have Altura coffee which is delicious

I came here for breakfast this morning. The menu was excellent with a great variety of food. The staff were friendly and helpful. It was a quiet area to just sit down to enjoy a meal and coffee. I thoroughly recommend eating here as you won't regret it.

Went brunch, and the staff were polite and exceptional. The food was delicious and the perfect amount for me. I do love Karage chicken. It was worth paying $2 for siracha Mayo. Yummy coffee with cute coffee art. None of ours were the same, and all presented very well. The place was busy, but food came out quickly for the four of us.

A lovely spot for a cute coffee date or brunch with your mates or partner. Coffees are amazing with the cute little latte art. If you’re a matcha lover, this is a place for you to come and try. Bring your mate or date to Hello Stranger during this winter coming season for a warm cozy environment with music.

Beautiful cafe in the outskirts of the city. Thanks for letting us stay longer for our friends catch up Food was great with many options - a lot of asian inspired dishes too (not on the photos). Coffee was really good and my friends loved the matcha which had the best praise from an asian, "Not very sweet" Would love to come back!

We had a lovely breakfast here! We ordered the salmon bagel and crab omelette croissant — both were delicious, with well-balanced sauces and super fresh ingredients. The coffee was surprisingly unique and flavorful — definitely worth a mention. And most of all, the service was exceptional. The staff were friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Big shout-out to the amazing team working here — you made our morning! Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a relaxed brunch with a twist.
