The cafe's famous toasties are made using quality, locally-sourced ingredients such as free-range ham from Echo Valley Farm, free-range pulled pork and smoked chicken from Low N Slow Meat Co (Tingalpa), and the best cheeses, handmade falafels, and artisan breads supplied by a local bakery.

Meanwhile, coffee aficionados are spoilt for choice with a delicious organic house blend plus rotating single origins, as well as quality cacao. The cafe also offers the best handcrafted and bean to bar chocolate range in Brisbane as well as Mörk specialty hot chocolate.
