Queenie's Cafe — Restaurant in District of Woden Valley

Just love it! ❤️ We go there every day... yes, every day!

Further to my earlier review, above, posted prior to Queenies recent price changes, I was initially concerned that any potential increases would influence my daily visits to the Cafe, but I was pleasantly surprised that the price increases made little impact on the cost of my favourite dishes or coffee. We shall continue to frequent Queenies as much as before.

Yes, there was a minor increase in coffee and other food items, but they were minimal and covered the usual suspects, like milk and eggs, but not significant enough to discourage my regular visits.

On a positive note, the price increase did accompany a new extended menu, with many new delights, which I look forward to trying over forthcoming months.

But for now, the food continues to be delicious, the coffee rich, hot, and to my strength, the service just as friendly, and the total cost not yet burning a hole in my wallet.

I do recommend making Queenies a part of your shopping experience at Mawson, as there are always things to do nearby, which you can do before or after your Queenies queentessential...

I like local businesses and I really want to like this place...but I've been here five times and four times there have been problems. The decor is cute, the food and prices are average, and the service is lacking.

Most recently, they managed to get the flavour, size and takeaway option of my single drink completely wrong.

Twice, they've completely forgotten about me and left me standing waiting for a coffee for 15+ minutes, serving other customers who came way after me.

Another time I ordered four coffees and they gave me just one...normally I'm not fussy and I've tried to give you the benefit of the doubt but you guys really need to sort your stuff out. Maybe ask for clarification if you don't understand the order, offer an apology if you get something wrong, and don't chat too loudly about the customers in Mandarin because some of us might...

We live in difficult times, with the cost of living impacting our way of life in recent years. However, Queenie's, under new management, has endured these tough times and continues to provide quality food, exceptional coffee (now Ona), served by ever-friendly staff.

While prices have had to change marginally, they have tried to continue their value for money reputation.

Accordingly, Queenies have revised their menu, the costs of ingredients, services, coffee, and staff, and tried to balance these with realistic prices, with the outcome of successfully maintaining consistent quality synonymous with the cafe's reputation.

We love eating there, and while they continue to look after customers, as they always do, we will maintain our patronage. I encourage you to go there and try out their wares.
