I feel a bit torn writing this review! I feel like the food was good enough to warrant a 4 (maybe…read moreeven a 4.5) but the service was... meh. I stopped in here with my husband for breakfast before catching an early train. We each grabbed some mango coconut banana bread, and I had an avocado banana smoothie, and my husband got a cappuccino. Both the food and the smoothie were great. Like really, really good. My husband was satisfied with his coffee as well. Another plus was the location (literally across the street from the North Wollongong train station, how can you beat that? Especially right before a long train trip!). In terms of looks and decor, the place was average. The place itself is quite small, but I suppose most people just come here to grab food before their commute and that they don't actually need a lot of space to sit or anything. But yeah, the service was definitely lacking. I couldn't say they were outright rude, but I put a high value on good customer service, and I'd label theirs as passable but not really pleasant. When I stepped up to order, I saw some smoothie flavours on the menu that were blocked from view before, so I stopped in the middle of my order & asked for a sec to check those flavours (which is good cos I ended up ordering that really good smoothie!). I swear it took all of 15 seconds for me to look it over and decide on something, but the guy at the till acted like it was the BIGGEST inconvenience in all the world, even though there was only 1 other customer in the cafe. All 3 of the staff there seemed tense and kind of negative; the atmosphere inside was not very pleasant. Just not very friendly or welcoming at all. That said, I would go back here again and suffer the glare of the unfriendly staff for more of that mango coconut banana bread. It's a place worth going to :)
