A brunch that delights both the eyes and the taste buds. Every dish is plated in an eye-catching way. The most highly recommended dish is the "Crispy Popcorn Lobster with Lemon Mayo"— its texture is absolutely amazing. The desserts are also top-tier, with multiple layers of flavour combined on a single toast. “All Coco Americano”is a must-try. They offer a seasonal menu, so if you’re someone who loves trying new flavours and exploring delicious food, be sure to visit soon. The menu might change next time.

I would have given 10 stars if I can. The food is AMAZING. The service is ABOVE AND BEYOND. The atmosphere is cozy and refreshing with indoor and outdoor seats. My husband and I found this gem cafe while walking our dog. To our surprise it is SO good that it has become our weekend must go to brunch place. The food there is reasonably priced but with FIRST CLASS taste and presentation. I would say that most of their dishes are better than a lot of fine dining restaurants! My husband loves their French Toast and he pretty much orders it every time we come here. I personally love their prawn squid ink pasta and their eggs benny. Tried the scallop risotto today and it beats all the risottos I have ever had! I would not be surprised if this cafe eventually makes it to the Michelin stars. :)

I stumbled upon this café by chance, and it turned out to be an absolute gem. The food is incredibly delicious—fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Every bite feels thoughtfully crafted, from the buttery pastries to the perfectly balanced coffee. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with friendly staff who make you feel right at home. Definitely a place worth returning to!

My expectations were blown out of the water with the quality of Chiaos’ dishes. Everything tasted so well balanced and I can taste the thought that went into creating each dish. 9/10 - I just wish it wasn’t next to a main road

Seasonal special whole lobster sandwich, popcorn lobster etc are awesome. Generally unique and tasty menu, great coffee too, closest alternative we've found over the years to the legendary Trio coffees. Dog friendly (if well-behaved).

The best brunch spot yet! Their chilli jam scrambled egg is on another level - A MUST TRY. The strawberry sauce burger came in a generous portion and the combo was surprisingly good too?! We tried coconut and strawberry matcha in a hot version, the coconut one was soooo good. The scent and flavour of coconut complement so well with the matcha
