This place is GREAT!!!!!!!!!!! :D We ordered a bubblegum macaron, a pink macaron and a kids cheeseburger. The chips that came with the cheeseburger was great 👍, and the macaron was also good. The burgur was 'ok' but tasted a bit wired... BUT.......... The chips that came with it was good 😊. The staff was very nice and worked alot. But the problem with this place is that the macorons don't make sense. So, if the pink macaron has pink cream in it should the bubblegum macaron (that is the colour blue) have blue cream? You might think yes but.... WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!! It doesn't have blue cream but has pink cream instead. It makes no sense. :( i beleave the that the bubblegum macaron should have 1 stars. why? BECAUSE IT MAKES NO SENSE!!!!!!! What's good about the bubblegum macaron is that it has sprinkles but here is where things get EVEN worse, the pink macaron has no sprinkles.......... Yes. It makes it even worse. I'm not trying to be mad but, that feels... Sad Because of that, it's not fair at all, like, most of the people will buy the bubblegum macaron instead of the pink one. And if the bubblegum macaron runs out, some people might not buy the pink macaron, at all because it has no sprinkles. If you REMOVED the sprinkles on the bubblegum macaron, then that's fair, or maybe ADD sprinkles on the pink macaron, then that will also be fair And if the bubblegum macaron has pink cream why not replace it blue cream, OR instead of that, maybe replace the pink macaron's cream that is with blue cream? And now ( if your not a staff member, of this cafe, you might want to read this part) the pricing, this place is very expensive, we had 22$ and at the end we only had 1.80$, and we only bought 2 macarons and a kids cheeseburger. The burger worth it but the macarons? ABSOLUTELY EXPENSIVE!!!!!! One MACARON is 3.90$, YOU CAN GET 6 FROM COLES FOR 7$!!!! It's very expensive here. It's sad how the slide is broken 💔😭 but it's good about how the rest of the park is good. (just note that this is a 12 year old boy saying and typing all of this with a 7 year old girl). Recommended to try: kids cheese burger 🍔😋🧀

Cute little cafe that’s really family friendly, and has free WiFi, so I was here for a couple of hours working. The cafe has a park right next to it, so it’s very children friendly and would highly recommend for people with children. The only complaint I have about this location is the food is a little on the pricey end. Besides that, amazing customer service.

This place has really gone down hill over the years. I’ve been coming here since its conception many, many moons ago and I’ve witnessed the quality (and quantity) plummet exponentially. I do not recommend purchasing food, stick to the coffee and ONLY the coffee if you must. They use Roasting Warehouse beans which are consistently good but that is all they do that is good unfortunately. Our fairly modest order came to a whopping $96 (2 toasties, one kids nugget meal, a Portuguese burger, 3 milkshakes and an ice coffee 🫠). The prices are extremely inflated, kind of what one would expect from a boutique cafe but what you get in return is quite disappointing. Apparently (according to the menu) the toasties included double cheese. Have a look at my photos and tell me if you see double cheese, let alone any cheese whatsoever. All I see (and taste) is extremely dry and stringy chicken in the “Modern Family”, as well as the saddest and thinnest layer of vegetables I’ve ever seen in the “Roast Veg” (formerly known as the St Tropez). The menu also claims to use “premium chicken nuggets” in the kids meal however I’d liken them more to a frozen Aldi product cooked in used and abused oil. I will admit, the Portuguese Chicken Burger wasn’t bad at all but nowhere near good enough for an extra star on this review. The only other decent perk is the playground next door for the kids. $96 for a pretty depressing meal does hit the feels a little. For this amount of mullah, your family could enjoy a monstrous and delicious meal somewhere else. Literally anywhere else.

This is my first time and I do like the atmosphere and environment. I had the egg Benedict which was delicious; the hollandaise sauce had a unique spiciness to it. Coffee was good too. Nice parkland outside if one wanted to stroll a bit. Friendly staff. I will come back again.
