A nice little cafe positioned in a small local shopping village. It has a great little inner city vibe on the weekend as the cafe and surrounding cafes as bustling with local crowds and a large cycling community who make use of the local cycling tracks. The service was friendly, the meals came out timely considering it was reasonably busy, the meals were tasty and well plated, utilising fresh and tasty ingredients. The eggs were cooked nicely, and bacon crispy without being greasy or fatty, the salads added a fresh taste to the meals and the portions were large and enjoyable. The halloumi was super delicious, not rubbery or overly salty The sourdough was slightly thinner than I prefer and heavily buttered, but still enjoyable. The coffees were done well, not too milky, not too hot, and full bodied with flavour. All in all I’d highly recommend for a low key Saturday morning breakfast.

I took a group of over 20 people to Cafe. Mckels this morning. The food came out quickly and most importantly it was hot. The service was attentive and friendly. Would certainly recommend this one.

Popular cafe located in the Circa shopping centre in Bella Vista. Good breakfast menu selection, both indoor and alfresco seating. The wait for my Saturday morning breakfast order seemed too long, approximately 20 minutes considering it was not a full house. Dukka eggs turned out to be a sizeable serve of smashed avo on toast with two poached eggs and dukka seasoning. Quite a satisfying and well prepared dish. Friendly staff, reasonable prices.
