"Order certain coffees and get card stamped. Gets to free coffee and order exact same coffee and made to pay 80c for the option.....you got the extra every other coffee just shout the person. Wasn't even me....horrible interaction to watch"
"Awesome staff and hospitality. Their menu is really good. Well cooked meals that serve not only lunch but breakfast as well. Best chai latte here as well!"
"Waiters were very friendly and efficient and the mechanical waiter was amazing. Forget to pay and a waiter came out to remind us and he was so lovely about it. Food was ok but I've had better from their. Going back in about a months time."
"Been to this cafe a few times before to meet colleagues over a coffee. The last few times we met there at 11.30am, no problems. On our most recent visit, I got there a bit earlier than the others so went ahead & ordered my coffee. The guy tells me I need to have it takeaway or go outside as it’s lunch time, their busy time. Most tables inside & out were available at this point so I was very surprised & thought he was kidding. Apparently not. I pointed out that I was a paying customer & that I was meeting others as well who will be paying customers. He just repeated that it’s their busy period & asked for my order again (which turned out to be the wrong size but whatever). I went ahead & sat at one of several available tables. Couldn’t exactly go anywhere else at that point as I’d prearranged to meet there. When the waitress brought my coffee, she too said it’s their busy time and I’d have to vacate the table! I advised her that her colleague had already mentioned this (felt like badgering at this point) & that we’ll go somewhere else in future. As she walked away, she muttered something like ‘we won’t serve you’! How rude. We finished our meeting at 12 and, lo and behold, there were still plenty of tables available even though it was their ‘busy period’! Look, I get that cafes have gone through hard times & still struggle now but to unnecessarily ostracise customers when it wasn’t actually busy at the time we were there makes no business sense whatsoever. See another similar comment here & the owner’s response clearly stating their unreasonable position that if you don’t order food, you’re not welcome to sit down! I do not recommend this place"
"Our weekly breakfast. Staff are incredible and like to have fun. Enjoyable atmosphere and delicious food served with a smile. Hope to continue going there weekly for sometime to come."
