Ate here for lunch yesterday. Steak sandwich was excellent. Top quality meat and cooked to perfection . Thanks Chef
Heaps mad, brilliant place for a substantial feed and a good quality coffee to kick start a nice summers day. Kick back and neck some pints after work or even get a little bit fancy and have one of the fine young bar staff whip you up a mean cocktail.
Double Drummer is hidden away in the middle of office buildings, and is swarming with public servants during the week. They have an extensive menu - everything from soup and sandwiches to burgers and a cabinet of hot food with some interesting options.
Today I ordered the southern chicken burger, which was a little disappointing. The chicken wasn't that flavoursome, and the way it was cut in half made the burger slippery and tricky to eat. The mayo wasn't particularly punchy, and personally I don't think iceberg adds much to burgers. Chips were good and my meal arrived pretty quickly. I've had better food here than this burger suggests, so I hope it's just one average meal in a line-up of awesome.
Great lunch spot in Barton. As expected it's packed full of Canberra's public servants. Food options range from salads, sandwiches and rolls to burgers and even baked salmon. Coffee, teas, juices and a range of alcohol all available. Everything looked amazing. Service was great. Polite and efficient staff. Surprisingly cheap. Great space and atmosphere so I'll definitely be back.
I eat here a lot when I am on the road, and I like the fact that there is a really good range of fresh and healthy options, along with the indulgence of a beef and gravy roll for those days when health food holds no appeal. Big and airy, this place is pretty much always busy. Which leads to its only real shortcoming - hard surfaces everywhere, no discernable noise attenuation, and metal chair legs adds up to a whole lotta noisy, loud, unpleasant din. If they got this issue sorted, I'd rate as 5 star.
We're really lucky to have a good cafe in the office. Great range of salads, sandwiches, hot food, sweets, and juices. They also do breakfast and have great seating areas. Service is good but can be a bit noisy.
Double Drummer is a bit like a cafeteria. There's different stations depending on what you're after (hot food, salads, sandwiches, cake, coffee, fresh squeezed juice). We love their sandwiches. Normally we wouldn't be keen on a pre-made sandwich, but they're made fresh daily and super tasty. On the last visit we tried the Pastrami and Salad Baguette. Delicious! and great value at under $10.
Just had lunch at Double Drummer in Barton and it was top shelf...The Portobello Burger was just magnificent. I'm not a fan of brioche buns in burgers but this was sensational. A big fat juicy portobello mushroom, crumbed and fried with iceberg, tomatoe, pesto and garlic aoli. Just superb. My wife's chicken burger was also spot on. Accompanied with crunchy fries, gravy and washed down with a chocolate thickshake.
Defo be back again to try breakfast....
Grabbed a quick brekky from this cool place. A massive set of options as well as great coffee and freshly squeezed juices. I grabbed the pistachio and cranberry yogurt, cappuccino and apple, carrot and ginger juice. A bit too much food/drink for me but all was flawless. A great spot. Can't wait to come back again!
One of the nicer coffee spots in Canberra! Consequently, the place is always flat out. A good selection of food, all of which is really yummy.
Great place to swing by for a coffee and bite to eat for breakky - get in early and get the coffee and roll combo - $8.50 but get the bacon and egg wrap!
Don't try and hold a meeting there though - far too noisy and massive crowds from AG's and PM&C at lunch. $10 EFTPOS limit.

My colleague wanted to schedule a working lunch and so we went to Double Drummer, snapping up an outdoor table that had plenty of sunshine despite the chill in the air. I usually order something hot, but I decided to be a bit adventurous this time and try the chicken parmigiana roll from the sandwich bar. The staff kindly toasted it for me and brought it out to the table quite quickly, considering how busy they were. The bread was beautiful and crusty, but not teeth-breakingly so, and every bit of the roll was packed with filling (yes!). The chicken parmi hadn’t been warmed from the toasting, but was crispy and golden nonetheless, although not quite as tender in parts as I’d hoped. It went perfectly with the shaved parmesan cheese, thick tomato sugo and – my favourite – the grilled eggplant layered on top. The fresh spinach leaves added some nice crunch and I only just managed to finish the whole roll. Double Drummer’s food is great value in the Parliamentary Triangle – try it for tasty cafeteria-style meals.
Move to barton a couple of months ago and have been coming here almost everyday. Food to great. A little noisy at times, however if you jump outside in the courtyard you can escape it. Great for a Friday long lunch.
Excellent staff, great fast service, great food and coffee was the best.
Portions served are huge!! Excellent place. Outdoor seating available, excellent menu.
Great Chicken Burger. Dropped in for lunch with a college and had the chicken burger and chips. Place was busy, staff were friendly and service was fast
Prices are very reasonable, nothing to complain.
Coffee and tea were great as well. Friendly stuff, easy to recommend, specially if you're sitting outside
Lovely place! Friendly, polite staff, great food, a peaceful ambience. Highly recommend :)
