The Ditto Cafe 1 Rockdale Plaza Drive, Rockdale, New South Wales 2216

"Ditto Cafe offers a wider variety of dishes than other cafes in Rockdale Plaza at reasonable prices. The owners are lovely, and they seem to really take pride in what they do. That said, service can be a bit spotty during busier times, and the wait staff don't seem to be as aware of customers' needs as the owners are. The space is a bit cramped, and next to the plaza entrance where cigarette smoke can waft in. While the cafe itself isn't responsible for this, it does speak to the overall dining experience. Definitely visit this gem if you find yourself in Rockdale, but I'd suggest takeaway rather than dining in."

"Best coffee in the plaza..with lovely servers and food to match..highly recommend...best place to enjoy some sun inside with delicious food."

"Coffee was okay, but this place is attached to a food court. The grilled chicken melt was overpriced at $18. Service almost non-existent"

"Ditto Cafe is a popular cafe chain that serves classic breakfast and lunch dishes, as well as artisanal coffee made from carefully sourced beans. During my recent visit, I had a mixed experience that left me feeling somewhat ambivalent about the establishment. First and foremost, the food at Ditto Cafe is generally good. I ordered the kransky breakfast, which is one of their signature dishes. While the dish was tasty, unfortunately, my order was incorrect, and I received a sausage instead of the kransky I had requested. Moreover, the presentation on the plate was messy, which detracted from the overall dining experience. That being said, the rest of the breakfast was enjoyable, with the eggs cooked to perfection, and the side of avocado adding a fresh and healthy touch to the meal. When it comes to coffee, Ditto Cafe certainly knows what they are doing. The coffee is artisanal, and the beans are carefully sourced, which results in a rich and flavorful cup of joe. However, there are times when the coffee can be inconsistent, and during my visit, it was hit or miss. While I had some good cups of coffee, there were also a few that were underwhelming, and this was a bit disappointing given the cafe's reputation for high-quality coffee. In terms of the atmosphere, Ditto Cafe is a pleasant place to spend some time. The decor is trendy and modern, and the cafe is spacious enough to accommodate a crowd without feeling crowded. The service was also friendly, and the staff was attentive to our needs. However, the noise level can be a bit high, especially during peak hours, which may be a drawback for those seeking a more peaceful dining experience. Another area where Ditto Cafe could improve is their attention to detail. While the food is generally good, the errors in my order and the messy presentation on the plate suggest a lack of attention to detail in the kitchen. Additionally, the inconsistency of the coffee suggests that there may be room for improvement in the cafe's quality control procedures. In summary, I would rate Ditto Cafe as a 3-star establishment. While there are some positives, such as the pleasant atmosphere and the tasty food, there are also some areas that could be improved, such as the attention to detail in the kitchen and the consistency of the coffee. If you are looking for a trendy cafe with good food and coffee, then Ditto Cafe may be worth a visit, but be prepared for a slightly mixed experience."

"Very friendly and helpful staff. They always greet you with a smile on their face. The place is clean and tidy and wasn’t too busy for me to down in for breakfast around 8.45am. I got their bacon and egg roll with a bottle of orange juice. The OJ was fine and tasted good - would’ve been better if the juice was sourced from Australia oranges. The bacon egg roll was absolutely delicious. I just had it with salt and pepper. It was freshly made too (not just reheated like some places do). I highly recommend this cafe. 5 stars for sure!"
