Lovely views overlooking the playground. Great cafe with lots of parking spaces. The staff were great, attentive and helpful despite the fact that the cafe was so busy during a Saturday lunch hour. Coffee was good and we really enjoyed the chocolate torte.
What I ordered:
- Entrée- Goats Cheese, Ricotta and Cherry Tomato Tart with rocket, beetroot & hazelnut salad
- Main- Pumpkin, Quinoa, Chickpea Falafel grilled with rocket, beetroot, feta, pistachio, orange salad & herb yogurt (gf)
Dessert:
- Individual Pavlova with summer fruits & berries
- Macadamia and Honey Parfait (gf)
- Coffee- Mocha
Pros:
- The entrée (Goats Cheese, Ricotta and Cherry Tomato Tart with rocket, beetroot & hazelnut salad) was amazing! The salad went perfectly with the tart so I definitely recommend you try this one.
- Going for the set menu does make you quite full by the time you get to dessert.
- The parfait was really good and I would recommend this over the pavlova.
- Free parking and plenty of parking.
- Beautiful surroundings to enjoy your meal.
- After your meal, you can take a stroll through King’s Park or sit and relax on the grass outside the café.
Cons:
- Unfortunately, the options on the set menu did not have any vegetarian options so they let me choose one from their restaurant mains. There were only two options available and this was one of them. It wasn’t amazing but it was average.
- The pavlova was too sweet for me although the summer fruits & berries were lovely.
- Not many choices in the mains even on the restaurant menu.
- Unfortunately. I couldn’t finish the dessert as I was too full by the time it got to dessert.
- The entrée I ordered as well as the dessert may only be available for large bookings through a set menu which is unfortunate as it tasted amazing.
*3.5 stars with no major negatives. Recently refurbished/renovated and looking good. Service is lovely, as is the location. Food is okay, you can pretty much everything from hot chips and nuggets to a complex meal down to a yummy sweet treat. The only thing that bugs me is the pricing. It’s exorbitant for what it is - a park cafe.
