• 5★ I had not been back here for over 4-5yrs since they opened. It’s definitely a neighborhood’s cafe for sure. It’s in an apartment & shop complex even through it has it own separate area including parking. Plus it right next to the lagoon & park. They open all day except an hr break during weekly — Christopher T
• 5★ Wonderful Sunday brunch at Ubuntu. It was surely happening on a sunny morning. You have to line up for food first and then it is brought to you at the table. Lots of space for al fresco dining and the vibe is relaxed but boisterous. I had a simple scrambled eggs and it was well seasoned and filling — Helen Yu (Chestnut Journal)

Some lettuce with a chicken breast and an iced tea were $38 inc tax and tip and this is not a full service restaurant, you order at the counter and they bring it t — Jackie H
