Magpie Cafe and Sushi 🍣 — Restaurant in Picton

Having breakfast at a café isn’t something I do regularly, but since I was in Picton this morning, I figured I’d treat myself.

Treat myself, I did! I stopped into the Magpie Café unsure as to what I was going to have, but knowing that that I have heard good reports from the locals about its selection and quality. One thing I did know for certain, I wanted my breakfast on a plate, and... bacon. I was craving bacon and the breakfast I got had ample and perfectly cooked, savoury bacon.

The bacon, two eggs, sausage, tomato and toast were the perfect start of the day! With the addition of a cappuccino, this was as close to a faultlessly executed breakfast as was possible.

Now, about the service. I’m a fairly decisive person, but this morning all I was certain of was that I wanted a breakfast with bacon on a plate. The incredibly helpful and patient lady behind the counter helped me quickly decide what I wanted and the creation of my morning meal began. It was delivered to my table outside promptly and, again, with a smile. When I needed a new serviette, one miraculously appeared without even asking.

If I could give the service and food a higher score, I would! Take the time to have breakfast here. It’s a top-notch café in a town with only a few options in...

h a shame since this business changed hands, simply because the staff are rude but more frustratingly they don’t stick to their advertised operating hours which means that when you go thinking they’re open they’re not or they’ve shut off the kitchen and are in the process of closing, simply laughing saying “oh we decided to close early”. Not really funny guys, there already aren’t many takeaway places in Picton, so for the few we do have to be unreliable is just poor effort. This has happened to us so many times now that we won’t be bothering to go back anymore. The previous owners were there most days PAST closing times, never closed early and it was such a staple for locals. Now you just can’t rely on these guys to even be there when their business opening hours says they’re supposed to be. You’ll continue to lose customers if you can’t be a reliable part of the community guys, but you’ve already lost yourself multiple customers with our family...

Looking for chicken and chips in town, Magpie cannot be beat. Yes its casual, yes, there are normally half the operators family hanging around watching TV on the lounge and yes the food is great, the service is great and the price is great. I like it. real people, real family, and people who are not afraid to be rude to me when I deserve it. There is not enough of that in the world anymore. Having a laugh over a bit of casual rudeness. Anyhow a good place Thanks team, keeping doing what you do however you see fit.

Edit. Please get more of the Lychee drink, that stuff...
