Dôme Café

"My wife and I are Dome regulars but first timers at this one. The only staff were the two weird owners who look like husband and wife. He’s tall and hovers like a hawk, she looks sullenly in your direction with zero eye contact. I am expecting a divorce soon. He flashes a swanky Rolex as he tried to hurry us along, attempting to take our coffee cups before we had finished. It was 3:15 and they close at 4; yet he was saying that they were closing up because they had been up since 3 in the morning. They seem to be penny-pinching on staff. The vibe was weird; the owners were weird; and my wife and I will not be going back there again."

"I am a fan of eating at Dome, but this particular location has a very weird vibe due to the strange owners running it. Despite this, I have continued to visit on and off. However, today I went in to get a coffee and noticing the order line was long I decided to use the restroom first before ordering. When I returned I was accosted by one of the owners who regularly weirdly sits by the passage to the toilet as if he is guarding access. He demanded to know if I was going to order something and informed me he was the owner and he had a right to know. I can't say I have experienced this before at any other Dome, won't go back again. The weird thing is I am sure the owners recognise me as I have been a regular customer for quite some time so he would have known I was there to buy something. Won't visit this one again, better coffee across the road at C15, along with proper service. No one guarding the restroom door either."

"Small space for seating, doesn’t seem suitable for larger audiences / bookings. Coffee is decent and it’s situated in a nice area, public art pieces and established greenery. Nothing that makes it stand out incredible from the rest, but a lovely small coffee shop."

"I’m not normally a fan of Dome. However, the handful of times I’ve stopped here, I’m usually in the area for an appointment and in need of a coffee afterward, sometimes I have a kiddo with me. Maybe because I’m usually there mid morning Monday or Tuesdays, they don’t seem overly busy, and so service is always prompt and polite. I’ve never had a bad coffee from them, and my kiddo usually gets a spearmint shake and always comments how good it is. Last time we stopped for food too, a brekky wrap and kids slider, food was fresh, hot and tasty. Loss of star because the water tap is always out of order."

"Zero service here - no wonder it’s empty. No AC inside on a hot day because they have to leave the door open apparently. The people working here have zero customer service skills. What a poor coffee experience. There are plenty of places for a decent coffee nearby."
