Amazing hot cross buns, great extra strong cap and the best service - hands down! I came here during my break and had no microwave on my construction site - the staff member even heated up my meal in the microwave, thank you again my mate! 100% recommended

Beautiful cosy cafe, attentive and kind owners. Had a beautiful muffin and hot chocolate and accidently left something at the cafe, got home and then realised. Fortunately they held it safely for me. Highly recommend and we will be back.

Lovely bakery cafe! I tried the French toast and a chai latte, and also enjoyed their leaf chai. Everything was delicious and the atmosphere was cozy and aesthetic. Definitely worth a visit!

Lovely cozy cafe, and the service is personable. Like it so much that we came back twice in a week. Tried: 1. Florentine eggs - healthy and yummy! 2. Beef rendang - the beef is very tender and the stew is flavorful 3. Spanish eggs - love the bread and the sausages 4. Chicken curry - really authentic Malaysian curry packed with spices. Just that it’s non-spicy. Drank up almost all the curry sauce because it’s like a yummy stew 5. Mince pie - lovely pastry and fruit filling was just nice, not too sweet

Enjoyed a delicious breakfast of home made beans (sweet and savoury) with a poached eggs cooked perfectly. The lavender chai latte was also authentic. The venue has great outdoor seating, inside seating by the windows and even more seating by a fireplace and the courtyard. Can’t wait to enjoy more excellent home made pastries, dishes and beverages from Lavender cafe
