Review Lucky Bat Cafe & Pizzeria - Darwin

Great atmosphere, usually really good pizzas this most recent time a couple were quite burnt but great flavour and ingredients. Awesome space for functions.

Lovely for breakfast or brunch. Very hipster place and you can tell it clearly caters for vegan and vegetarian customers alot. Lovely food, very creative design on lovely bread, but had to pay $5 extra for a bit of bacon which was sort of dumped on the side as an afterthought. Lovely atmosphere and great service in this busy little restaurant/cafe. Parking is quite difficult to get here, but worth coming in to check out. It really has a down-south Melbourne-esque vibe.

Quintessential Darwin! Love the outdoor seating area and atmosphere! The homemadeness of the gluten-free bases is so appreciated! I miss the mushroom/preserved lemon/truffle oil pizza because that was the best pizza I’d had in probably a decade!

Classic fixture in this part of Darwin, where live music and jazz gets periodically played and has a little stage installed in the venue. The day time menu is a bit restricted and drinking on the bar is allowed quite a bit later - not the place for a boozy breakfast. The evening menu is a bit stronger with several options and specials on the go. The pizza is tasty and of good make, thin crust. Drinks are decent..a bit more pricey than the average venue but it definitely has a very territorial feel to it.

Went to Lucky Bat cafe for dinner. Ordered 2 pizzas and were seated quickly After 50 minutes of waiting we politely confirmed our order hadn’t been lost by accident , and were told it was due to being short staffed and “lots of online orders” placed before ours. This means not only a large number of people must have been happy to place online orders 1 hour in advance, but also that staff were aware there was over 1 hour wait for the pizzas and did not tell us We sat and watched other people appear to walk in and place take away orders and leave with pizza, but we’re told that wasn’t possible as they must have ordered online (I’m confused as to what those people were doing then when they verbally placed orders) The pizza was ok, but nothing on the pizza looked like it would take a significant amount of time to prepare. Perhaps a larger pizza oven might help? Or better communication on wait times for food. I appreciate they may have been short staffed but other reviews seem to indicate this isn’t the first time this has happened

Great home style cafe with fresh food and smooth coffee. The bagdad eggs are amazing Highly recommend this cafe! Could be compared to a good Sydney or Melbourne cafe.

Best Pizza in Darwin... Great staff very welcoming.. Coffee and meal also great. A regular but why not when you are made so welcomed 😌

This place makes you believe in capitalism. They need some competition! Some great waiters in the morning, baristas so so. But the food has gone rapidly downhill since they opened. In the evening, you routinely wait over an hour for pizza and kinda feel like you've walked into a party you weren't invited to. The staff sit around talking to themselves and everything is a hassle. The market is cornered in Nightcliff, but I have the feeling they wouldn't survive elsewhere.

I don't usually rate cafes but this one deserves a mention. I came here In between my opens for a quick bite and coffee. I was very impressed with the food and service - very unexpected cause it's a little out of the way . Great coffee and a yummy vegetarian dish . Mouthwatering , nourishing and so healthy! Will definitely be coming back again !

I came here for the first time this morning and I absolutely loved it! Beautiful breakfast and the best almond chai latte I've had in ages. I can't stop thinking about the cute koala tea spoon I used either!!!! Lovely customer service too ��

Great food, great coffee, great service, great decor and great ambience! So far I've had the baked eggs dish and the spanakopita with salads and both meals were top quality, with generous servings. Only open a week so far but it's already become a fav for me (that's probably obvious!) Keep up the great work guys!

I go here for coffee as often as I can and I go for breakfast whenever I have the time.... Every time it feels as if my plate or coffee has been given special and individual attention!

The BRT burger is flipping amazing! Also had cold brew with maple syrup (hadn't encountered that before, what an awesome idea!) and the lemon & orange blossom soda, both delicious. Well worth the visit! ❤️

I had a slack avo on sourdough with haloumi, it was delicious! The staff was helpful & friendly. Such a good place for Mums! My favourite place from now.

Worst coffee I've ever had, sorry I'm a coffee snob. This was so bad, I took a picture it was so bad and sent down to Melbs to my coffee joint their reaction �����

The Bat is a true local amongst the nightcliff/rapid creek area and daily pilgrimage for many. Great staff, great coffee, great vibes!

Cool little spot, flavoursome food and great coffee. A bit over priced with extras, $4 for a thin piece of toast and $5 for less than half an avocado 😕

Just ate a delicious meal of babaganoush on ciabatta, it was very fresh and tasty, thank you �

First visit, was very impressed with the vibe - grey fit out and very friendly staff. Welcoming of kids. The food was reasonably priced and the coffee suitably strong. Good seating options both inside and out. Plenty of parking on adjacent street. Fairly chilled on the Saturday morning we visited, no doubt would be a other busier with Nightcliff Sunday markets. Will definitely go back.

Freaken delish! My fave cafe in D-town. Best cold brew I've ever had.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Loved it!!

Best chilled brewed coffee, enjoyed my avocado and feta on sour bread. This p,ace is a great place with gentle live music in the background, Thankyou

Great cafe - went this morning with a large crew and got there just after they had opened. Totally accommodating despite the large group. Food was great, service friendly and quick, coffee yummy. Thanks guys! :)
