The Cutlery Drawer

Three things are important to me: 1. service (friendly, down-to-earth and polite, and quick), 2. atmosphere and physical space, 3. coffee and food. The service is very good - friendly, polite, pretty quick, and real. I have only gone for coffee and the occasional carrot cake. The coffee is great, but a little pricey - $5.50 for a mug is just unnecessary and greedy. There's something about the cakes, they lack something - moisture maybe, the seem a little dry when I go. Atmosphere, layout, interior design, the sofa in one front window, the name, music all just right for my cafe needs!

As a young MS warrior, MSWA Wilson chose this restaurant for our Christmas lunch, and I couldn't have been happier with the food and service. Delicious Thai chicken salad for entreé, a very generous portion of delicious soft fish perfectly crumbed and crusted, and although my selection of chocolate Belgian waffles had to be replaced, the replacement was a most delicious, crumbly almond cake. They very easily catered to our physiotherapy group as well as a couple extra guests. And the cherry on the cake was the fact the entire three course lunch was only $35. A nice atmosphere, kind staff, and delicious food. As well as the ability to cater to a larger group, including ones that had walking aides.

I ordered egg Benedict and long black . The price is high in comparison with the facility the caffe provides plus after finishing my breakfast I have to wait for long time for my coffee the waitress forgotten about us totally then I have to remind her about it. The coffee tasted sour in total the morning experience with the breakfast and caffe . Not impressed.

No consideration for the environment. Nothing more irritating in a cafe than ordering “small flat white to have here” and being served a takeaway cup. If I wanted takeaway I would have brought my own keepcup and specified takeaway. I come in and sit down specifically to avoid plastic waste and they just wasted it anyway! (A good 90mins before closing too, unforgivable).
