Tucked away in a side street in Eden Terrace, this place is a good find. Even though it's small, the coffee is really good and service is always efficient and friendly. The food is top notch, and they can cater your office function or party too.

Great little cafe with fantastic food, from a constantly changing selection. All toped off with excellent service

Tried a wrap today, very nice, healthy alternative and really well presented. The coffee was in my hand within a couple of minutes and well decorated for such a small space.

Really nice wraps well worth a try.

They do a pretty mean baggette too! I think they do a new filling every day, so you never know what you're going to get, but the few I've had were delicious.

I can't rate this place highly enough. The food is delicious and the presentation is amazing. I've eaten here a few times and I'm always blown away by how great their food is... just super super tasty. The décor of the cafe is also pretty cool... they have the place decorated with weird and wonderful fruit and fragrant curiosities :) Great atmosphere and awesome food.

I love the food here, it's actually bordering on spectacular, unfortunately prices are pretty high for what amounts to lunch. Also takeaway portions are pretty small.

A great find up in Newton. Tucked away and with an interesting menu and great interior fit out. Had a nice lunch but did find the prices a little steep for what it was. Coffee was good though.

Great recommendation Cassie.

For my 10 year wedding anniversary I wanted a special dinner but didn't want to go to a restaurant where I didn't know what I'd be getting. After having a chat with Jenny over my Modicum breakfast (amazing by the way) she offered to cater it for me.  We talked about the foods my husband and I liked, what kind of tastes I wanted to experience, how many courses - she even offered to have it plated and ready to go so all I had to do that afternoon was pickup ready plated meals that just had a risotto to heat up. And the food was STUNNING - both taste-wise and visually.  Figs and prosciutto, a prawn risotto, young feta with coriander salsa and some amazing bread thingy, and two little croquembouche towers. And it was SOOOO much cheaper than having a four course meal in a restaurant.  I LOVE MODICUM!!!!
