Good coffee with friendly and quick service. Unfortunately my sister got the quiche and wasn’t wrapped due to a strange “fishy” smell which rendered her unable to eat it. My coffee, however, was great.

Just had our brekkie at Rosey Joans and everything feels great, especially the people, the food and the place. Cosy cafe and a super friendly lady boss who chatted with us. Do visit them if around the area. We will come back again. Well done!

A Pako Street Gem!! The staff were so friendly and accommodating. I had the breakfast bruschetta on Gluten Free panini bread (!!), the panini alone was great and the bruschetta was delicious. My friends had the egg and bacon bagel which they also loved. 10/10 will be back again

Try this little gem in the Newtown end of Pakington street. Their new menu has burgers , bagels and salads. Have the tasty homemade chicken & vegie soup with toast for a hot lunch in the cold weather. Gluten free options too. The staff and owners are friendly, the coffee is good & the food is tasty and well priced.
