Dropped in for breakfast. I ordered the breakfast special - prosciutto and egg roll with a coffee for $16.90. I ordered and asked to eat in but was told the offer was only for take away. I also ordered a superfood smoothie. Interestingly my order came out at three different times. Ie coffee, then food, then smoothie. Did not seem very efficient. The restaurant area was completely empty. Prosciutto and egg roll was good. As was the smoothie and coffee. 4 stars.

Beautiful little spot with delicious pastas and salads, as well as a variety of refreshing smoothies. A little on the pricey side but for what you are getting I'd say its fair. Would definitely return here!

The Mog Champ sends his regards. Eatalo or I still call them Bertoni is a nice cafe on the corner of the street and they are usually my go to place for quick coffee runs. I've also had lunch from there too and it's nicely prepared! Good service, clean and dim atmosphere - never dined in before so I can't say anything about that aspect but I'm sure that they satisfy their customers! Mogliest Regards, Your Mog Champ

I found this cafe at the end of a post Sydney Marathon recovery run on the Tuesday after the event. I think it may have been the owner/manager who seated and served me. He was extremely friendly and welcoming and the whole cafe had a lovely warm vibe. It’s obviously a favourite spot for local city workers with both an outdoor take away section or roomy indoor seating area. My omelette was just perfect as was my cappuccino. Heading back to Canberra but so pleased I found this cafe close to where I often stay for running events and I will definitely return.
