The Retro Cafe — Restaurant in Hobart

Went there for a coffe on a Sunday afternoon at 3 pm - 1, 5 hours before the Cafe closed... First I waited 20 min for a waiter before I needed to go inside to order my coffee there. After I got the coffee (taste was OK!) around 3.30 another waiter immediately started to put away all other chairs, umbrellas and tables. One hour before closing time! It was an immense noise and he even didn't try to do it a little more silently... As if he wanted to show me that I should leave as soon as possible. After 10 minutes of loudness my table and chair stood alone on the boardwalk. I really didn't feel welcome anymore so I decided to pay and leave to find another place where service is not that bad Inside it was as noisy as outside. There were still some guests having coffee and a snack but all the chairs around were already put on the other tables and one waiter was vaccuming the floor while talking on his mobile phone..... That was really the worst experience in an Australian Caffè of my holidays. Everywhere else the staff is friendly, polite and knows how to behave...

So if you wanna start a wonderful morning with a cup of coffee, and you’re looking at this review, think twice if you’re still coming to this cafe. The espresso bar in Salamanca square is much...

Young man working behind the coffee machine spoilt this place. He is very agitated and annoyed at customers. First time visit he got emotional because I asked if he had any sugar after he made my coffee, He slammed down an empty cup as was annoyed and flustered that I asked. Second visit I asked for extra cheese on the toastie and a regular coffee. When the coffee came out it was a small so I explained I asked for a regular. He looked at the receipt and said it was $12 for the toastie, and extra cheese was $2.50. Trying to justify his mistake and continuing to argue like a child would argue. I eventually verified the order and mistake with another staff member. Spoiled my day having Won't go there again even though they make a...
