I'm not sure if its because I've dined here at absurd times of 5am or earlier, but the food just tastes so good here! After a farewell to my grandparents who were off on holiday, my mum and I decided to get some (very) early breakfast here. I had a great tasting bagel which I had heated up for me, and a chocolate caramel slice (probably not ideal for 5am, but the lack of sleep affected me). Both were delicious, and to be honest it took a while to decide what to get, as they have a lot to choose from! I avoided having coffee this particular morning as I couldn't wait to get home and crash, but I can vouch for their flat whites- the couple of times I've had them have been really good. The staff here were quite good, at least for the early morning shift they were working! As far as decor goes, I like the sleek, modern look of the cafe- definitely a much-needed update at the international terminal. There are only a few tables to sit at right by the cafe, but if you're lucky the food court tables won't be too packed and you can find a seat easily. International travellers, if you're in a rush and need to go through security, don't fret- there's a Cafe Espresso after the security doors too. Win win!

It's one of my much-loved places to eat in the mall when I have time. This place can get crowded quite fast and its quite popular among the older generation. Their all-day breakfast menu covers all the bases and they do it really well here. I love their french toast. It's served with bacon, maple syrup, and a decent amount of seasonal fresh fruit, although I do enjoy their caramelised banana when they have it! The pancakes here are good too and when I'm feeling a bit heartier than usual, their big breakfast always does the trick (they also have a vegetarian option of this available). If you don't want to order off the menu, they've got a range of baked goodness for you. I always get their vege savoury for a quick bite, and on a cheat day I'll definitely be getting the the chicken and mushroom pie, its always tasty. I don't usually go for their pastas but they're usually sold out by mid-afternoon. Hollywood Bakery is a great option in the mall that's away from the food court and gives you a chance to sit down and relax between shopping destinations. Or just pop in for a coffee to go and a savoury for a quick yet satisfying bite.

My favourite combo to get is a bacon and egg muffin from the hot food cabinet and a flat white. It always tastes like they made it 10 mins ago, and proves to be very popular, as I rarely find more than 1 left in the cabinet in the late hours of the morning. Their Neenish tarts are simply to die for and club sandwiches are a nice addition if you don't want to feel too bad about the amount of fat you're creating. Then, once you're done, continue your shopping escapade without wanting to buy everything that looks marginally delectable. Also, these guys bake cakes for events, make breakfasts and have award winning pies. Seriously, would you go anywhere else?

iCoco cafe proves the old adage " don't judge a book by it's cover." From the outside, iCoco looks…read morelike one of those terrible, bland cafes that serve automatic coffee and tasteless meals. But once you venture inside, a whole different experience awaits. iCoco has actually won Metro's best cafe award multiple times, and when I came for a breakfast it was obvious as to just why they receive such rave reviews. The service was great - even though the place was super busy, the waitress had time to stop and greet us on her way past, then have a chat with us as my friend puzzled over what to get. The food itself was great - big portions, cooked well, just the way I like it. The coffee was strong and had a heady crema, and despite the amount of people inside, the noise level wasn't too bad. I'll definitely head back , especially for a lunch - as their menu looks too good to miss out.

Great place to eat. I have to request opinion on there expansion of making ruby a bigger setting…read moreis this, Ruby if you expand your size of cafe you will not be considered just a cafe but restaurant setting. So i recommend this reassess your pricing for food and dont copy cat the others food but align your pricing with other competitors. To be honest you dont need 9 to 11 staff working at one time I see up tp 11 staff working at one time why the extra cost I feel is why your prices are so high. Your food needs to be reduce because its like your trying to be something your not and if your meals were bit bigger portion for value of money then I would pay scotch fillet meal at $33 which needs a reset and would be appreciated if seasoned for the price I pay. I would look around at prices in cbd and the bridge alone in my view if you keep increasing prices might impact on your new expansion of premises and you should be looking at selling based on volume and not setting it at high mask prices may deter your customers away down the track.
