The staff here are amazing. Friendly and courteous, they made sure everything was perfect. There meals all came out at the same time, even though there was a bit of a delay. This was due to the large crowd that had while we were there (also a good sign). We were kept up to date and told when things were going to be close. Seating is indoors or outdoors, and they have gas heaters if it gets too brisk. Definitely worth coming to with amazing food, great staff and

For the price I think I can do better.

We had to ask a waiter (after waiting for about 10-15 mins) to clear our table of dirty plates from the previous diners and for menus and water.

On the day I visited, they also offered a 2 course lunch special, which was antipasto followed by a choice of 4 mains and a drink (wine, beer, cider or soft) for $24. I ordered the Mexican chimichanga, which was a chickpea and bacon burrito with salad and yoghurt dressing. It sounds like a bit of a fusion mess but was actually very yummy. Fish and chips was the most popular item on the menu as it was Friday and the chips were delicious. I had admired the cake cabinet extensively so ordered tea and cake as well. Both were excellent. Partner ordered a coffee and it was perfectly adequate for a coffee snob. Service was prompt and friendly and the location with the stained glass windows is beautiful. Recommended.

Being seated in the lower area and dining surrounded by books was lovely. The food itself was not as good as to be expected. It is (or as visible to my family and I) an all day breakfast cafe which was unexpected, but we didn't mind having brunch. The food was not to taste and I personally found the eggs Benedict quite disappointing (far too much meat, of high quality, and the sriracha hollandaise was foamy and tasteless). The big breakfast is good value, however the smaller items appear overpriced for the quality level. No doubt the coffee is amazing as this place is so popular, but I can't recommend paying for the food here. Definitely a place to sit and enjoy coffee in this cafe, however that being said the cafe wasn't very full when I dined here so when noise levels increase it's peaceful appeal would greatly lessen. As a young woman going out to cafe there are quieter places to eat with better food while being surrounded by books.
