Deserves a 3.5 but alas not possible. Crema coffee was poured well and tasted good with hints of chocolate but slightly bitter after-taste. Service was quick and friendly. The Caesar Salad was a little unusual with the normal croutons being slices of bread, squashed in a sandwich press, and not cut up, and the normally distributed chopped boiled egg, being 2 halves on top. The lettuce was covered and a tasty Mayo with ample bacon slivers and the occasional finely sliced quality parmesan or similar. I added smoked salmon for a modest amount extra, and this was absolutely delicious smoked salmon. The nachos were also unusual in that the cheese was melted onto the plate first, then the corn chips and topped with the beef mince, ample guacamole,sour cream and sweet salsa. The beef also had a sweetness, and combined with the overly sweet salsa detracted from what is normally a savoury dish.
The size of both meals is adequate for two older people for the dollars spent.

10/3/25 Steak sandwich was quite tasty. Superb bit of steak cooked 'still blushing' and trimmed of waste. Excellent. Very mustard dominant, so if you like mustard, you'll love it. The toasted BLT panini from the cabinet filled a hole, but the plentiful bacon was really underdone and lacked that 'baconey' deliciousness. The side of chips was great value for money and were crispy, hot and highly recommended. The coffee had a distinct bitter after-taste today, without the forward chocolate, as though it may have been poured too slowly, or the beans roasted too long, reminiscent of the 'old' Italian bitter dark roast.

3/4/25 The double shot dirty chai was excellent. The Broulee fruit cheesecake was as well. Deserved a 4 star rating.

Always our one stop coffee shop at the square, the staff are all so friendly; coffee and food quality, plus service is top notch, tables are always clean and the decor is beautiful. They are usually always busy which is a great sign! Bonus is they are open past the standard CBD cafe hours 🙏🫶

Where’s the option to give 10 stars? 🤩🤩🤩Best coffee ever! The staff is not only skilled but also incredibly friendly and attentive. I absolutely love the ‘Chicken Avo Deluxe,’ and I highly recommend everyone try it. Nearly every morning, I get to enjoy the pleasure of a Crema espresso. Thank you all for making my day so much better with each visit! Mariah (Casphone) 😘😘

Was ignored for a solid 5 minutes before being told we'd be served in a second. 2 of them jumped to attention and made a drink for a friend who wandered up after us and they happily chit chatted snd snacked away while we continued to be ignored. Coffee was lacklustre at best.

After eating breakfast at the cafe I started to feel sick. After a bit of research I found that the cafe uses duck eggs instead of chicken eggs which caused myself and others I was with to have a reaction. The cafe have since stated that they advertise that duck eggs are used on a small sign onto of the cabinet.
