The lady that served us was pretty average... not polite, after ordering 2 flat whites we returned 1 as it was a cappuccino.... after seeing Bridget and her workmate Cara(I'm sure) looking and swearing in our direction we were given exactly the same rubbish version of a flat white(cappuccino) we left it at that. I ordered the big breakfast, eggs are well over cooked. Now I have eaten here before and it was amazing with excellent service. All the staff are different by the looks

Didn't clean a single table the entire time we were there. No clean tables available so we sat at one that just had a few plates/cups left. After 2 staff walked back from delivering coffees empty handed we moved the dishes to a neighboring table. Of the tables that did get cleared none were cleaned. Baby chair looked grubby too. And no, it wasn't a short staff thing because there were 2 girls busy chatting doing nothing behind the counter. Older couple had grabbed water glasses and I had to let them know one of the glasses was grubby as they didn't see. Was asked if I wanted chips or salad with my bagel, only to see I was charged an extra $12.50 for the chips I said yes to, when they made it seem lile it was a choice of side. Food was delicious. Shame about the cleanliness because if it's like that on the customer side I'd hate to think what the kitchen was like. Won't be returning

Too much hollandaise sauce - recommend asking for it on the side. Coffee was not good.
There were lots of staff - so service today was fast. Although need to work on communication skills, like listening to the customers requests and advise expectations.
Just a commercial chain cafe attached to Mitre10 so lacks atmosphere - does look over the garden section.

Worst coffee myself and my family have ever had! So watery, milk sloppy. Didn’t even taste like coffee and we all had different coffees and they all looked the same. Definitely won’t be back until you train your barista!
Can't remember which day this was but staff are always professional, friendly and efficient even if they were a bit short-staffed. Haven't sorted out which of the Chiabata or 5 Grain toast is better under poached eggs. I'll have to keep experimenting I guess.
14Nov2023 5 grain toast today plus a pot of Earl Grey with milk, not lemon (as the lady from England mentioned) ... Still a neat place to chill for an hour ...

Young barista Clara made & served me an excellent double shot flat white coffee 👍 with a smile! 😊 however, the muffin was a bit stodgy & very pricey at $7.50 😱

Used to be a one of my go to breakfast cafes. However, the Columbus breakfast has shrunk. One mushroom cut up and fried does not make "mushrooms". Cocktail sausages do not equal breakfast sausages. Tables were dirty, and watched staff only wipe HALF of a table, leaving food stuck to the other half.

The food and coffee is mostly good. My husband ordered the seafood chowder and was very disappointed. I wish something could be done about the acoustics as it is very difficult to hear and noises like someone dropping a spoon are very loud.
