Caffe Acqua - Spaghetti Bolognese (the culprit hahaha)

I've been wanting to check this place out since Ive first noticed it. The outside appearance looks…read moreso enticing with the picture of the menu and the cheap 10 to 15 aud meals. What makes it more inviting is the crowd of people entering the place. They must be doing something right to make it that popular. We ordered seafood platter, spaghetti bolognese and iced chocolate drink. The iced chocolate was served to us immediately. It looks so fancy and the taste is actually yummy. A good first impression. While waiting, I get to observed the place more closely. It's a minimalistic themed place and despite being crowded, they get to maintain the cleanliness of the place. So we've waited and waited. It's been 10 minutes and still no food on the table. Me and hubby considered the busy-ness of the place. I just thought, might as well wait and have good quality food instead of a fast but cheapo finish. Our iced chocolate was starting to melt and that's when I began counting the time. Approximately 15 to 20 minutes passed before food arrived (Iced chocolate no more lol lol). But we had plenty of time so it was alright. Mind you, the presentation was impressive with the seafood platter. The spaghetti bolognese looks simply appetizing too. Unfortunately, the taste wasnt at par to the look. My hubby was really disappointed with the food. You see he loves his spaghetti, and this one frustrated him soooo much. LOL He finds it bland and taste like minced meat caserrole or something. He just can't taste the sphagetti-ness of its sauce. I tried it and it was ok but it reminds me more of a Villie's meat pie filling than spaghetti. Also, the sauce is not your creamy pasta but a watery one. The seafood platter is not bad though but not outstanding either. The ingredients are just the usual fish n chips taste--- not oily but bland. The garlic prawn is ok. I like the pepper squid-- just the right saltiness to it. I like the mayo dip and the salad. Like i said, it's ok but not something I would crave for the second time. If I'll summarize our experience here. It's not too bad compared to the usual fastfood. They have big servings but food is more visually appealing than its taste. If we'll come back, I would probably try their steak. But hubby was pissed with their spaghetti (lol) so it wont happen anytime soon.

I went here yesterday for a coffee with a client and I was disappointed. Let's start with the good…read more The coffee I had was nice. The waitress was pleasant and attentive, but then there weren't many customers. I've previously been here and the food is not bad and generally good value. Now for the bad. We arrived at about 10:30am and they don't open until 11am. Given the shops are open and they were busy, I'm not sure why they wouldn't open a little earlier to capture morning foot traffic. As it was, Cibo was busy and we would have gone there except they don't have high chairs and I had my 2 year old with me. So, after waiting for them to open, we took a seat upstairs on the bench so my daughter could sit there. I'm disgusted to say, the upholstery on the bench seats was horribly torn in numerous places. I get that running a cafe has some hefty expenses, but to me, that is something that should be fixed as a priority, or block that area off. Next, I had the pleasure of using their bathroom. Perhaps they could also fix the broken taps and fill the soap dispensers. I'm pretty sure Bunnings sells tapware in sets of 2 for $20. Just saying. I realise I'm being very critical here, but this cafe exists in a busy precinct with a lot of competition. I feel they will follow the Churchill Centre Caffe Acqua, and close down, if they don't improve their customers dining experience. Needless to say, I'll bring a booster seat and go to Cibo next time.
