What a truly negative experience! Bad service, parts of the order missing and a ridiculous wait time for food!
My partner and I came to Jamaica Blue with four of her family members for breakfast this morning. We ordered: 3 x eggs benidict 1 x French toast 2 x big breakfasts Plus coffees for the 6 of us.
The ordering process was as straightforward as at any Cafe and the coffees came out within a reasonable amount of time, it was at this point that any resemblence of "good service" finished.
All the food was brought out, plate by plate, over a 45 minute period. All of the eggs benidict had sides of avocado which wasn't brought out with the meals. When we asked the table staff about said avocado the immediate response was "did you order some?!??" which I felt was rude and unnecessary.
When it got to the point that everyone else had finished their meals and two people where still yet to receive their breakfasts I approached the counter and asked if the rest of the food was still coming out. The bloke behind the counter did apologise but said "we only have a small grill and can't cook much at once". I found this especially frustrating, should I have known this we would have gone a different cafe who can get the basics right (like serving the whole table at the same time).
What's most disappointing was the food, it was average at best. My poached eggs were overcooked, my hollandaise sauce was curdled.
All in all the food wasn't worth the money spent or the time wasted waiting. Considering you can have a meal to a similar or better quality for the same price point, at somewhere like the coffee club, I wouldnt bother with this...
Read moreHad breakfast at Jamaica Blue Bendigo with my partner, exceptionally disappointed with the price. For what you receive the price is not worth it! We got a coke, a coffee, crossiants and a breakfast burger which was small and not worth the $54.60 we paid for it. Very disappointing. My partners coffee was a large and not even full. He also asked for toasted crossiants and they just felt soggy like they were microwaved. The coffee was good, and my burger was good, the service was nice but the suggestion I would make would be to change around your prices. People will stop coming if jt costs a fortune. An extra $5.50 for half an avocado is a bit ridiculous ...
Read moreI asked if they made thickshakes and was told they do. I ordered a camarel thickshake but when it arrived it was a weak milkshake. One of the two people I was dining with returned it to the counter stating it wasn't a thickshake. After they returned to our table I decided to leave as I had already wasted my money. However, the owner/manager than approached my friend, leant down to put her hands on the table and then proceeded to verbally attack her whilst blowing her absolutely disgusting breath in her face. The attitude this lady showed was unprofessional, bordered on assault and was completely unjustified. If only I could give a...
