A small cafe with a small but varied menu for breakfast and lunches. I got the french toast and was pleasantly surprised, the toast itself was perfectly made, with beautiful fresh fruit and maple syrup that created the perfect balance of sweetness and tart flavours. The servers were friendly, the food came out in a timely manner and altogether wasn't that expensive for how good and filling it was.

Yu Cafe is situated in Dickson, in the square behind / next to Woolworths (next to the butcher and the health food store). It's not a huge Cafe with perhaps around seating for 14 people inside and a few tables outside as well. The Cafe has a number of lunch specials that periodically change. And most recently when I went to get a coffee (good coffees too) I saw they had lamb shank and beef bourguignon in the menu now, which I'll be back to try. On a previous visit we can the bingsu (Korean shaved ice) and a chai latte and a coffee and everything was great including the food, service and ambience. I have to say I really miss the super friendly lady that enticed us to go the first time with her really warm welcome and greeting (we were just walking by). The guy this time was nice enough but just not the same!

I absolutely love this cafe! The coffee is superb, and the staff is incredibly friendly. The real highlight for me is their delicious BingSu – both the Coffee BingSu and Mocha BingSu are available with dairy-free options, which is a game-changer. It's a delightful spot with great drinks and a warm atmosphere. Highly recommend!

I’ve always wanted to try Bingsu, and this place did not disappoint! We went for the brown sugar Bingsu, and it was absolutely delicious. It’s served with the toppings on the side, so you can customise the sweetness to your liking - such a great idea. We shared a large, which was more than enough for a perfect afternoon treat.
