The Garden Mill Cafe — Restaurant in Bargara

Lovely goats very gentle Came here for a coffee on Monday and very disappointed to find they were closed. Used facilities and then someone spoke to me after opening the door I thought I locked but was open when I was there just to use the bathroom before leaving after no coffee and idk the guy was a bit rude? He asked if I fed them some of these huge palms that were in the cage and I said no (I did feed them some grass near their cage though and I told him this which he informed me everything had just been sprayed with poison which is concerning considering they offer eco friendly fresh fruit and veg and fruit bearing trees. He promptly went and locked the bathroom after I left and wasn’t interested in reciprocating conversation other than to tell me they are closed Monday and Tuesday so there you go I have updated your hours and I also think the animals should have access to more greenery in their enclosures doesn’t look nice for them to be on dirt poor Guinea pigs and chickens. Again the animals were nicer to me...

Other meals were good but over all very expensive for what we got (or rather didn’t get) and very little service. I would have understood them being out of ingredients but why wasn’t I told and given the option to order something else? If they are going to charge nearly $30 per meal they need to...

Paid $18 for two regular iced coffees takeaway, waited over 15 minutes, then got two chocolate milkshakes with a little bit coffee in them. My friend ordered two small iced coffees with an extra shot in each and got the same size coffee as me, for $17. The staff also came across as rude when we told them they it would have been nice to have been told it was going to be a long wait for our takeaway coffees. As much as I hate to say it, just go to the McCafé down the road, more affordable, better taste and...
