3 stars for these reasons
I rate them 2 stars on service. Service is more than just taking orders and asking how your food is. We ordered 5 mains, 5 drinks. First two drinks came out and then 2 meals. this was followed by a 15 minute wait until another drink came out followed by another 20 minute wait for the other 3 plates and two coffees. We also witnessed staff serve the wrong order to a table 3 times and repeatedly asked the barista "what coffee is this and who was it for again". In most cases, drinks should come out while you wait for the food to arrive. All food should be served at the same time, as a frequent diner this is the standard. unless of course you have children then they are priority service.
Waitress also placed meals on the tables without saying what food was what, which in most cases seems ok but for people with food allergies that may have ordered something different, I seem this unacceptable. We also order two different juices, the waitress served them both to the table saying "the first fresh juice 10 Minute wait the second fresh juice" the juices were different and she wasnt sure which was which.
I rate them 4 stars on food.
Although 4 out of the 5 meals were exceptional I would avoid the green nourish bowl unless you want the US to invaid your plate due to the quantity of what seemed to be pure oil "lemon vinegrette". I hope this was a one off, as the quantity of vinegrette made the salad leafs almost float on the river of oil.
Happy to return again if I am in town, just like to throw down some honest reviews rather than "5 stars cause me coffee was good, regardless of the wait...
Read moreI rarely, if ever, write a review, but this one was so worthy. You just have to visit this fantastic little Cafe under new ownership, and you have to try the most incredible breakfast/brunch.
Let me introduce you to the Pulled Pork Benny - what could possible be the best breakfast ever. I had to have it two days in a row just to be sure. Imagine this ... a smashed avo base, with super crispy hash browns, delicious juicy pulled pork, topped off with a couple of perfect poached eggs and drizzled with a delicious chilli hollandaise sauce. Delicious is an understatement ... I had to take my time eating every bite just to make each moment last longer.
The coffee is awesome, the atmosphere is happening and buzzy for a sleepy little town on the northern central coast. The owner and locals are friendly too.
If you ever find yourself in Caves Beach, or driving past on the central coast, it is absolutely worth the stop or the diversion. I now have a reason to leave Sydney and come for a...
Read moreLittle nice café with a vibrant atmosphere, very popular locally. When we came, all tables were full, so we had to wait some time. Friendly staff. Great range of options in the menu; we were a big group, so we tried many of them. Açaí was a nice choice for a light breakfast, and I really enjoyed their coffee. My partner shared that their beef burger with the truffle mayo was tasty. Vegan pancakes were beautifully decorated but a bit too sweet, so eating them together with the açaí was just right. A chocolate croissant was full of chocolate, which is often not the case in other places. Overall, if you're looking for a place to enjoy a great meal and soak up a wonderful atmosphere, this cafe is...
