Normally I would rate the Proprietor 5 stars, I recommend it to all my friends and name it my favorite place to eat in Albury!! However I had a rather disappointing experience today.. I have been going here for years now, I love most things on the menu however I can never bring myself to pass up the one of a kind honeycomb waffles with bananas and maple syrup. As I looked over the menu, I was shocked to discover that the waffles had vanished! After talking to staff members I was informed that they are no longer on the menu and I was forced to order the new alternate waffles with strawberries and cream.. which have also had a price change from $15 to $17 I might add! Considering the Proprietor is basically the only place in Albury that sells waffles, I am shocked that they would remove this unique dish from their menu which helped them stand out from the other local competition. Because of this I am now on the hunt for a new go-to restaurant in...
Read moreBusy little cafe in a nice part of Albury. Lots of seating available and friendly staff. Menu full of lots of choices reasonably priced. Coffee of good ilk (Padre) but the barista on the day didn't do the blend the justice it deserves.
Perhaps the issue I think I had was the menu almost had too much on it which caused a bit of backup in the kitchen. Our food and coffee was able to be ordered promptly and delivered quite quickly, but we couldn't help but overhear three other tables with some type of timing complaint.

I would go back as there were some other interesting things on the menu and it's fairly convenient to get to off the highway on the...

However, I was told that they were already too busy and that it would be better if we just sat where he put us. Paired with a clearly disgruntled attitude by staff, the interaction itself was not a nice one.
Now, this would have been okay had we been treated like patrons following this. However, we proceeded to wait 30 minutes to have our order taken while three other tables that were seated after us had their order taken and food delivered. We were constantly ignored by staff even though we were the only one with menus waiting to order.
Couldn’t sit through anymore so we left to have brunch elsewhere. While I can’t attest for the food, the service...
