We gave Global Café and Bar a loving 4.5 stars!!…read more Global Café and Bar is an Ethiopian restaurant right next to the Jolimont Interchange. My girlfriend and I love going there since the curries are amazing and the staff is super friendly! Most of the people who go to this restaurant are public servants that work nearby, but you should definitely go there and try it out as well. The restaurant is run by a really nice Ethiopian family, and if you go there for dinner you might get a chance to see the two kids of the owner who are (like us) broad-grinning Star Wars fans. Food (1.5/2): The restaurant gives you a choice of two curries which you can accompany with either rice or a traditional Ethiopian sour bread. Each curry is based on a main ingredient (chicken, beef, lentils, etc.) and they have several vegetarian options. We like accompanying our curries with the bread - it kinda looks like a pancake - because it is more exciting than the rice. All the curries we have tried have been excellent, I think the lentil flavour is the best. The only reason we didn't give them the full 2 stars for the food is because they always have the same options, which can become a little bit repetitive. Ambiance (1/1): Even though the restaurant doesn't look very fancy, it is easy to tell that the Ethiopian family that runs it has put a lot of effort into it. It is always clean and homey, and the owner - who runs it - is always happy to talk to the customers. Service (1/1): The food is delivered quickly and efficiently. As I said, the owner is super friendly and is always smiling; so don't be shy, talk to her if you don't know what to order. Other stuff (1/1): Global Café also has a small set of Ethiopian beers, which are worth trying out. I mean, how often can one have Ethiopian beer? The outside of the café doesn't look like much, but don't be put off by this and go in for an interesting meal. Oh I also forgot to mention that it is super cheap, I think the last time we went meals were only $8.50. So why does it say 5 if we gave it a 4.5 (we usually give it a 4 if we think it's a 4.5).. Well, we think this place deserves more attention than what it gets. So if you feel like having something different, why not go and try it out?

The French toast here is fabulous! I also liked the croissants, but I can't say enough good stuff…read moreabout the delicious French toast! One of the best breakfasts in Canberra!

Visit Silo Bakery and Cafe for some of the best breads and pastries around. Located about ten mins…read moredrive from Canberra CBD in the trendy little area of Kingston, it's worth the trip. Their Artisan bread and pastries are made in store and are pretty popular, so be sure to get there early. It's a small spot with minimal decor and only a few tables to eat at, so it's best to grab what you want as takeaway. Do you prefer their silo sourdough, rye sourdough volkornbrot, kingston, white sourdough, stirato crusty italian bread, french style white baguette, ciabattini small italian style square rolls or french style roll? So many to pick from. I buy a loaf of the walnut and cranberry for later, can't wait to eat it! Maybe you're a croissant fan - plain croissants, almond croissants, butter brioche, pain au chocolate, Orange & Pistachio Snail, Custard & Raisin or our pick of the day, the "Evie" - apple, almond & raisin in croissant pastry. Crispy and super tasty. They also have a rhubarb galettes and pear galettes From the savoury options there's quiche, pies and sausage rolls and boreks as well as sandwiches. You can even eat in at their cafe with omelettes, eggs, French toast or muesli and a coffee.

How this cafe managed to be open a year before I found it is incredible to me…read more Important things first- best coffees in Belconnen, hands down. How do I know this? Well, apart from my own taste, it's not uncommon to see owners of other local coffee shops, whose businesses close on weekends, frequenting chatterbox on Saturdays. The food is excellent and very well priced (surprising given Canberra's overpriced brunch market). Friendly staff who remember your face and order round this out. Bonus- some staff also work at Mingle in the city during the week, and as such if you're a city worker, you can check out Chatterbox on the weekend and your coffee will be known!

Parked in a closish Wilsons, and walked to final destination. First impression was how popular it seemed. Waited in line for just a short time - there is lots of staff & 2 cashiers operating. That was good - hate waiting to order. Plenty of tables available. Used the toilet - clean and comfortable. A good sign. Ordered a fruit toast and a muggaccino. When I returned from the loo my table was set and bottle of water available. Nice touch. Generous portions of a very nice fruit toast with sides of butter & jam also in generous amounts. Coffee very nice. Highly recommend for its friendly staff, it's amenities and of course it's very nice food

Hi, I am emailing today asking for help! There is a staff…read moremember here in Canberra ACT that is abusing and refusing to serve customers. Today at 10th January 2026 1:30pm Woden/Phillip Westfield Dibinsons. 3 staff members 2 female 1 male(short bad tempered manager) decides chatting amongst themselves was a better thing to do rather than serve my wife while she was in a rush on lunch break wanting something to eat. The male(which claims to be the manager) looked straight at my wife made eye contact while she was on the phone to me(her husband) and decided to ignore her attempts to purchase a couple of pies for lunch while she was the only person standing at the counter. She waited about 10 minutes hoping one of the lady's working would help but they to looked at her and ignored her. My wife felt unwelcome and ostracised by his behaviour and left to go back to work after having not eating anything for lunch. This short male staff member has done this multiple times to my wife and due to his behaviour last year my wife stopped attending dobinsons altogether. I have made multiple reports in store regarding, his behaviour, him swearing at me, refused service, called names while walking by dobinsons while he is on shift and even being threatened and told to meet him after work for a physical altercation. Still after all my attempts to report this unethical unfriendly aggressive behaviour nothing seems to have been done and he is still refusing to serve my wife and yelling out to me over the counter while i walk past the dobinsons at Belconnen. I was informed by the tall manager last year at belconnen dobinsons that he had been spoken to. So my wife and i were able to make purchases at Robinson's again. But after today it is apparent that the short aggressive male(manager) doesn't care about the reports made last year nor does he care about upholding a professional manner while attending/working at dobinsons. If possible to have the Short male manager even moved to Tuggeranong so neither my wife nor I have to be subjected to this kind of treatment it would be really appreciated. Not sure how someone acting like this treating customers like this is allowed to remain employed. But I think at the very least he should not be allowed to attend the Woden/Phillip nor the Belconnen Dobinsons from now on. When I find a way to take this report higher or directly to someone I will send another email/message. Thankyoy for your time. Kind regards,
