    I was on way to go Miranda hot spring, and stop by here to have brunch. Looks quite new interior and kind staffs, especially I was satisfied that they asked me the feedback. That made me feel they care about customer’s opinion even after paid. All the food(scone, brunch) was nice as well, but coffee was just a average. I want to go there again when I have a chance to pass by. :)

    Friendly staff, clean and tidy place. I had pancake gurnished beautifully and tatse delicious. But the icecream on top was straberry which did not taste good ( it is not my fav as i believe it taste like medicine),probably vanila icecream could be a better choice. Hope they could keep the place always clean and tidy.

    Second time visiting, both times the service was great and attentive, water was offered and food came swiftly, beverages arrived hot ( as I like it), my husband ordered the chicken and waffles as well as a club sandwich, the chicken was tender and cooked perfectly, I enjoyed the smash avo open sandwich with salmon. Would definitely recommend to family and friends.

    I came across this place on grabone as there are $40 vouchers for only $25, what a bargain! Such a lovely café which is bright, fresh and spacious. The staff were absolutely brilliant and provided fantastic customer service. They were very friendly and attentive, making sure that we were happy and had everything we needed. The food was delicious and flavourful and very generous servings. The coffee was hot and creamy and made perfectly, even asking if I wanted the coffee extra strong or regular (which I've never been asked!) I do love a strong coffee, so made the most of that opportunity. Definitely recommend this fantastic Cafe to anyone who loves great food and appreciates bubbly and polite staff!

    I DO NOT RECOMMEND this cafe. Very disappointing! We decided to have brunch somewhere after watching a movie at the cinema in the mall. We looked up cafes nearby and this supposedly popped up with good reviews. Food I would rate 1 star. We ordered the breakfast board and there was nothing great about it, I could've made a better breakfast at home to be honest.The sausages were tasteless , the beacon was cold soggy ,the hash brown was also cold and the poached eggs had water from it that it was making the hash browns soggy.ordeed a mocha and it was the worst coffee ever! The service from the waitress was the only good thing hence the 2 star. But the food is NO GOOD!

    Absolutely loved this, went there for a birthday brunch and the minute they found out it was her birthday they brought out this. Not only is their food a 10/10 their portion sizes are immaculate AND customer service is awesome! However that freak shake is a challenge if you don’t have the sweet tooth for it, still delicious nonetheless. Zero complaints here !!!

    One of the worst service experiences in Ormiston area. We walked in with few tables occupied only and not a single staff greeted us. Found our table. Food was delayed by 35mins even being something as simple as squid rings and chips. I ordered salmon which came out half cooked and cold in the centre. When we complained we got told the chef said that is how it is made. The guy came back and said they’ll make another one. We waited for 20 more minutes only to receive a slice of salmon and not even the veggies to go with. Would definitely be avoiding this place. Wasted our morning so we just did take aways.

    Casual and relaxing atmosphere. Looks tidy. Staff was friendly. More on the pricey side with drinks. Cabinet food selection is meager. Visited on a Sunday afternoon. A piece of cake was sitting there since Friday (I asked) and selling for the same price. Guess it's up to people whether they are willing to pay full amount but I'm not. Do ask how long ago food was made. Will be exploring other cafes around here.

    Amazing place, and welcoming staff. Food was top quality. Loved the iced coffee. Went there with wife and kids. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Will definitely recommend to go check out. We will be going there again. 👍🏽👍🏽

    I highly recommend this Cafe. Customer service was remarkable. Very polite and helpful. I unfortunately did not get the name of the person at front counter but is etiquettes was commendable. I had my elderly parents with me and he made sure they were comfortable. I will highly recommend the warm dumpling soup. It was full of flavour and the portion was generous. We did not have to wait long for our meals. Please do visit if you are in the area.

    $11.50 for two coffees but they were HUGE, great service and atmosphere! Very busy in the weekend, we might have been lucky to have found a table?

    A great place to be. I like the quote " a lot of things can be happened over a cup of Coffee".

    Great local Cafe for lazy weekend brunch! Staffs are super friendly and food is amazing🥰

  • 2/5 Evashan T. 8 months ago on Google
    If looks are all you're interested in then this is the place for you. The place has a nice, modern cafe aesthetic and the cakes and drinks looked fantastic but unfortunately that was where it stopped. The blueberry tart and chocolate cake were either old or poorly made as they were dry, so dry that they crumbled apart when poked with a fork. The only way they were edible was with the dollop of fresh cream that accompanied them. The freakshakes looked amazing and inviting but sad to say lacked any flavour, tasted like cold milk with fancy toppings. Sad to say, we were so excited to try this after seeing them on Instagram but were terribly dissapointed.

  • 2/5 Brent M. 4 months ago on Google
    We ordered chicken nuggets, fries, kids pizza, and scones. The scones were really dry, I’d doubt they bake them, likely frozen and thawed. Got extra butter and really needed it just to swallow the dry scones. Very pricey and not much topping on the pizza. Nuggets were grey, poor quality compared to maccas. Fries were ok

    Nice, warm, spacious and easy to find. Had breakfast here (first time) food was average. Reserved a table for 4 and it was put under the wrong name, wait time to be served was great. I had the bacon and eggs benedict. Portion was fairly ok - bit small to be honest. It only had 2 strips of bacon (very small) egg was cooked well, but way too much hollandaise sauce (very rich) and a smidgen of balsamic sauce. Didn't even get a chance to enjoy our breakfast, as we would have liked too. Just felt like we were rushed to cater our table to other customers waiting outside or coming on in, sorry but we made a reservation. Our coffee cups, plates were removed as soon as we had finished eating/ drinking - I know customer service is the key, but chillax man. We arrived at 8.30am, served and eaten, and cleared off by 9.30am. Particularly disappointed with that to be honest. Apart from that, overall would I recommend? Maybe? who knows...

    Service was very good! Lovely staff who were very friendly and helpful with our dietary needs. Unfortunately, I ordered the smashed avocado on toast and the toast I received was quite burnt. Also, the coffee was not great and quite dirt like. We expected more for the money we paid, however, the staff were very hospitable with complaints and therefore we would revisit and give Ormiston cafe another chance.

  • 5/5 Yogin D. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place for some crazy shakes and veggie food. Ordered the veggie dumplings, corn fritters, & the veggie burger. All of them tasted different in a good way. The burger could be better, but still eatable with a smile. Definitely recommend trying the vegetarian dumplings and the corn fritter stack, even for a meat eater. Just heavenly. Found the pricing a bit on the higher but definitely worth the trip. Would definitely visit again. Kudos chef🧑‍🍳

    The best in Ormiston. Forget the big brand names near by, this place is soooo good on food and drinks. Friendly, fast and worth the price. Well done guys

  • 5/5 Tom S. 1 year ago on Google
    We got here 20 minutes before closing time, and the staff advised us on entry that the kitchen will be closing, should we want to order food to do so before 2:30. We placed our orders and recieved a great presented platter and the atmosphere was good, though they were eager to finish they continued to serve great food with a plesent attitude. When ever we come here the staff are great.

  • 4/5 Brett C. 1 year ago on Google
    Was a pretty good place for breakfast. The mince on toast is a really good and unique breakfast dish which I really enjoyed. Also got a side of chips which were really expensive for the size of the bowl and the tomato sauce was a salt reduced sauce which wasn't very nice. The coffee is really good and the large coffee to sit in and enjoy is possibly the biggest cup I've seen and a great way to start the day.

  • 5/5 N V. 3 years ago on Google
    Pretty cool cafe, hidden behind PaknSave. Food were delicious and flavorful. Freakshake was delightful. The aioli sauce was incredible! Very garlic-y. I loved it! I wanna go back again to try their beetroot latte cos that beetroot in the beef burger was nice.

  • 5/5 Renee N. 1 year ago on Google
    Rocked up this morning - Mothers Day - didn’t think to book & they were super busy. But they actually managed to give us a table. Impeccable service and absolutely delicious food! Will definitely be back. Great job guys!! 😊
