It was my first time trying homemade crumpets and not industrial ones, and it was definitely up to the expectations! The cafe is small and cozy and I love their coffee cups as well. I would be back to buy their takeaway crumpets too!

Integral part of the Carlton North community - The staff are always welcoming and friendly, the crumpets are so good you'll not want to leave without taking the sixpack home with you!

I had the one with butter, honey, and sea salt—and it was absolutely perfect. Warm, fluffy, and with that delicious balance of sweet and salty. The place is cozy, the staff friendly, and it’s the kind of spot you’ll want to come back to. Simple, satisfying, and so worth it.
