IMPORTANT: Groups of 11 to 14 will be sat on our High-top Alice Table. Unfortunately, this is the seating option we can offer to larger groups at this time.
Remember to add small children (1yo & up) to your headcount. They are included in our seating capacity limits. We may not be able to accommodate your group if you turn up with additional people who have not been included in your booking.
Until further notice, we will require your credit card details when you make a booking online or via phone or email. Your credit card information is securely stored in our booking system.
You can update or cancel your booking up to 2 hours before your booked time. We do not charge your card at the time of booking however, you may be charged a fee for late cancellations or no-shows ($10pp).
We observe a 1.5-hour seating limit for all group sizes on all days of the week. This is more strictly enforced during weekends and busy periods on weekdays. During non-peak times, this is more relaxed unless there are customers waiting at the door for a table.
There is a 10% surcharge on weekends, and it’s 15% on Public Holidays that we decide to open. The surcharge is applicable for all services including dine in, takeaway, and the purchase of merchandise on display.
We have room for WALK-INS daily! So if you can’t find a spot online to book, just walk in and our team will seat you as soon as a table becomes available to suit your group.

During light periods at the café, we are more than happy to accommodate split bills.
We have over 35 dedicated parking spots, clearly marked, on the cafe premises. Please plan ahead and be aware of other alternative parking spaces in the area.
In case you experience difficulty finding a park on-premise and are coming with children, elderly or PWD, you can opt to drop them off with a carer close to the entrance before parking elsewhere.
Please be mindful and do not park in other surrounding businesses’ dedicated customer parking
