What a great find on a Sunday morning. Great service from the young serving crew on this morning. We ordered a tea vanilla almond scroll & lollie cake and everything tasted so delicious. But the best part about our experience was the atmosphere that came with the youthful serving crew who provided everyone in the Cafe with their meals wearing the biggest smiles and respect each time they placed something on the tables. But for us it was their upbeat music that they were also dancing along to while preparing the food and drinks that had the Cafe feeling like a great place to be on a Sunday morning. Look forward to coming back :)

Menu includes a very good vegan breakfast wrap (stuffed with cheez, potato hashbrowns, beans, greens) and a decadent vegan chocolate slice. Handy location inside New World.

Really worth having breakfast here. MASSIVE compliments to the cook. The eggs on toast are so delicious and look beautiful enough for a cuisine magazine. The café is spacious, comfortable, beautifully lit, and the service is consistently friendly. Even though it may feel like a convenience destination (it's attached to New World on Durham) I recommend going out of your way to eat here.

Excellent Service from Aykira! We were traveling through on holiday from Canada and visited this cafe. We received exceptional customer service and kindness from Aykira. She truly made our visit memorable. Please pass this praise along to the owner, Alisa! Thank you for a great experience.

Located in the New World building. The coffee is fantastic. There is quite a range of vegetarian options. The vegan choc mudcake is delicious. George, the head barista, is outstandingly kind to every single person in the café.

One7Five on Durham is an undercovered gem in the CBD. Superb ambience, with stylish and very comfortable furniture. Supreme beans that the staff prepare superb coffee with. My long black was one of the best I've had in ages! George, the head barista, is an absolute champion who brings engaging and respectful energy, just like the supreme coffee he serves. I'll certainly be supporting One7Five on Durham again... conveniently located at 175 Durham Street
