About The Gunshop Cafe

A leafy retreat from mall bustle, this cafe dishes up serious morning fare overlooking the outdoor gardens. Regulars skip the food court chaos for crisp hash cakes and silky homemade hollandaise, paired with a rich hot chocolate or dialed-in espresso. The full lunch menu runs all day—meaning braised savory plates arrive even if you sit down well before noon. Attentive floor staff smooth out seating for family groups without missing a beat, leaving you to finish a fresh juice in genuine quiet.

  • All-Day Lunch: Order savory lunch options at any hour alongside standard morning plates.
  • Standout Signatures: Kitchen staples include savory hash cakes and house-made hollandaise.
  • Garden Outlook: Floor-to-ceiling outlooks onto greenery provide an escape from retail corridors.
