Caffe Cozy — Restaurant in Rodney

Back again for a lunch, another dissappointing visit.

This time they obviously didn't listen to our request.

There are two photos attached. One showing previous excellent meals with the sauces supplied on the side in small dishes, the other as it was today, however with all the calimari that had all ready been eaten, and the sauces still partially showing on the remaining chips. 😥

How difficult is it to understand this:- please don't put the chilli sauce all over the calimari, but supply it on the side, and I don't need any aoli at all. As in the first photo.

Also I told them that I cannot have any salt at all on any part of the meal please.

When the meal arrived, I raised the problem of the sauce with the server, which had been poured over the meal, the server offered to remake the meal which was good.

However I said that I could eat it this time, but that was well before I had finished all of the calimari which completely covered all of the chips.

When I finally reached the chips that were underneath the calimari, that was when I noticed that all of the chips had been salted.

It was far too late to do anything about it then, other than explain my concern to the server again, he just shrugged his shoulders and smiled. 😳

My wife had a ham, cheese and pineapple toasted sandwich which was perfect, and my coffee was great, so 2 out of three is not all bad🤔😢.

Can't see us returning back here in the near future.

Following a number of excellent visits, today's visit was very dissappointing.

We ordered our meals, mine arrived in good time, and we waited for my wife's meal to be presented, in the meantime my meal was getting cold.

So I commenced eating it, I finished my meal and after the second enquiry they advised us that they had forgotten to order my wife's meal.

While we waited for this we, had our coffee, my coffee was great.

However my wife's coffee was pathetic, and they agreed to remake it for her.

My wife's meal finally arrived and it was excellent.

Not the service or quality we have been used to recieving from here.

Reviewing this again, it is back to being brilliant.

The last time we visited the chef just must have had a bad day. Saturdays meals were great, just as we have come to expect. 😁

Moved it up to 5 stars

Have to review this cafe today, I was extremely dissappointed with the meal from our previous visits.

Therefore I have changed the stars from 5 to 3, purely based on today's experience.

The crispy calimari wasn't crispy at all. In fact the coating was soft and not at all inticing, I just couldn't eat and enjoy this meal this time! 😬

I always ask for, as we did again this time, for the sauces to be supplied on the side.

However both the aioli and chilli was smothered all over the food, the waitress commented that the chef must have missed her instruction, which I seriously question as being correct.

Very poor experience from what we have had previously.

Just can't beat this place for calimari and chips, as I have said before you can have it with salad but I request just chips. However they provide far too many chips.

The chili dip is spot on, the right amount of heat, aioli is okay as well, but could do without it though, tomato sauce if you want it.

Returned again, for an extremely satisfying lunch, and I repeat my earlier comments, has to be the best calimari ever, cooked to perfection.

Also as before, they do never skimp on the potato fries, well drained, cooked spot on.

We will return, and good excuse to get cheap petrol from the Mobil service station as well.

Had the best ever calimari, with chips instead of salad and too many chips to eat, perfect meal. The coffee with the meal was excellent. This outlet gets very busy, you might have to wait, which is an indicator of how good it is. A must if you are going through Wells Ford, and want a very good meal.

We went back again last week, had the same lunch, with exactly the same result, first class for a local cafe....

Went into Caffe Cozy for a quick bite of lunch.

I bought a steak and mushroom pie which was made on the premises.

Normally with meat pies the usual complaint is, try and hunt out the meat, or, is there any meat, however at this café, it was a case of almost too much meat provided, which left little to no room for the mushrooms or the gravy.

The flaky pastry was great, the pie taste was excellent, possibly could do with a little more gravy, and less meat.

They also provide tomato sauce free on the table, which is a plus.

The long black coffee here is first class.

My wife had a blue berry muffin, which also was a case of, where is the muffin mix, because there were so many blue berries it was hard to see the muffin mix itself.

Great meals and coffee at this café.

A must visit.

The café soon filled up and there were no spare tables, at 11.50am.

Best to get there early if you want a table.

Because this café is so well patronised it was rather noisy, therefore the atmosphere is not that great, however this is the penalty for great food and coffee and good service.

Also they have clean wash room facilities in house, and...

We had a wonderful experience at Caffe Cozy in Wellsford. I loved the generous portion sizes; it really made the meal feel satisfying. I ordered the avocado with salmon eggs benedict, and it was fantastic—super thick spread, fresh, and delicious. The bacon and eggs benedict was also great, offering a nice balance of flavors and a good mix. The iced latte and long black were both decent and complemented the meal nicely.

The prices were very reasonable, making it a great value for the quality and portion sizes. Overall, Caffe Cozy is a lovely spot worth visiting for a satisfying and affordable breakfast experience....
