The Coffee Club Café - Gladstone — Restaurant in Queensland

This place is really hit and miss. I usually like going there. The service is first rate but the food depends I suppose, on staff rostered on at the time.

The ricotta was a tiny amount with a couple of drops of honey on top. The cinnamon chips, however were good. I was so embarrased. She wouldn't let me send it back to the kitchen as we didn't have time. Unfortunately for Gladstone there is little competition in the town and The Coffee Club is taking...

The coffee is good rather than great, but the food (my usual Feta/Avocado/Salmon stack on Ciabatta) has consistently been of a very reasonable standard.

What was supposed to be a breakfast date together was pitiful. The girl serving at counter was run off her feet. The two other girls talked more than anything. Would not recommend...
