Review Caffe Primavera - Brisbane

Love coming here - we always get the menu specials. The coffees are beautiful and the flavours of the food amazing. I have ordered off the main menu once - it’s okay but the specials are personally my go to from great experience.

We ordered pizza, lasagna and chips totaling almost $60. Although the lasagna was very soft, it had little to no flavour. The pizza was extremely dry and the chips were more on the over cooked side. For the price we paid, it's just not worth it. Maybe their other meals are better, but regardless, you can still get better quality meals for less else where.

I took my wife here for her birthday dinner and it didn't dissapoint! From initial contact the staff were so friendly and accommodating and the place has a great ambience. We ordered the arancini balls for entree and these were mouth watering, we get these everytime we see them on a menu and these were the best we have had by far! My wife had the rump and I had the pork with crackling and as you can see the presentation was second to none, and the meals themselves were second to none. On a side note, the owners had two new employees this night who were learning the ropes, the way the owner was treating the girls and explaining how things work was amazing to see. They were understanding of the inexperience and in the future I could only hope our kids have employers like them in the future!!

Im not from this area and came here after an appointment in the complex, I 100% recommend, service was great and so was the food!! I was greeted at the door by the lovely staff. The waitress was very attentive with my order, my drink and meal came out very fast. My waitress was very helpful with making sure I had everything or if I needed anything and the food was Delicious, I got the vanilla pancakes and it was so thick and yum. I will definitely be come back here!!!

Had a great dinner there last night. The pizza was awesome with a great thin base and flavoursome toppings. Caesar salad was also excellent. Good range of drinks and some lovely wines 🍷 Will definitely be back soon.

Smallest serving of eggs on sourdough I ever seen in my life - two tiny eggs and one sliver of bread. Coffee is nice but not hot enough. Service was fast. They are very aggressive in clearing your table - just really want you out.

Such a lovely place! It smelled delicious as soon as we got within 15 metres. Satisfying and well cooked food in generous portions- wish I'd been a bit hungrier so I could finish my entire parmy! The chips were great too, and our servers were really nice.

Excellent customer service and prompt with the drinks and meals. Cannot complain at all about the food, very tasty and delicious. A great experience and one we will repeat soon, thanks heaps!😃😃 PS: your coffee is now rated No.1 in hubby's book, and he drinks a fair few coffees every week! ☕️🥇

TL;DR: For me, it was a bit of the same old thing albeit done at a high quality all-round. Granted, I will eat some of my words seeing that it was at breakfast and the stars shine out more around lunch and dinner time - and the food does sound appealing then. Nevertheless, there are still several reasons to recommend Cafe Primavera to locals and visitors alike. The atmosphere is relaxed, and you can waltz in here at any time they are open. It has a classy undertone with that casual air we all love so much. <br/><br/>When you are in this part of town, the average they got set up is a fair bit higher than in other suburbs. While the absolute standouts may or may not be there, the scores are closely hugging a nice, serviceable, and satisfying average that truly means you can get a good meal out without having to travel too far. Cafe Primavera is one such example, in which even during that quiet breakfast rush you get a good customer service experience. <br/><br/>It was time again to have breakfast on a Sunday. With the routine, I know pretty much how things go around here. The morning is a little later than the others for me, with the alarm not set for a little later. Alarm notwithstanding, what it all involves is him sneaking in with the air horn app ready at the prime - followed through by blasting it right at me. Then, in under ten minutes from that, we are in the car and off to the next dining experience. <br/><br/>The decor and design are fairly common for this part of the world. Cafe Primavera takes the big end of the shopping junction, which alone gives it a fair amount of space to utilise. The brunt of it is al fresco dining, with them putting up numerous tall umbrellas for some cool shade, along with a sail. This is at least during the hot summer period. About the only inside area is where you go up to pay<br/><br/>What is also a couple of marks better than average is the service. Instead of opting for the chummy, friendly approach, they keep an air of class in their delivery. They are relatively quick to spot you when you walk in, and before long they are leading you to a table. It might take a little longer at breakfast than otherwise, possibly from a bit of surprise on their part. What was refreshing in all honesty was how they took their time. Ample opportunity was given to peruse the menu, and they knew full well when we were ready to order. They have table service, which to me is always the preferred option. Once ordered, the process was fairly quick. Payment is done afterward at the counter and is a quick and painless affair. <br/><br/>It is not apparent from the breakfast menu, but this is downright an Italian restaurant. Not one that would advertise itself as such, yet if you are well versed enough it is apparent from a small scan of the options. <br/><br/>For the breakfast options, as far as I know, it is more or less the usual array you get at most cafes. From recollection, breakfast in Italy is not a big affair and usually just involves a coffee and maybe something to accompany it - which is possible here. The menu is one that changes around during the year and never gets too complicated. <br/><br/>When it comes to lunch and dinner, things start to spruce up a little. The major component on the menu is pizza, plus you have a range of meaty dishes that are wholly completed with selected sides. A few starters adorn the menu to satiate people's appetites. They additionally have some deals which operate on particular days of the week. <br/><br/>Additionally, they have that usual range of sweets and such (and then some) in the cabinet. These are often there to be paired with a good drink or two. Speaking of which, they got a good range of them going on. That starts with the norm of tea and coffee, which respectively are by the pot and have the beans sourced from Lavazza. After those two choices, the general range of cold options rear their head - this includes sodas (including the Mexican variety Jaritos, recommended), iced teas, juices, and milkshakes. After the morning rush, alcohol is then available. We have ourselves all kinds of wines, beers both in the bottle and on tap, plus liqueurs and spirits. <br/><br/>As can be seen, the food is possibly at a high quality though it is not anything that is changing the way the wheel works. The general audience is pleased, the general air is fairly casual though you can tell quality matters to them. It is Italian in the sense that Italian is somewhat ingrained with Australian food, mostly going for a middle ground to appease a general audience. Even if it appears a bit stock standard, that stock-standard is done fairly well. <br/><br/>Breakfast this time around was kept pretty simple, with no frills. The first order of business was getting the coffee, and as per usual that was a doppio. I can't quite remember the name of the meal, yet from scanning past photos what I can deduce is there were mushrooms on toast, which came with some semi-dried tomatoes, a sprinkling of rocket, and heaps of feta cheese on top. On the side were a couple of poached eggs - which I made sure I ordered soft. Finishing all of that was a swirl of balsamic vinegar. This is cafe food, that much can be said. <br/><br/>Credit where it is due with the breakfast, this was pretty good. Each component tasted good and indicated an adequate level of freshness. The mushrooms were cooked to just the right level of getting cooked via their texture, and both the semi-dried tomatoes and feta cheese contributed a distinct flavour that co-operated beautifully. Heck, as nice as balsamic vinegar is, the sprinkle might not have been necessary. The flavours were already pretty good. Finishing up that meal, the eggs were well done. Giving them a small prick, the yolk bled out like a sauce. This is not a meal breaking any new paradigms, and it more or less could be found anywhere. Still, when it is done well that has to be acknowledged. <br/><br/>As for what my housemate had, I distinctly remember nicking some fries from his plate. I might have also gotten a corner of his sandwich, that I can't quite remember. Those fries were pretty decent as far as they go. They weren't anything that stood out, though nothing that leads something to be desired. <br/><br/>When it comes to Lavazza, this is a fairly common kind of coffee which is a bit on the bland side. It is kind that coffee lovers and aficionados won't get too much from, as it requires an extra shot to get anything noticeable. A good barista would do well with it, but only to such an extent. It was the case here. The coffee was alright, it did its job, but it is not the place to veer off and get a coffee for when you have the hankering. <br/><br/>Caffe Primavera is probably at a really good level when it comes around to either lunch or dinner. It is several notches above serviceable at breakfast, that is the very least that can be said. They have a good environment set up and knowing the potential audience in their demographics has done a great job with the tiny aspects - namely some treats for the dogs. Over time, they've made an impression and continue to attract an audience. It's been here for a long time, so something is being done right.

We visit for lunch with TheFork’s 30% voucher. Wait staff are friendly and helpful under the watchful gaze of Owner Bruno who ensures all patrons are satisfied. Our lunches are served after 20 minutes.<br/><br/>* Lamb Kofta ($28) looks appetising! Mum loves the aromatic spices/herbs in the grilled Lamb Mince skewers. Served with roasted Pumpkin and Beetroot, wilted Spinach and a generous sprinkle of fresh Walnuts, this delicious dish is a winner. Rating: 5. <br/><br/>* Wagyu Burger & Chips ($22) comes with an impressive Beef Pattie, Fried Onion, Mushroom, Salad and Beetroot Chutney. I am a meat-lover and I rate this satisfying meal a 4.5!<br/><br/>* Canadian Breakfast ($19) has a large Pancake drizzled with Maple Syrup, Fried Eggs, Bacon and a Hash Brown. Phuong Tran rated her meal a 4!<br/><br/>We had an enjoyable lunch here and the service was wonderful. Thank you Guys!

Cafe Primarvera Corinda 310819 3/5<br/><br/>Took the Fork promo 50% off food bull to try out this restaurant. It was very busy on the night by the end of August. It was a full house night.<br/>We ordered the Arancini to share between two of us and the mains were a burger and steak with mushroom sauce. Well, I would not say the food is tasteful but they are passable only. The problem is that we had very nice Arancini in some Italian restaurant and even in Italy. The patty of burger was let down by the Kennigo Social House and the mushroom sauce was too thick just like hollandaise sauce. Maybe the sauce is the version of this cafe but it did not match my palate. <br/><br/>

23 March 2019<br/><br/>Visited this cafe again for breakfast.<br/>Had egg Benedict with mushrooms and Roasted pumpkin. The food was ok this time. The pumpkin didn’t taste very fresh.<br/>It’s a nice cafe but the tragic noise is annoying.<br/>They serve Lavazza coffee which is nice. I dint like the chocolate powder they use for cappuccino. The chocolate dominates the coffee taste. Service was good. <br/>—————————-<br/>October 2018<br/>Visited this cafe again this time for breakfast and it was great. Our food was very tasty and beautifully presented. Service was good this time.<br/><br/><br/>———————————-<br/>1June 2017<br/>We visited this cafe last night for dinner. Staff are very polite and friendly. The atmosphere is nice for casual dining. The service was a bit slow but the food was amazing. I give 5/5 for the food. It's recommended!

Went out for a birthday dinner, and was pretty disappointed. The chicken teriyaki pizza was tasteless. I'm not sure what the $24 is going towards. I could've made a better pizza at home and that's saying a lot, considering my cooking amounts to sticking something in the microwave. <br/><br/>If we're being generous, the burger was depressingly average. The mushrooms clashed with everything else and the patty needed a lot more seasoning. <br/><br/>The pasta was also overcooked.<br/><br/>TL;DR: Overpriced, below average food.

Service was friendly and fast, but the food and coffee were average, portions were small and way overpriced. There’s better options out there

Excellent place for coffee or a meal, kid friendly and good service. We would love to see more tomato based pasta options. Great place, we have been going for a long long time! Good work Bruno and Team! Shirley and Michael Gates

Had dinner with a friend. There gnocchi was super oily and there were two strands of hair in it.<br/><br/>Service was ok, and not liking confrontation, I didn’t mention the human follicles but just put them on the napkin to display. <br/><br/>Seating ok, cafe style, but if you like to not find long human hair in your dishes, perhaps not the best choice to eat at.

As regular patrons of Primavera we enjoy the consistently high standards of food.<br/>Service is relaxed and helpful. Staff are flexible with the menu.

I don't like to give poor reviews, but I wanted the establishment to be aware of the poor service and quality at times and strive to improve to maintain their high standards all the time.<br/>Sunday lunch for 7 people, arrived at noon, we’re shown to our seats, and left there for 20 minutes before drink orders were taken.  Cappuccino's were spilt by a waitress, only to be returned luke warm, which were returned again.  Ten minutes later, orders were taken - only for the 'kids' meals and the waitress rushed off, promising to return to take the 'adult' orders.<br/>25 minutes later, kids meal turned up - simple grilled fish and chips - surely not 25 minutes to prepare.<br/>The adult orders were taken at 12:55, five simple mains.  We were left hungry and waiting - another 35 minutes!!!  The cafe was only half full, and we saw people come and go, before we even got our mains.  <br/><br/>So a lunch began at noon, our mains arrived at 1:30pm!  <br/><br/>The most depressing thing was that the quality of the food was ordinary, to actually poor. I had a sports engagement at 2pm and had to gulp my oily chicken penne before rushing off, leaving the rest of my family to 'enjoy' the rest of my sister’s birthday celebration. <br/>My siblings’ meals were Grill Chicken breast - dry and lacked flavour; Grilled Salmon, dry and flavourless ; Fish and Chips - chips stale; the only saving grace was the mushroom on rye bread, was tasty.  <br/><br/>(We were initially keen on ordering pizzas, but alas, the pizza oven/kiln was not operational).<br/><br/>Yes, besides the 'friendly' staff and comfortable roomy setting, my lunch experience was frustrating and underwhelmed.

This is the BEST Caffe / Restaurant in the area by far.......... Bruno and his staff are very friendly<br/>and the food is of a VERY high standard. Would recommend this venue to anyone who is in the Granville, Corinda, Oxley area. Wayne & Debbie Shooks (content-satisfied customers)

The staff are very friendly, except they were not very attentive, the food came at a reasonable time. The food was amazing, I got the calamari dish, absolutely delicious.

Absolutely fantastic. Service, menu options and the food was definitely one to remember. I had the Ravioli and was just the right size and very nice. Other party members ordered the squid as well as the special of the day - chilli prawn risotto and they were both great. Definitely will be coming back to this place.

Dined here tonight with 3 adults. We ordered chicken parmigiana, the pasta matriciana and the spaghetti with seafood. All meals were generous and tasty. On Wednesday nights the pasta specials (in this case, the matriciana, not the seafood) come with a free glass of wine. Service was exceptionally friendly, thoughtful and considerate. Food was served promptly. It is good reliable, nicely cooked food, reasonably priced, convenient and I thought the meals were better this evening than they were say, six to 12 months ago. It has a nice friendly atmosphere and is good for family birthdays.

A large group of us dined here for Sunday breakfast. All our orders came out in a timely manner close together which was appreciated. I ordered the French toast with salmon but didn't really enjoy it because the French toast wasn't crispy. The soft toast with the soft salmon just didn't have a good balance of textures. It would've been nice to have some fresh rocket leaves on my plate too.

awesome food awesome staff - Great quality & great service  what more could you ask for  - Well perhaps a chicken Parma which they now have and they are BRILLIANT     recommend  anyone to go there       TOP PLACE but in CORINDA NOT GRACEVILLE<br/><br/>Update Feb 2018 new lazy Sunday great food great service<br/>just keeps getting better every week

The food was good but was way too overpriced for the portion size $18 for 1 pancake, a piece of bacon and some eggs. The coffe was ok but I'm not happy at all.

Have come here a few times with my other half and we can both say we re always satisfied! <br/>He loved the Canadian Breakfast.. Especially because he ordered an additional 3 extra hash browns.. I dont know lol<br/>And the garlic sautéed mushrooms on toast was so yummy that i will definitely be back again soon for some more! <br/>Teamed up the meals with tea and coffee <br/>And maybe a side of fries but thats okay too <br/>Thanks to the lovely staff and we ll see you soon

Not many breakfast options: Benedict and Canadian both really good, bacon and eggs good (just needs some sauce)<br/>Lunch menu looks good<br/>Coffee very bitter - not good at all

Fantastic experience! We go regularly and have tried multiple menu items. The Salt and Pepper Squid is the best! They make the best coffee around.

Is a year a little too late for a review? Well that's too bad, I'll write one anyway. It's surprising that I still manage to still remember enough to write something. Great thing about Caffe primavera is that their menu is huge so they don't really need to change too much. They cover all bases of popular breakfast selections to cater for all and with reasonable prices.

If you live in Brisbane's Western suburbs, chances are you’ve driven past Caffe Primavera on more than one occasion. That’s because it turns sweet sixteen this year and is still going strong. In an area where restaurants come and like the traffic on Oxley Rd, this is no mean feat. So why do the locals love it? Let’s take a look.

Great Service!. Fantastic service, pizza and pasta special were amazing!! Coffee and Tiramisu were also great. A great alfresco dining experience with reasonable pricing.

Great food great service. Have eaten here a couple of times and service is always good and food is fresh and delicious! Highly recommend!!

The immature waitress. Yesterday evening (09/12/14) the waitress who served us, really needs to take a hard look at herself. 4 times while still reading the menu my partner & I were asked if we were ready to order, obviously not because we were still reading the menus! It doesn't take a lot of insight to realise that we weren't ready to order.<br/><br/>After finishing my wine before our meals came, the same waitress took the glass away without asking if I'd like another, which actually I did want another. In a very polite manner I said, just a little feed back to you, it's always polite to ask the customer if they'd like another. Did she take it well? No she did not. Without making eye contact, and walking away, all she said was "Okkk", along with a rude expression on her face. With the cafe reasonably quiet, it appeared that waitress asked another waitress to serve our meals. The body language from the waitress continued to be rude etc.<br/><br/>Some advise to Bruno, the owner of Primavera. If your staff are unable to take constructive feedback, then they are totally in the wrong industry. To behave in such a manner, was truly unacceptable that she was that precious!

Aussies are starting to sound like whinging Poms..... (Shame ladies SHAME). I frequent this Caffe on a regular basis and I simply can NOT believe the comments some people have written about this well respected establishment on this website!!! <br/>I have learnt in life (many times over) that there is ALWAYS two (2) sides to every story told and the comments I read recently that were made by a particular "mothers group" I find simply staggering.........<br/>Come on ladies, surely writing "bitchy" comments about a hard working husband & wife team that have worked their butts off to build this business to what it is today is a little over the top!!!<br/>Bruno, keep your loyal & honest team doing what they do best. ie. High quality customer service

Despite spending over $300 on the total bill everything was too hard for the manager/owner. He was less than pleased to move tables together for our group and we had to ask to even see the menus. He was very obvious about his displeasure which made it almost an awkward atmosphere. Food was nice and other staff were friendly.

Awesome!. Great food, great atmosphere, great owners..... It's got it all! Love this place!!!!!

Great Service and Food. The pork is superb with excellent combination of flavours. Staff were exceedingly obliging. All round great experience with an excellent chicken teriyaki pizza as well. Professionalism of staff change a potentially negative experience into a extremely positive one. Would happily dine here again any time.

Great experience. Went to primavera for breakfast this morning, and we were greeted by a pleasant waitress who showed us to our seats quickly. We ordered coffee which appeared very quickly- and was perfect! Not long after this breakfast arrived too- delicious! There were quite a few other customers so we were very impressed with the speed of service. Overall, the staff were lovely and food and coffee were spot on! Very happy customers, will definitely be return visitors

To start, fantastic food- Eggs Benny done to perfection. Coffee was spot on not too bitter/not too weak and decent cup size. Perhaps the best feature of this establishment however is the staff. The staff we encountered were smiling, attentive and embodied good hospitality in every way. Our English waiter was especially lovely. I think this may become a new breakfast spot we will bring friends and family to. Highly recommended.

This place is a hit and miss. Today it was a miss. My salt and pepper calamari lacked both salt and pepper, it was also soggy. Overall an unsatisfying meal. Coffee was like warmed up milk.

Pleasant Lunchtime. With a group of friends, we ordered for Saturday lunch choices such as steak, pizza, burgers, pastas, salads from a varied menu. I had the Caesar salad that came well presented and made - the size was generous, making me happy that I didn't add chicken or salmon as optional extras. The dressing was just right and ingredients fresh. Drink prices were reasonable - wine, beer, coffee, tea etc. Coffee was reasonably good. Also indulged in the sticky date desert with ice cream (see picture). On busy Oxley Road but not to distracting to conversation.

Unbelievably awesome value for money. Definitely going back, taking friends next time, service was excellent, staff were friendly & fast. Food was soo good and price was reasonable for the quality.

Worst value for money.Will not be going back

Great Experience. My partner and I were looking for a quaint little restaurant, somewhere local and affordable, for a casual but romantic evening. The service was very friendly, the food was beautiful and there was a great selection of wines. Loved that it was outdoors on such a warm summers night. When it came to paying the bill there were a couple of items that we had not ordered but the staff were fantastic and removed the items with no questions asked. Thanks for a loveley evening Caffe Primavera.

Shame Primavera, shame. Dear Caffe Primavera, I was shocked, insulted and humiliated today by the level of disrespect that management displayed towards my mothers group. We have been loyal customers for the past 8 months and have always felt welcome by your wonderful service staff. It was disgusting today to be followed out of the cafe by someone (who I can only assume to be the manager) and be told that whilst it is 'fabulous' that we chose to frequent the cafe, you could no longer afford the time to mop the floors after our visit from all the oil in the food that was dropped. Please note that no food was actually left on the floor. It was all collected by the numerous baby wipes that we all carry with us as mothers. Do not despair, we will now be frequenting a cafe that does welcome mothers and their babies. We found such a cafe after we left your premises. Perhaps if you do not wish to cater for mothers and babies you should remove your four highchairs. We had dropped into our favourite gift shop, Lifestyles at Corinda, on our way out and realised that we would no longer be visiting there either as we would have no reason to pass by on the way back to our cars. It is unfortunate that other local businesses should suffer from the utter lack of respect displayed by management this morning. Please know that all the mothers have passed this on to all their family and friends and I will be passing this on to all the parents who frequent Nursery Rhymes at the Corinda Library on a Friday morning. Yours in disgust, Robyn and Rosie Gray

Good food. Had garlic mushroom with goats cheese, sun dried tomato, balsamic and sourdough etc. Portion size was really good, and it tasted superb. I couldn't really taste garlic for garlic mushroom though. Will be back :)

Good - but I had to whinge a bit. I like this cafe. I've been there several times and always been happy with the food and the service. They're also dog friendly, which made us happy, when we recently got a puppy. A couple of weeks ago we arrived at about 11.10am and I asked if I could order from the lunch menu, but was told I couldn't until 11.30am. So I ordered a breakfast. Our waiter was meh - not that likeable or genuine, but the other staff seemed much better. Anyway, our meal took a while. Some people arrived after we sat down and were served before us. But that was OK as they came to us next. But it was very annoying when their food arrived and it was all off the lunch menu - burgers etc (which I had asked if I could order). When I asked about this, our waiter was quite flippant. I asked a waitress and she said she'd ask the manager. She said that perhaps they'd phoned ahead. But this still didn't make sense as they said we couldn't order from the lunch menu before 11.30. The manager didn't appear and I was getting annoyed - at this stage our food still hadn't arrived and it was 11.40 (the burger people were chomping away merrily) - nearly half an hour after we'd ordered. When we finally got our food (which was very good), we didn't really enjoy it because we were annoyed about everything that had gone before and the waiter was, by now, behaving arrogantly - as though we were at fault. So we finished up, paid and were about to leave, when the lovely manager finally appeared. She was incredibly apologetic and offered absolutely no excuses - just that they had done the wrong thing, that I should've been able to order from the lunch menu and they were terribly sorry. She then went back inside and reappeared with a $25 gift voucher. This was exactly the right thing to do. It turned an angry customer around and I can now do nothing but praise the restaurant and Nicole for doing the right thing and behaving in a manner that will ensure return visits. Thank you Primavera - we'll be back. Great cafe!

Consistent good food and one of the best kids spaghetti bolognaise! We love breakfasts here but dinner last night was great. Delicious beer battered perch and if you haven't tried their caesar salad its a must!

Yum! And excellent service. Title says it all! The service was great, very friendly and attentive without being in your face. I very rarely tip but we did there. Great specials, divine food. Definitely recommend! Will return for sure.

We went to have lunch here today for the first time. The service from Louie was excellent and the food was lovely. Definitely worth it.

I have been coming here with my grandad for the last 10 years. I have tried other places and have even driven him into the city to cafes and expensive restaurants and I now refuse to go anywhere else. The food is so full of flavour I'm impressed with every bite. The value is impressive, perfect sides to all the mains and great value for money. Will not ever go anywhere else again for my grandad lunches and now plan on bringing my dates here too! :)

My partner and I went here for breakfast this morning. Waiters were great, very attentive, bright and chirpy. Staff joked around with customers and were up front about the wait on food. Tables were in the sun and the food was good! Great start to the weekend!

Selective Manager. When I visit Primavera with a friend who is a regular there, the manager is all over us. When I go there with my daughter, the manager is unable to recognise me, even though he might have been speaking to me a week or so before. The food is always good and the staff are tops. However, I feel that many items are now somewhat overpriced.

Always Happy. For the past 8 years or so, my family and I have been very happy visitors of Primavera. The food is delicious, and the atmosphere is relaxed and lovely. Thank you for your great service!!

Absolutely amazing service. Me and a couple of friends came in in a huge rush. And the staff gave us incredible service and the food was delicious.

Always Great!. My partner and I, both visit Cafe Primavera almost every Saturday morning for breakfast and have NEVER been disappointed. The staff are among the most polite, friendly, efficient workers i have seen on a Saturday morning breakfast shift at a venue and nothing is too hard for them and there's always consistency, very important.<br/>The Chefs' deserve a big wrap because the food they produce is always superb! The venue has a great culture to it, making you feel like you aren't in Corinda at all. Overall a lovely venue to have a breakfast. Two big thumbs up

Disappointing. Visited Caffe Primavera on a Wednesday night at 8.15pm only to be told food had finished and only cakes and coffee available. This restaurant used to be fantastic but has recently become a little second rate. I will be driving past next time. The best thing was I discovered Ceylon Inn.

Overpriced. Went yesterday for a coffee & cake late arvo snack - two slices a soft drink & a coffee (& I don't know what they are doing to their beans but that coffee was bad) and the bill was just under $27 - way way too much for a suburban cafe - wont be going back

Rude, arrogant manager!!. I was with a few friends for dinner one night and one of my friends bought some food from another venue inside....the manager came up and made a scene and embarrassed him in front of everyone....will not return...ever

Went to this cafe for our first mothers group & it was wonderful. They were so accommodating & lovely to us. Even though we had many prams & crying babies! The coffee was good & so was the eggs benny.. I'm looking forward to going back to try something from their sweets cabinet as it all looked yum!

Nice local cafe. Had brunch with friends here this week.<br/>Really nice laid back setting.<br/>Staff were friendly and chatty, however at times not very attentive.<br/>Meals were okay, however I found the menu to be overpriced for what we got.

Diana. Tried Primavera for coffee with a friend. The flat whites came in rather large cups & were not flat by any means. No flavour to the Lavazza coffee at all think they must have an extraction problem. On saying that the staff were friendly & efficient. Had a peak at the menu & thought some of the dishes were a tad overpriced for what we notced going out to be served

Good range, Good value for money. We went here for breakfast and they serve a Canadian breakfast- thumbs up straight away! Friendly staff, good atmosphere. I would definitely eat here again.

Disappointing decline. As a local this used to be our most favourite place to dine or just chat over coffee. My favourite meals were absolutely the 3egg ommellette for breakfast, and for dinner, either the beef ragu with gnocchi, or the chicken and pumpkin pasta -- YUM!! However, at some point last year there was a substantial change made to the menu (not sure why) and 2 of my favourites were removed - the omellette (there was nowhere else I've found that served such a meal) and the ragu...well, to be fair the ragu and gnocchi are still there by they've been separated...the ragu is now served with pasta which makes it completely uninteresting and the gnocchi is served with some sort of fish. I am SO disappointed -- I did try some of the other dishes a few times, but it's just not the same....I've now not been for about 6 months.

Not bad..... I like the food you get in this place but I sometimes leave wondering if I've had value for money.

Always Pleasent. My hubby and I often dine at this resturant....being close by we also love to order takeaway resturant meals aswell. The breakfast is especially good, bacon and eggs always done perfectly with lots of bacon. <br/>Dinner is often busy and sometimes meals take a while...but a nice atmosphere to enjoy a glass of wine or two.

After dining at this cafe it is safe to say that I am bitterly disappointed. My partner ordered the chicken penne dish and nearly choked on a bone! Aside from this, the chicken in his dish was brown and had fat running through it. He was very polite when he spoke to the manager, however he was told his opinion was incorrect. Apparently the bones were part of the cooking process and although he did not 'allow' the chef to taste the meal, my partner was assured the dish smelt fine, and was therefore acceptable. I am shocked and appalled at the managers arrogance and needless to say the dish was not paid for. The manager still maintains that the dish was fine despite the bones and fatty meat. I would not recommend this cafe to anyone, in fact I would advise against it. The meals are overpriced and undercooked and the manager's arrogance blocks his ability to receive any criticism. This is quite possibly the worst place I have eaten.

Bone in chicken = Normal?. A pleasant evening with 10 work associates turned to nightmare when for main I ordered the penne chicken. Half way through this bland dish with fatty chicken, I got a small bone I choked on. I told the wait staff and then was approached by the manager Bruno who in front of everyone told me that bones in the chicken was sometimes normal as this was how it came from the manufacturer. He further asked what was wrong with it and after I told him he dismissed my concerns by saying he smelt the food and it seems ok. He then told me that he did not taste the food nor did his chefs as they were not allowed. Needless to say I had a few things to say and I must say I have never met an owner so arrogant bout himself. He did not apologise for my bone but gave me the food for free. Such a pity, what started as a wonderful evening ended with this man. All I wanted an apology, maybe a replacement not the lecture.

Lovely Service, Great food. A lovely place for a traditional sort of breakfast- I had the big primavera breakfast (the lot basically) and my partner had the blueberry pancakes- very tasty and staff were very accommodating of my dietary needs.

Overpriced food.

Cafe Primavera has nice food and coffee. It is one of those places however that is quite pricey, so we only go on occasion. The food is always quick to arrive to the table and is also fresh. Would recommend the risotto.

Went here a while ago with a friend for a late lunch. Ordered the Caesar salad with chicken. Meals came out on time. Staff were fairly attentive at the beginning but no one came up to ask how the meals were. The food was unimpressive - a big batch of iceberg lettuce with the bitter stem making up majority of it, chicken was undercooked (and still pink in the middle).. Coffees were good. I'd probably go back for coffee and cake but not for an actual meal. Bit too pricey for what it is... Again, I could've gone on a bad day but uncooked chicken is a very big no no for me and considering the ease it is to make a caesar salad it's a large let down... Told manager as we were paying and he got slightly annoyed I hadnt mentioned it during service... Didn't offer refund or anything but I also didn't ask for one...

Undecided. Went to Primavera recently on a Sunday morning for breakfast. They were quite busy, and we were told that there would be a 45 minute wait for meals (which is easier to swallow if you know about it, in my opinion). We both ordered a big breakfast style meal for about $19 that included a drink each. I ordered my eggs poached, and they came over-done, watery, and swimming on my plate. I let the waitress know, and she seemed a little annoyed about my comment, but, the only way to improve is to receive feedback, right? Coffee was average, but drinkable. Coffee's and juices arrived at the beginning of our wait for meals, so were either warming up or getting cool by the time meals arrived. Will probably go back, but it'd have to be pretty good to draw me back for round three . . .

Glad we dropped in.... After a day out shopping I decided to treat my mum to coffee and cake on the way home! As always the service was friendly and certainly efficient! Our mudcake and lemon merange were beautifully presented and tasted as good as they looked! The coffee was hot and a welcome end to our busy day! We will both be back!

One of my favorite cafe in that area. Staff are lovely, food is well prepared and delicious. Price is decent too. Great place overall! The chicken penne pasta is a hit all the time.

Lovely atmosphere, great service.. I come here occasionally for the morning breakfast or my chill out time with a coffee and paper.<br/><br/>They use Lavazza coffee beans and they do quite a mean breakfast. The menu for breakfast and lunch is quite limited however the quality and consistency of the food is there. <br/><br/>For breakfast I sometimes have the Primavera breakfast which includes a juice and coffee. I love their Eggs Benedict and only have it occasionally because it's so bad for me. Their rocket and parmesan salad on top of this dish really does it for me. <br/><br/>I also like this place for its outdoor dining experience. It's beautiful on a breezy sunny day. Great place to escape despite the cafe located on a busy main road.

Lovely little place. This is a great restaurant. Food is good and the service is great-very friendly and extra helpful. Have been a few times now and always impressed. Will definitely be back.

Great service! We were a party of 16 and all meals came out within 2 mins of each other. Waitresses were lovely. Great chilli prawn risotto although pizzas were a bit doughy. Thinner base would be great!

Not a bad cafe/resturant. Kitchen is clean. Great service by the waitresses and meals are filling. For this I honesly would like to see slighly cheaper prices, however they have the monopoly of this calabre in and around this area. Would like to see more good looking cafes around the western suburbs like this.

...I am sad to say that Betty was left unfinished - I had to save room for my sauteed mushrooms with goats cheese on sourdough bread with poached eggs.
