Awesome coffee, made the way I like it. Professional and at the same time very friendly service not only from the owner Aki but his staff as well. They are just great, well mannered and provide an excellent customer service every time. Every Tuesday, Aki makes very nice, croissants filled with freshly cooked eggs, very light and very tasty I don’t think I came across to something similar, so simple and so good. When I say simple, it doesn’t necessarily mean that cooking them (eggs) is simple. I know that Aki puts lot’s of love and effort in everything he does I wish Aki will make the egg croissant more often, not just once a week. Also; his tuna sushi roll is definitely D’ BEST, for my liking 24/09 - I just need to say it again - such a beautiful croissant filled with the creamy and tasty egg can ONLY be found here at Bowden. In case I haven’t said it before - it is really THE BEST. Thank you Aki 04/04 - Tuna and prawn sushi is so great

The deep robust coffee flavour here is second to none. Aki sushi rice is so beautifully cooked I come here often just to get the fresh sushi rolls :D

Excellent coffee and delicious food. We especially love the curry here - full of vegetables and with a homemade feel unlike the instant curry served at most Japanese restaurants in Australia. Aki and his team do a fantastic job, and clearly care about the quality of the ingredients they use.

My favourite place in plant 4! One of the top baristas in Adelaide, makes a perfect espresso. Tiramisu is a must. Quality sushi. Highly recommend!
