    Good place for coffee β˜• and eat out with dear friends. Quality food and affordable prices for all menu varieties. Convenient location and operating time is good for everyone. They close late night which allows those who want to have evening meeting possible. Ambience is good and nice well cleaned rest rooms. The employees are well dressed up with uniform and well cleaned.

    Really tasty smoothies. Could have been 5⭐️ if they had put ice, especially as the weather is so warm at the moment.

    Cafe Nush continuously impresses when it comes to their food. The waiters are also super friendly and food service is really efficient. I like that we could sit and watch the rest of the Avondale shopping centre, a great spot for meeting with friends over lunch

    Very mature, relaxed dining atmosphere. The service was not great to be honest. Waiting staff did they're job but the food took upwards of 40mins which was too much. My steak order was medium, got a well-done, pepper sauce was very watery and had to get that replaced

    Good place to go have a business meeting. I ordered fries and hake. I would say they have the best fried fish 🍣 in town! If you have a cold, they also have a lemon and ginger shot to boost up your immune. β˜•πŸ΅

    This place, is small, cosy ice cream shop with friendly ambience, outstanding ice creams offering a wide variety of ice cream flavors, all excellent. 🍨. The best. I am so in love with the Waffle cone. The flavors, are just amazing πŸ˜‹. 1 scoop is never enough πŸ˜‹but 2 are just too much. Price is fair. Highly recommend. Yummy, yummy and yummy. You simply can't go wrong here. Always ask for the waffle cone.

    No gluten-free items to accommodate gluten intolerant people. Did not replace bread with fris as requested. Had to pay separately for the fries. Very inflexible. Spoke to manager...not easy was not accommodating at all.

    Surprisingly good food for a shopping center cafe. Downgrading the rating as I had today a grilled fish with salad, coke, cheesecake and espresso and it costed whopping 21$. Way too expensive for lunch.

    I ordered a muffin and Americano to go. The coffee was excellent and piping hot and the muffin was good. The service fell short as the single server on duty seemed overwhelmed with telephone orders. A good choice if you are not on your way to work... or anywhere really.

  • 2/5 Fadzai N. 1 year ago on Google
    Was neither impressed by the food nor the service this time around. The bolognaise had no garnish, burger and chips served with no condiments my friend had to get up and look for ketchup and vinegar. The swiss roll was dry and goinh stale only the orange and coconut cake redeemed the meal. The waiter was new and was not well versed with the menu. He also brought latte spoons for us to eat our cake and when we asked him afterwards he said ah why didnt you ask for forks. Then he also charged our orange and coconut cake slices as oreo cakes then lied that they were same price. Used to be my favourite eating place but now hmmm.

    Went there for ice-cream. They have amazing Gelato ice-creams. And it's quite affordable as well. The environment is just cool. They have proper lighting. Perfect for pictures. The staff is welcoming. They close pretty late so you can go there anytime.

  • 1/5 Rufaro Geraldine M. 3 years ago on Google
    The waitress was extremely rude and she didnt seem to understand the products she was offering or serving. She kept confusing our orders, she was grumpy and was literally throwing food at us. Lastly, we had to ask for the actual bill after we asked for it and she gave us the amount by word of mouth. We had to leave early for Pariah instead where the customer service was amazing.

    They get unnecessarily overwhelmed with customers! Well, calm down and have a system of allocating each other tables, that way you manage to reach all customers in good time and delivering good service as well.

    Went there to have a birthday meal. The waitress, was clearly overwhelmed. It took us 15 minutes to get the menu, then 25 minutes to place our orders. Then the food took over an hour to arrive. Don't think I'll be going back there any time soon.

  • 4/5 imraan j. 2 years ago on Google
    Food is lovely, Sometimes the service can be a little too low.. there are some staff that will serve you like their life depends on it.. then there are some staff that just want to get a job done so they go home. Besides coming to eat my full I go here also for the experience.. one bad experience shouldn't shadow the good..so I will just end by saying I might have went there on one of those days when left seems like right.. everyone has those.. however I enjoyed the food...Thanks..

  • 2/5 Brian M. 2 years ago on Google
    Looks like a good place but the prices are out of this world so I never got to taste the food. Overpriced in my opinion. Nice sorroundings and good customer service though.

  • 5/5 Amy C. 3 years ago on Google
    A lovely Cafe idyllic for brunch or 'spill it over tea' meet ups with friends! Their food is Delicious and their cakes are so fresh!!

  • 4/5 Fari 2 years ago on Google
    The pizza was great. The host was friendly. The waitress not so much, at least not until my friend arrived. I guess maybe I didn't have the look of the customer she would be friendly to? Anyways, despite that I would definitely come again. Good Pizza , good vibes overall 😊

  • 3/5 Ebrahim K. 2 years ago on Google
    Went on a bad day i guess. They was no power. They had a generator but it would cut off. Had a deluxe breakfast it was nice but the portion was small. I had a problem with the staff, they were very slow in attending to us never took our order properly. Very poor service. Will definately be going back again, hope for a better experiance.

  • 3/5 Tendai D. 2 years ago on Google
    Went there on the 9th of June with my mum.Got there,was sitted.When the food came,the waiter put the teapot onto the table abruptly and very quickly and spilt some tea,but he was already gone I do not even know why he was in such a rush.Otherwise the service was really good. The big breakfast we bought was so small,not worth the deluxe breakfast title it is called.The food also tasted mediocre at best.Not as well as it tasted the last time I visited in 2016.

  • 5/5 Dan K. 2 years ago on Google
    A generous discount on Thursdays for those who are 65+ , which allows them to treat themselves to meals and coffees etc. with a smile. The menu is varied to meet ones tastes. Service is very good.

    Clean place. Best ice cream in the history of zimbo ice-cream. I could have given 4 stars if we had not waited an hour to get the menu

  • 4/5 Archie M. 2 years ago on Google
    I totally love the menu and confectionery section. This Nush serves great freshly squeezed juices and the staff is friendly and always jovial. Sitting options are also really good: instore, almost sidewalk (don't ask I can't explain this any better) and the classis sidewalk sitting area with canvas to cover in case it starts raining. Great for everything from casual sit ins with friends or by yourself, meetings or first blind dates. Menu is well priced and borders closer to affordable

  • 3/5 Natasha kuda M. 2 years ago on Google
    the place was full and I think the staff gets overwhelmed, we got there and we had to look for a table, found one after, the menus took forever to come, we had we cat called to get them 🀭 then food came,a bit late, we enjoyed, the steak is nice, juices are good as well, good environment for chats, the bill took forever, then we ended up using the POS machine by ourselves, but it's a must try, I'm going to try their wrap

  • 3/5 Zeenat G. 2 years ago on Google
    Always have a problem with the waiters. I remember when ot first opened it was such a buzz. It's just gone down hill with the hygiene and cleanliness. Cakes don't seem very appealing. Hope they sort it out

  • 4/5 Yeukai Z. 2 years ago on Google
    We enjoyed our time at Cafe Nush Avondale... Super service with friendly staff and affordable pricing. Portions we're really good too! My husband and I plan to visit again!

  • 4/5 D J. 2 years ago on Google
    I was a bit disappointed by the deco and cleanliness. Untidy wires running where the customer can see. Customer service was a bit sleepy for the early morning. And there was a clear bias by staff towards frequent known customers. That's alright but not at the expense of us new customers experience. The food.... man o man. Absolutely great food at a reasonable price. Wonderful and tasty. The waiter informed us that they will be improving their menu for more healthy foods. I look forward to that. One more note. Not very comfortable during peak periods as it can get quite crowded.

  • 4/5 Thando M. 2 years ago on Google
    The service tends to be slower than I'd like but the food and coffee are good. The smoothies are also a must get. If you don't eat pork (they have macon!!), this is also a great place to eat.

  • 4/5 Vincent M. 2 years ago on Google
    The last time I was here was back in November 2019. I ordered a chicken dish that arrived looking like it had been prepared by a 5 year old throwing a tantrum. The presentation alone put me off and I was unable to do more than attempt a few nibbles. I decided to boycott this place. Today however I had no choice as my brother in law chose to meet here and he is returning abroad tomorrow. He and I ordered steak pies, the children ordered spaghetti bolonaise and chicken strips from the kids menu and my sister-in-law had a chicken wrap. The food arrived and it was beautifully plated and absolutely mouthwatering! That 5 year old had either grown up or gotten over his tantrumπŸ˜‚ We all tasted each other's food and agreed that it was good. US$49 total including 4 milkshakes and a coffee latte. I shall return with my parents one of these Thursdays. They have 50% discount for over 60's.

  • 4/5 Sarah J. 1 year ago on Google
    My go to place for a quick dining experience. I normally have a coffee ( Today it was a Mocha) and a toasted sandwich. The service was not bad and it was not too crowded for a Saturday morning. My only pet peeve is not all the chips were cooked through. Other than that, you can expect the usual staples, a biscuit with your coffee and all the condiments you need.

  • 4/5 Penelope N. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a great breakfast (chicken pie and carrot cake served with cappuccino) , service is so great and efficient was served within a few mins of arriving ..they also serve ginger+lemon+garlic concoction...the waiters and waitresses are so clean and friendly..enjoyed my chicken pie the most!!

    You need a taste of Italy then try their Chicken Alfredo. The taste and texture in your mouth really makes one feel the closest to Italian vibes. The lime cooler mocktail a bit bland though but still everything was nice.
