No other way to describe brunch here than phenomenal. We were visiting from out of town, and ended up ordering three entrées because the tiramisu French toast was just too tempting to pass up. Our server, Levi, also raved about the berry compote and brought us some...Read More

Definitely a staple for us on the south end of downtown. My first meal when I moved to DSM was here and it's a place that I continue to visit to meet friends or have a brunch date. The food is always perfect at this...Read More

Cute brunch spot with a few healthy, vegetarian options. Open, well-designed, welcoming vibes inside, and our waiter was so friendly.

It was a great experience dining at St. Kilda. Food is well prepared and the dishes were well crafted. Hospitality is warm and comfort. Servers are nice and responsive. Highly recommended for branch, casual coffee hangout, and BFF gatherings.

Australian Cafe & bakery serving delicious food, coffees, smoothies, and drinks. There is street parking all around and there is table service. The ambiant atmosphere is a good mix of chic and industrial.

Hands down amazing! The combination of flavors in each dish is unique. It’s a great menu with even better service. I think we will go here again this weekend. If you need breakfast, it’s worth the 1 mile walk from the Hilton. Absolutely delicious!

Such a unique modern hip cafe! I loved how worldly the menu was. The atmosphere was really nice, presentation of food was simple, and the place was clean. It was easy to find and when we got inside the restaurant was super busy, but they still accommodated...Read More

Top-tier. My partner and I stopped by around 0900 on a Sunday morning without a booking. As an American who has spent weeks in Australia, I was excited to go to an Aussie café and bakery. The manager - maybe owner too - is from...Read More

I came here on a rainy Wednesday morning. There weren't too many other people. Service was quick, the matcha was not sweet at all, and this lamb dish was amazing (though hardy). The vibe was unpretentious and the price was reasonable. 5/5 for me, was...Read More
