Review Venue Cafe Bar - Orange

Very conveniently located near Woolies in the city centre. Their coffee is pretty decent. The pancakes could use a bit more syrup though coz they taste pretty dry after eating some.

We had a regular experience. The food was average. The coffee was great (large portion). The staff behind the counter was not so friendly. The waiters serving us were friendly. The place vibe is nice and the table service is fast.

Just got some pancakes for breakfast by menu log The were really big, cold , taste less and not even round. Looked like a young child made them . My hot chocolate was so cold

Add poached eggs and gluten-free toast and a cup of tea, all were cooked and prepared beautifully and served in a very friendly manner

The service was very bad, the staff at the counter was very rude , cold and impatient, we had to order in a rush and under the unwelcoming pressure. The Stack Apple Pancake I ordered was poor in presentation and bad quality, it came with almost no strawberry jam but only a super thin polish on the rim of the plate. Where were the Apple? Maybe 5 thin tiny slices within the 3 pancakes....the texture and taste was horrible, taste like pure baked flour...Overall it’s a very bad experience, the place is over rated and overpriced, not recommended and won’t come back any more.

Coffee was quick and nice (that’s the 1-star). Food took 30 mins to get (not especially busy but maybe it’s because they’re ‘getting back into it). Food was luke warm at best. Chips were overcooked. I sat at the counter by the window and the window edge was filthy. Has not been cleaned for months (I’d at all). Health inspection could be very worrying for them. I’ve eaten here before and it has been average but unlikely to return. Too many places to get better coffee in Orange.

Good coffee and very good huge meals! Edit 2/1/2022 Always guaranteed a wonderful meal. The menu has had a revamp since I was there last and some of the newer additions sound absolutely delicious. We tried two of the new ones and weren't disappointed. Definitely worth the visit. Edit 16/3/22 Still 5 stars and I don't give them out too often. Be warned though, meals are huge!

Venue isn’t a bad place to eat breakfast but in Orange there are a lot of other places that are above Venue on the list! I found breakfast was presented well and reasonably nice but it just didn’t quite hit the mark. Coffee was rather week also. And don’t get me started on the price! Are we in Orange or the Northern Beaches of Sydney? 🤷‍♂️
