With over 7 different styles of chairs and exposed pipes in the venue I could already see they focussed on their product and looked forward to it with anticipation. A simple venue offering a range of vegan and GF options for clients; they cater to a broader community of breakfast eaters by giving you standard choices and those that you really wish you could eat every day. The staff are complimentary to the atmosphere with a very welcoming vibe and interest in your experience as a client. We ordered and were promptly served out crepes and coffee within a matter of minutes and as expected fresh and tasty. I deduct one star from my rating because the cream would have been better served if whipped slightly and my berries were still cold from the freezer. It could only have improved my experience overall if they were fresh even if that meant reducing the quantity or maybe amusing a homemade compote sauce from the berries. The whipped cream is just a personal grievance. Price is well suited to speed, quality, hospitality and environment. Would recommend highly if you're in the area.

I really enjoyed my first visit here. Being greeted warmly was a great start. I like the light,…read moreatmosphere and great location. All the cakes looked really fresh and the breakfast menu looked varied and interesting. I had freshly squeezed juice of orange, ginger, apple and carrot. You can make up your own combination. It was delicious and not sweet. My friend had poached eggs on toast and it could have benefitted from a bit nicer presentation and also the rye bread looked a bit more like a biscuit than bread. Just a bit plain. But the eggs looked beautifully cooked, with rich yellow yolks. The coffee came with fab coffee art and a friendly smile. We didn't have to wait long for our order either. On the counter there are self serve jugs to fill from adjacent sink and matching funky, rustic cups. And the best part if one over-indulges on cakes, is being able to walk it off along a stunning beach only a few meters away!

Hmmm. I've tried…read morethis coffee club many times in the past and have frequently been disappointed. Went back today with assurances that with the new manager on duty it had improved greatly from my previous encounters, and it has in fact... but not to a level that I'd like to go back and try it again. My Cappuccino was average and lacking in flavour, as was the cinnamon french toast that I tried. The toast was chewy with barely a taste of cinnamon, most of the flavour from the strawberries and maple syrup that were extras. We were here with my nanna who is currently in a wheelchair, and the coffee club is actually a good place in this kind of circumstance as there is enough room surrounding to park wheelchairs or prams, which is not the case for some of the other coffee shops located in the centre so there is a positive!

My number one choice for food and/or coffee in colonnades. The food and coffee are always…read morefantastic, the service is great and it's child friendly. I just had a long black which was perfect and not at all bitter like it can be at other cafés. I had this with a ciabatta roll in a combo deal which was great value - around $10 I think. Tastiest ciabatta roll ever, pastrami and coleslaw is an excellent combo and was the perfect size. Even though it's right in the middle of the shopping centre with people walking by all the time it still manages to have a relaxing feel about it. Plenty of seating including lots of comfortable couches. The staff are very friendly and never appear bored or negative. My mum has very specific dietary requirements so she always has to ask for the food to be adjusted. Not once have the staff had a problem with that and some of them have even got to know what she can and can't eat before she even asks. There's a small play area to keep kids entertained and they also serve baby cinos and a good kids menu. Unlike some cafés the kids menu is much more appealing and isn't too unhealthy.

Ok, so that was one of the first things I heard from another customer (complaining to a waitress), within minutes of sitting down with my best friend for coffee here. Should I be careful in talking with the staff here? Is this how staff typically talk to their customers? I'm a bit wary of this shop now. After starting my day here at The Coffee Spot, I was expecting a great kick-start to my day. It wasn't really all that. I got what I needed out of it though. The carrot cake was nice, but I've had much better cake put in my mouth at other coffee spots. Man...I'm starting to sound like I can afford coffee every morning. What am I turning into? I was expecting banana bread, but they don't sell that here, so I was sucked into trying their carrot cake. It wasn't bad. It wasn't great. It was just your typical carrot cake, not as exciting as you might think. I moved on to the next shop as quickly as I gulped down their cafe latte.

On the 4 side of 3 1/2, This place is tiny, with tiny tables and a tiny upstairs restaurant, with a decor made up largely of dark woods and chrome this place is so 90's America I feel like I'm in an episode of Frasier. The coffee is made well with average beans, possibly trying a new blend this place could improve (With Koko black next door they should definitely consider it). Fresh cakes and sandwiches are made everyday plus they have all day breakfast - all day breakfast is the best thing in the world... It just is. Decent prices makes this place great if you want a quick bite and a coffee to go.

There is also a selection of a number of different types of baklava . More often than not, though, I will skip the fancy stuff and just grab a bag of croissants. They are pretty damn good, and at $3.60 for a bag of 5.

They stock a lot of cheese (duh!), as well as a lot of local produce - we stocked up on cheese and sourdough bread ... but will definitely have to come back for lunch, since the menu looked very enticing. Brekkie looks good too, but I have heard that it gets very busy!

When I first went here,…read moreI asked whether they did almond milk expecting the answer to be a flat no or like many other cafes, I would get a look as if I were an alien with three heads. Not here!! They cater for us vegans who love a cheeky almond milk latte in the morning. Their takeaway cups are Lavazza so I assume they also use their beans. It's a nice blend: not too bitter, not too tasteless and complete with almond milk, it's a feast for the senses. I have yet to try their food hence my 4-star verdict, however if it's anything like their coffee, I'd be more than willing to give them a 5-star review. The staff are friendly and I've been going so frequently they know my order by heart! Great cafe for those in the area who don't travel to the CBD during the week.

Oreo Cafe is a very popular spot with the locals here, especially the retired ones. They do a great…read morerange of foccacias, as well as cooked lunches including fish and chips, schnitzel, burgers and the like, all only $10-$13. They serve breakfast from 8 until 12 week days, and until 2pm on Saturday. Their breakfast menu is standard, but the food is fresh and hearty. While their foccacias look good and have a tasty range of fillings, they end up being a little small. Mine came out, stacked elegantly one half leaning off the other, looking sadly small and lonely on the plate. I had the prosciutto and cream cheese option, and they're generous on the pig! They use a very thick and tasty type of prosciutto, which went well with the cream cheese and baby spinach leaves. I finished feeling almost satisfied, which I didn't mind, because it meant I could get myself cake later on. I was pleased to find that they do a great coffee - strong and smooth, not too hot, and a generous size. Definitely the best coffee to be had in this centre. Their "Happy Hour" is one for the oldies - from 2.30pm to 3.30pm they have coffee and cake for $6.50 and coffee and biscuit for $4.50. Any later and people won't be sleeping that night. It's a cute little cafe, and does good, simple food at good prices.

If I'm paying 80 cents extra for soy, it'd wanna be something that at least costs them the difference like Bonsoy. Otherwise, it was a good coffee - the bean was Patio's.

If…read moreyou walk down York Street (behind Hungry Jack's), it feels like a bit of a shady alleyway lol. The exterior wall of the shop is definitely eye catching, you won't miss it. After entering, the decorations on the walls inside are also fun and colourful. We ordered a nutter butter and a matcha. The wait was a little long (about 10 mins?) because there were 2 or 3 orders before us. The shop provides some games for people to play, but I didn't get a good look at the selection. Both ice cream cups were delicious, but I think we enjoyed the nutter butter more. The flavours are great, and neither were overly sweet. However I think the full price of $9 per cup is a little expensive. I'd still recommend trying it if it's new to you, and the delightful little store is definitely a nice place to hang out!

The ice cream ends up being pretty solid which I didn't expect. The extra cute touches make it a little more personalized. They don't have a ton of flavors just a variation of a few.
