Best Crispy Pork Bahn Mi I’ve ever had in my life. It was seriously so good, 11/10! Very friendly and happy staff too. Will be back again

Recently, I had the absolute pleasure of dining at the Red Cardinal Cafe for breakfast and it was nothing short of spectacular. The food was delectably astounding, complemented by coffee that was nothing less than superb. My children too, were delightfully charmed by their meal offerings. Notably, the babyccino stood out, eliciting exclamations of delight with every sip. In retrospect the experience easily merited a full five-star rating. It's a gem nestled within a mere 3 minutes' drive from my home and the only regret I harbor is not having discovered it sooner. Overall, it's a place of culinary excellence that leaves you yearning for more.

Red Cardinal is such a hidden gem. One of my favourite places to visit. Whether it's a morning coffee or a delicious lunch. The Bahn Mi and crackling pork noodles are amazing. Generous serving size and delicious. Today I had the noodles with their marinated beef, oh my lord, 'twas amazing....do yourself a favour and stop in for a breakfast or lunch date.

Great food! I called up for a group order and requested it be ready at a certain time. The order was being finalised as I arrived so it was perfect timing. All of our breakfast was hot, fresh and very yummy! The staff were super friendly and happy. Staff were friendly and happy.

Been a long time and a few owners in between breakfast visits. Coffee is so much better than the last time. Quality of the breakfast has improved tremendously. The scrambled eggs are professional...folded, not stirred...soft and fluffy. Great job, guys. 21/4/2025 - long time between visits. The Breakfast Bagel hit the spot for a Monday long weekend. Still friendly owners. I have to go more often.

Cosy cafe which I randomly found. Was just going to get a coffee, but decided to get some food. Crispy pork with rice. Really really good. Well presented, perfectly cooked, sensible portion size and good value. The crackling had a great crunch and the egg was cooked perfectly. The owners were friendly as well. Can't recommend.
