Our Staff

Our in-house baker prepares our amazing counter of cakes and treats to enjoy with a rish coffee or a slice of our award winning Wheaten to enjoy in the cafe or to take a loaf home. Our chefs have a world of experience with influences from Americas to Asia. Our Green That Chicken Curry is made from scratch using fresh ingredients from a traditional Thai family recipe. Our GTCC and many more dishes can be found in our freezer for home cooking after a long tiring day in the office or our Family Size ready to host a family for dinner. See Menu
