Okay! Found myself at Cleveland and this place came up…read more Easy enough to walk up off the street to the counter. Bit of a wait for service. Did the COVID formalities and ordered coffee and croissant. The coffee came promptly and the croissant was not too far behind. The coffee was fair for a cafe. There is a good choice of menu items and some are GF and / vegan. The few diners seemed happy enough. Passable.

Friendly staff Spacious and good for groups/families…read more The food was great in portion and came swiftly But the most important thing of course is the coffee...and it was amazing. Well done!

This new cafe/restaurant is what Cleveland needed. It's in a perfect spot away from the traffic at…read morethe back of the library, overlooking Raby Bay Harbour. It can seat 100. The Merlo coffee was spot on, the decor fun and tropical, the food fresh and healthy, and the service friendly. I saw the chef fry the zucchini for my corn fritters with salmon and asparagus. No microwave heating up here! I want to come back from lunch and try the pulled pork wrap! 5 stars

Great Staff, Delicious food and unique, coffee is one the best, the corn fritter is a must try.read more

New favourite! I only discovered Zyka's kitchen yesterday and I am already a huge fan! They are a…read morelittle off the beaten track, not along the main café and shopping area in Cleveland, but this just adds to it's appeal in my opinion. Go to Zyka's Kitchen for the coffee and stay for the relaxed café vibe. The coffee is amazing, service is fast and the staff are enthusiastic and genuinely friendly. Inside has an intimate but relaxed feel. I stopped in by myself yesterday but I am definitely going back with friends. One wall is completely painted a bright, warm red with beautiful lettering spelling the café name in white. The other has quirky artwork and the dark wooden chairs make this small but beautiful space. And the coffee? Perfect! Creamy, hot, sweet and strong. What every girl wants.

O to the M to the G!!! This place just is everyone's healthy…read morefood fantasy. The food here is fresh and dancing on your taste buds even the salads are doing the tango in your mouth and the treat is the sweet potato chips that are the decoration. If that isn't enough to get yourself there then how about the fantastic juices or smoothies that are available. Freshly made to order and always yep always hit the mark. The staff are friendly and with the new renos is absolutely a winning scene to eat your way to bliss. Do yourself a favour and run, ride, train, and yes it's possible boat yourself down to this hub of a place and eat I say eat and try and tell me that your taste buds didn't tango and your hips don't do little wiggle of happiness

Located in the heart of the town centre, Rafferty's is an oasis in Cleveland's commercial district…read more Cane armchairs and tables spill out onto the foot path, and palm trees signal the entrance into the restaurant. There are pictures of citrus everywhere, which adds to the idea of an 'oasis' (on my tropical island, there would be citrus trees, fo' sho'.) Everywhere you go in Cleveland, it seems that being able to order a caesar salad with chicken ($15.90 here) is still big news. Skip this, and go for a seriously old school food bar treat: the steak burger. They take a more sophisticated approach to an olden goldie, but still keep in the classic details. It's made with a rib eye fillet steak, tomato, lettuce, EGG, BEETROOT, and tomato sauce ($12.90 with chips). The only thing that's missing is pineapple! I nearly died from happiness while I inspected my burger for all of the promised ingredients. The coffee is quite nice too. There's no table service, you have to go up to the counter and ask for what you want. You take a number and sit down and wait while your food is made. All in all, I quite like Rafferty's. I was more than happy to have to lean over my plate while I ate my burger because it was so juicy. I wiped the juice off my chin when I was done, but the grin still remained. That was the best burger I've had in a long time.
