I needed a cake for 200 and they obliged quite easily and with friendly service. The cake was a chocolate caramel mud cake with a chocolate fudge icing.

The open prep area gives off a tradies haunt kind of vibe but they usually spot good food if not great presentation. Gave it a shot as they also had cakes on display which I was needing to get for a family dinner that night. I picked the chocolate cake to take away, BLT wrap with chicken for my partner, chicken and Camembert wrap for me, a coke and an iced chocolate. I'm used to iced chocolates being generously topped with whipped cream but this one had none so that was a bit sad. I was drawn to my wrap as Christmas isn't far away and I instantly connected the delicious duo of Camembert and cranberry. Oddly it was put together with a Mexican theme instead with sweet chilli, avocado and sour cream. It was delicious and not a let down without the cranberry sauce. Both wraps were massive and well filled. My partner especially enjoyed the bacon, tomato and mayo flavour combo. There was a lunch deal of a pie and coke for $6 and definitely bring along your entertainment voucher. The cake itself was just over $41 but with the discount I got it and all our lunch order for only $51. The size of the wraps are definitely what sealed it for me though. I love big portions!

We went today for the Mother's Day high tea. 2 adults and one child with a separate meal. A present…read morefor me from my husband after a previous amazing high tea experience here. Booked as a pre prepared Meal In summary.. Disastrous and appalling. Our booking was for 1230. It took us 15 mins to be seated- was busy. We then waited til another 30mins for our high tea to be confirmed and the menu given. At this time, we were told, that our first course would be ready in 10 mins. At this point, we had been unable to order our coffee or daughters meal. We finally did manage another 15 mins later and to give there due the waitstaff -a young man and lady, were lovely and run off their feet! They were the only two taking orders and cleaning tables Another 20 mins passes, my daughter recieves her hot chocolate, and still no 'first course. Our daughter had finished her drink before the first course then came out. At nearly 2pm. Our much anticipated savoury plate comprised of a couple of scones a quarter of a Herbert Adams mini sausage roll each (my pinky is bigger than the slice received) a temptation bakes petite quiche each (we received a vegetarian, whilst the table behind received the supposed 'smoked ham ' or rather lorraine- according to the owner. A tiny mushy gyoza dumpling thing and 2 small rock hard toasted croissants cut into thirds with a smidge of ham and cheese. All was ice cold. We were starving by this point. Our tasteless coffees came out halfway through with prompting. This was also required for our daughters pancakes which were 3 pikelets with some chocolate, though at least hers did look handmade. We then waited til nearly 245pm for our second sweet course, and this required prompting and a visit to the counter. Which was met with an angry response from the Asian owner. She then also placed the second course rather harshly on our table. The second course was alittle better but not by much. It was two chocolate strawberries a quarter brownie cut in half, some odd marshmallows, a tiny chocolate each, 2 other look to be store brought items(1 each) and small slices of fruit. However again we ate it as we were starving and while high teas aren't meant to be huge, this was just nasty and stingy. We get that it's Mother's Day, it was busy etc but $69.9 per person for high tea, this was a joke. Also it's alittle concerning the amount of what we could observably view and assume we're underage children working behind the scenes in the open kitchen.. And, this place serves alcohol. We finally left this debarcle at 3pm. And during the course of our visit, a number of customers were experiencing the same and heard to remark similarly. I had previously been for a high tea with the previous owners which was amazing as was the breakfast food, and was excited only to leave disgusted and butterly disappointed with a heavy heart at $148 ( Minus the $40.85 booking fee already paid. Also to note there is an EFTPOS surcharge.) It's very obvious the new hands/owner have/are running this business into the ground. In summary will be be back? No. Save your money and head to the Crystal Brook Kingsley,Autumn rooms, Rydges, cake Boi, Local Custom, Mercure, Tocal, Heritage Gardens, Morpeth, the Hunter Valley, Sydney, South Australia even! Anywhere but Coco Monde.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate, so when my friends declined the dessert menu at a restaurant and…read moresaid we were gonna head to Coco Monde to get a chocolate fill to end the evening, I wasn't too excited. It was a Tuesday night so I was expecting it to be empty, but boy was it BUSY!! Had to wait about 15 mins for a table of 5. I asked my friend to order for me. Man did she pull through! She ordered a sharing plate, the Choco Monde Indulgence Plate (Cookies and Cream Cheesecake, Belgian Chocolate Mouse, Spanish Churros and Home Made Hazelnut Praline Ice Cream). When it came it, I was shocked at how rich it looked, I didn't think I was going to be able to stomach so much sugar. We finished every last crumb on that plate! The Cookies and cream cheesecake was my fav! It was soft but firm and actually had nice crunchy pieces of cookies. Can't wait to fly over again and get my choc indulgence. Move over Krispy Kremes, I have a new east coast love.

Main eating areas inside and out, along with some quirky spots. I imagine the evening ambience to be quite nice. I have eaten here much as it tends to be on the dearer side but I've liked what's been presented. The staff all seem fairly young, possibly uni kids who engage each other more than worrying about patrons. But they are nice non the less. The outside area is great for those who want a little something and have your dogs with you.

Says the coffee is very good although I don't drink coffee so can't agree or disagree. Wait for food was longer than expected considering we were only 3 of the 4 customers there. Thickshake whilst a reasonable price of $6 and full chocolate flavour was a milkshake. Lots of places not getting this right of late! My mums lamb burger looked great and she loved it. Herb chips were crisp and well seasoned. My felafel wrap wasn't what I was expecting. I pictured patties or balls but this was thin and spread across the wrap. Tasted fine though and I enjoyed the pickles that came with. Bought a slice of chocolate baklava cheesecake to share at home with my partner. The slice was more than generous. I'm not big on cheesecake, nor is my partner or baklava but the combination is perfect. Not too sweet. Cheesecake balanced the often sickly syrup and the chocolate base and pieces completed the trio. One of their Easter treats that can be preordered but may be a staple on their menu now. Definitely get some of this! Flies were an issue with the open door and more than enough to be a nuisance.

They do have a small selection of pastries and food which I'm assured are excellent. Is a little noisy from being on the main road, but an indoor seat sorts that out.

Well, it came down to this one, and honestly, this one was nowhere near better than the previous I had visited.

The service was okay, but I found the tea to be a little too strong. It really isn't one that I'd be hurrying back to any time soon.

Dude was singing the blues like his dog ran away and his wife just left with his best friend and all he had left was his guitar and a pocket full of stories.
