Pizza Café — Restaurant in Mildura

Popped in for a coffee, was excellent friendly service and atmosphere Joseph made my coffee (I had ten sugars it's how I like it) while I waiting for my coffee I looked around while I sat at a table by myself, on my way out I looked into the large room on the right saw pizzas on those raised platters and everyone in the full room with smiles on their faces, when I get work in mildura somewhere I'll be able to go try the pizzas for myself. Haven't had a coffee there since I was working at the Mildura brewery next door in 2011-2012. It brings me back to a memory where I met an old guy that used to be there while I was working next door. I took his order once and even though I couldn't speak his language the pronunciation was written in English so I read it back to him, anyway I would recommend this venue to any large group coming to visit that loves pizza or pasta and I enjoyed my coffee today just as I did then, I'll definitely be back.they also have wine ice cream and I'm sure other things I just didn't really look around too much. Joseph my coffee was...

Unfortunately this week when we visited something felt off. We proceeded to ask for a table anyway. We didn't get much service until much later. Two lovely young girls came but they looked sad. Anyhow we ordered a kids meal and it wasn't cheap _ $15 plus sunday surcharge for that you only get tiny little plate even our son cried and said he is still hungry. I couldn't believe my eyes the plate was so small even a kid was shocked. The audit meal was wrong which was okay we got the right one eventually. The pizza was chewy and dry had no taste except that bit of sauce that gave it character. The tables were squeeqy and uncomfortable.. we left disappointed and very sad that it wasn't a good dining experience that we don't get to do often. Our hungry child came home to eat again soon after. A very poor experience that cost $80 approx is not ideal but we move on of course. Which these places didn't get so greedy upping prices so much, at least give bigger serves. Sad. But hey life is such. We definitely won't be back there , used to be...

Visited the new Cafe here for lunch... I loved the style and atmosphere. Was not asked to scan in but did show Vax certificate. Staff very friendly and efficient. House water was hot not drinkable. My glass had old lipstick on it. Not a great start 🤔 I ordered the rice & Quinoa with Avacado, Pumpkin, roasted tomatoes & pickled cucumber dish and crumbed Haloumi as a side extra...It looked absolutely fantastic. The Haloumi was a generous portion. Crumbed golden brown with great crunch but that was where it stopped for me. The cheese was thick and didn't have that salty taste or texture I usually expect from Haloumi. So the mains eaten altogether with a bit of this with that pleasant 😊 However the vinegar in the cucumber was over powering and clashed with the creamy dressing in the Carrot bean shoot salad. The coffee was 10/10. Smooth creamy and hot. My friend enjoyed her lunch she said it was nice. So overall about a 6/10 but I will go back and try again as it may have just been a...
