😠 I went to this place on Sat. I understand they are busy in the weekend. However you guys charged 5 dollars for a small coffee but make the worst coffee I have had. I even couldn’t drink. Coffee was very watery and no milk foam no coffee oil at all. It’s like a left over coffee shot and then pull in... People often mention coffee, good,

    I went to this place on Sat. I understand they are busy in the weekend. However you guys charged 5 dollars for a small coffee but make the worst coffee I have had. I even couldn’t drink. Coffee was very watery and no milk foam no coffee oil at all. It’s like a left over coffee shot and then pull in warm milk. I just chucked away my coffee when I walked out of museum. If you guys want to serve coffee, please find someone can make coffee.

    Very decent cafe with a great selection of little bites for $5, and good coffee. Highly recommended if you're visiting the museum.

    $13 Sandwitch, Service took almost 30 minutes to toast this. I thought they forgot my order, I went back up to just confirm. Tastes disgusting, bread squashed into a cookie. Jam inside the sandwitch was horrible combination. Do not reccomend anyone to come here, slow service, overpriced, disgusting food.

    Had a decaf iced latte and a chocolate slice (brownie). The brownie was a bit stale but the center was fresh. The coffee was good but I recommend stirring as it was a bit burnt towards the bottom but otherwise was quite tasty.

    Very nice double shot cappuccino for a decent price. Not sure what the other reviews are going on about, I thought it was fine!

    It’s not what you expect when you spent 6 bucks for your first morning coffee, is it? Unfortunately, the coffee we had was not good, and I have no clue why would they call themselves espresso bar. Single shot coffee start from 5 dollars…. But a bit too much for a long black… one dollar for extra shot… one dollar for some pouring cream…the coffee was over extracted, foam was separated. So a bit sad and disappointed. Would not recommend it. Sorry guys!!

    The coffee was great but the service needs to be improved. Seemed like no one wanted to be there on a public holiday. I understand the staff are under lot of pressure when it gets busy but just a smile would help to improve the whole experience.

    Staff were lovely and food and coffee was good. However $5.50 for a can of coke and $6.50 for a cupcake is just insane. How places like this think it’s acceptable to rob people blind is disgusting.

    Cold coffee & tastless food. A cheese scone should have cheese in the mix not just a sprinkle on top. Totally over priced as well. So dissapointed.

    Great orange cake but terrible sour coffee...

  • 3/5 Junie W. 1 year ago on Google
    Staff was polite but could be a bit more efficient especially on a busy weekend. Kids meal portion was tiny and expensive for the price.

    Chai latte and Mocha tasted good.

    Very expensive for very basic food, was given a kids platter which was stale and the display one took it back and the waitress lied and said this is fresh. The bread was like cardboard. Service also needs to be improved

    A $6 cinnamon donut... outrageous but I thought it has to be fresh and might offer a twist - the description did say vanilla. My hopes weren’t high, but in saying that at $6 I did expect fresh if literally nothing else. I think it was an old burger bun - I’d estimate a week old. Cut into a donut shape. Savoury, dry, well preserved, old bread. Yuk. And the service was painfully bored.

    The food was barely average, definitely not worth the price. Don't recommend...
