Chinese dumplings with a distinctly Melbourne twist, try the unique mackerel dumplings, other delicious dishes in addition to dumplings. Great flavours and affordable.
Consistently excellent coffee and food for breakfast and lunch, great salads, very friendly staff, cool tucked away location, beautiful North Melbourne heritage neighbourhood only 10-15 minute walk from the apartment. If you want a good coffee, this is the place, never lets me down (and I am pretty fussy about my coffee).
