There are a lot of reviews on here complaining about how expensive it is. Yep it is expensive. It’s a gorgeous gourmet food shop in Kooyong selling premium meals, salads, sandwiches and cakes with top notch ingredients. You’re not going to get a bargain. But you will get fabulous food that’s good enough to serve at a dinner party, that’s healthy, homemade and not swimming in salt and additives. The price point is not for everyone but it’s fabulous food and given the quality and range and that it’s made fresh every day, fairly priced.

I love the random variety of what you can find in this store. Everything is expensive and not necessarily better quality, but you can find some fun unexpected fine foods or home made meals. The staff are very friendly with the only exception being the owner and expect to pay an extra fee when using your credit card.
