I went in to buy a coffee and a warm soy milk. The man behind the counter charges me the same for a warm milk as a coffee. $ 4 for a cup of warm milk! The justification was that it is the same amount of milk As in a coffee! So the coffee is worth nothing!

We were walking past at afternoon tea time so decided to pop in; got a confusing reaction and discovered it was 15 minutes until closing. So we decided cakes & milkshakes so that we could eat before closing. It was all average, especially the cake & tart, and I was very surprised at the high prices given the low quality.

Went there a couple of days ago, they were not super busy. Coffee was very average, no more than a 6⁄10. I ordered a vanilla slice which was stale, I made a comment to the waitress and she said she would communicate it back to the chef. Thankfully it was removed from the bill but the fact that it was served in the first place is poor. I won’t be going back there.

This little café is on the corner of the strip of shops and parking is right out front. From what I can tell it looks like it used to be or next to an ex video rental store as there are markings on the road for video rental parking. I loved the wallpaper and design that they’ve put into the place. Menu was easy to read and wasn’t overly littered with choices. Service was a little slow and hard to get a waitress’s attention but the quality and taste of the food made up for this. Felt just like being an inner suburb café only further away from the city. Great place to catch up over some breakfast, brunch or even lunch.

Great food. ALWAYSBOOK. It’s very busy for weekend breakfast and you need to book TWOWEEKS in advance. Service can sometimes be a little slow with staff standing around chatting but not all the time. Coffee is superb and the menu is good if not diverse. Food quality is really good and ingredients seem fresh and thought has gone into presentation with nice plates etc. great for meeting friends and they accept children and have high chairs.

Great coffee, in a funky atmosphere. This café has the look and feel of an inner city café but is out in the burbs which is a massive plus for those of us not working or living in. The food is of a good, often great quality and the free wifi is a huge plus. The only drawback is having nowhere to plug your laptop/tablet in while working. There’s also plenty of room for prams which is important as there’s often quite a few of them here on weekdays for lunch! The kids menu helps with the family friendly feel too. Love it and will come back!

Poor value. They ask a lot for the basics. Their food isn’t bad but they charge like wounded bulls for what you get. Eggs on toast is a crazy $ 13 for one stingy slice of toast with some scramble on top. Add two extras and your basic simple brekky is over $ 20. What a rip off! The straw to break the camel’s back is that if you ask for a little more butter than the scanty blob they gave you, they charge you for it. These are money hungry, delusional owners. Thank god there are other better options in the same strip. Won’t be back.

Average but expensive food. However an extremely rude owner. I’ve seen reviews where he has asked people to leave who either don’t order enough or, in the case of my party, wanted a very simple variation. Unfriendly and an extremely bad vibe. The owner took over mid 2013, the previous boys who ran it were great. This new one is extremely offensive.

So this place is cool, really cool and I will definitely be back again. Unfortunately I didn’t get an amazing dish which warrants my four star rating… I am hoping to update it though to five stars on another visit. I tried the asian seafood salad, which had amazing seafood but unfortunately a more boring salad with little seasoning. The deserts we had here were amazing and the coffee was also excellent. The feature wall has books stuck to it with one layer of white paint… it’s really quirky but fun…

This café is located in a row of shops that have about 4 other cafes but this one would be my top preference at the moment. Barclays down the road is pretty good also. I would rate Chapter too quite high! Awesome décor. They serve 5 senses coffee. The staff is great and so is the atmosphere. Seats are not crowded, the tables are well spaced, allowing mums with prams to easily navigate inside. They have a communal table on the inside, well actually — it is made up of a few tables kinda stacked on top of each other. Pretty cool. They have outside seating, their menu is small menu but everything looks good and they have many different options for breakfast which I appreciate. Their serving plates are also very cool — chips and my mini bircher got served in mini terracotta pots. Win!
