Second Home Cafe - Baulkham Hills — Restaurant in Sydney

Where do I even begin ?! First of all waited 10 minutes at the door to be seated Was ignored and looked at by multiple staff walking past us, finally after being seated was given menus in my opinion with a passive aggressive attitude Placed our order very slow had to repeat a few times !

Drinks were over priced and served in tiny glasses Once the food came out I was shocked to have paid so much for eggs on toast. When given 1 bit of (not toasted) with tasteless soggy eggs unseasoned avo, and the smallest amount of feta ever. Sat there for 5 minutes waiting for cutlery had to ask for it Server was apologetic so not upset about that Food was not impressive at all for the price they charge After paying for extra chips when we didn’t want them we told the server that the order was wrong and we were met by a very passive aggressive “that’s not what was put through” no “let me fix that” or “we are sorry” quite rude response so we said don’t worry and she walked off

Waited at the register to pay being ignored by yet again 2 staff. The staff walked up and didn’t say a thing not asking how everything was just said tap when ready Was thrown back by the price $78 for a burger and eggs on toast and some kids drinks, ridiculous

As a manager of cafes before this was beyond terrible, lack of customer service and over all just a money hungry cafe. Being a business struck by covid I thought the level of service would be better. Wasn’t busy when we went but staff were very very slow.

Would recommend going to the local IGA on the corner for a...

Saturday morning we walked into the Cafe at 9.15 am. We checked in and were greeted by the COVID-19 Marshall.

After 10 minutes we ordered. Our order: Scrambled eggs with haloumi and a large flat white Scones with a decaf flat white (for a pregnant person)

5 minutes later the server says

We don't have scones. So we order Banana Bread instead.

5 minutes later the server says

We're out of decaf. So we order a hot chocolate.

A few minutes later we get the scones and a hot chocolate. Apparently someone else ordered scones but didn't want them so we got them. Then we get another hot chocolate. We said we already have it and she replies "I don't know what's going on"

This happened 8 times in the 40 minutes we were there.

My eggs were soggy at best and I got 1 piece of haloumi for $3.50. Not worth it.

Now there were 7 different lots of people who showed up after we sat down. None of them checked-in. What's the point of the COVID Marshall?

When we were done... We were told it's busy and "people really like our food so hopefully you enjoyed it too". I replied with "it wasn't a great experience" and he just turned away to another table.

Not sure why so many great reviews but everything was disappointing at best. First and only...
