Camden Grove Cafe — Restaurant in Sydney

I am not local and was visiting Camden for the day, wanted a coffee before heading home, it was exactly 5pm on a Thursday, place was "open" for business as the sign was outside the building, lights were on, tables were set, but the outside door was closed and only the one next to the counter inside the building was open. The large access door to the building required a key to be opened... I waited for 15 min in the pouring rain to see if someone else had arrived or anyone inside appeared... another potential customer arrived and left immediately and told me to go to XS as it was not the first time this had happened. A male apperaded twice inside the counter, not acknowledging us at all.

Change your hours or put a sign about what to do if you leave the place unattended so we either know what to do or leave to go...

Decent coffee. Seems relatively new place. I would expect them to improve their coffee on correct espresso preparations. It has a lot of potential to grow. The place and ambience is just fantastic. I would expect them to not cut corners in the kitchen. Noticed the chef using his bare hands to place the pastries in the window. May be use the tongs next time for better hygiene.

It has a very good potential and requires immense passion and class for making it one of the fine dine...

Charming Cafe. Everything was fine except for the food. Salmon Rissoles. Hardly any Salmon mainly potato and veg crumbed. Only 2 with serving of small delicious crunchy fries and a table spoon and a bit of salad. Coffee was amazing. Everything else was perfect. But for $22 and walk away...
