    Good food, strong coffee, good customer service, and the coolest logo I've seen in a long time! Highly recommend the eggs benedict.

    A real gem of a cafe in Gymea, away from the hustle of the main shopping centre tucked away on the residential side. Awesome coffee and food and lots of seating options, in the backyard, out the front, inside near the coffee machine or a room towards the back.

    Great coffee . Quick service. Pleasant staff always making us welcome. Food is good too. Love gluten free alternative cakes. Good when you want a quick coffee walking the dog or a catch up with friends. Keep up the good work. Gibbs sister

    Our first time dining at Ben and Annie’s and will be the first of many. The choice of meals was varied and enticing. Prices were very reasonable as the portions were very generous. The service was brilliant. We didn’t wait long for our meals, and there were 6 of us, and none of our group were kept waiting. The wait staff were also so good-replacing water, asking if we needed anything else/more drinks. I did didn’t realise Ben and Annie’s also have a liquor licence, so a small, but very adequate, selection of cocktails, beers and wine. This was Mother’s Day and Annie gave all mothers a wrapped, decorative biscuit with a Mother’s Day message iced onto it. Such a nice touch, a welcome surprise, and it is a gesture you always remember, when a customer. So… a huge THANKYOU to Annie, Ben and their lovely staff for a five star experience on my special family day. We will be back.

    Our first time at Ben & Annie's but certainly won't be our last. Efficient and friendly service, a pleasant outside area which was perfect for a small child of one of our group and great coffee. The best thing though is you can drop by just for a coffee or a full meal.

  • 4/5 Louise L. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is a little oasis in Gymea! Kids play area out the back and dog-friendly with bowls at the front. The staff are super friendly, Annie’s around for a chat now and then, and the vibe is like being at home away from home. The breakfast menu is better than the dinner one, but who doesn’t love the odd sneaky glass of wine on a Friday evening!

    Ben and Annie are such lovely people and go above and beyond for their customers! The cafe is wonderful, kid friendly, food is absolutely delicious and the service is perfect. Beautiful people!

    Their chips are not nice and the grilled chicken was probably defrosted as it tasted rubbery and tough. Also worth mentioning that the other meal ordered was just ordinary (granola), the Coffee at least was decent. Customer service was very bad. They did greet us when we were seated but after the meals came out they did not come back at all to check on us. So only when we were leaving was I able to tell them about my meal. They didn’t want to do anything about it besides pass the feedback into the chef’s, oh and I was still charged the full amount. Great business 👎

    Ben and Annie are the best. They have great food, reasonable prices and wonderful service. We have been getting coffee in the morning since we moved into the area a few years ago and go there for lunches when we can. Ben has a background in hospitality management and genuinely connects with customers and the community. They personally invest hugely in their business from both a financial and personal perspective. One example was when we had a newborn, they went to the effort of ordering a personalized gift for our baby girl which could not have been cheap! Can’t rate these guys enough!!!

    Good food, nice atmosphere, friendly staff.

  • 5/5 Red W. 1 year ago on Google
    Every time I've been here the staff have been very nice. Food is great and definitely has a very well deserved spot on my list of great places to eat. Something of note, they also have rooms at the rear of the front entrance, so it's a lot bigger than it first looks.
