Pretty bad coffee. Pretty average service. Average food. Nothing yuck but nothing to marvel at. It'd not an expensive place to eat which is a bonus. We've been here several times - you'd be better off at the Subway a few shops over.

While waiting 45 minutes to receive our "meal", we watched another family letting them know that 50 minutes to wait was unacceptable. The toast was not toasted. Meal was acceptable. Then the nerve was capped off by charging us three meals when there were only two of us, picked up by my better half. Glad we weren't there to see a movie!

Many times on my venture to the cinemas I have mindlessly walked past this fairly big in size cafe, quite mindlessly. One day, however, after a movie and me and three other friends deciding that fast-food was a terrible option and that we needed to kill some time, so we decided to try out the cafe.

We were brought to our seats by a friendly lady, and then handed over the menus, however, little after sitting down we noticed that the waitress had just finished her shift and was leaving, however, we were quickly and promptly approached by a male worker who was just as friendly.

After placing our orders in, drinks came out at a reasonable time, and after noticing that the table may in fact be a bit small, the worker offered to merge two tables, to which we accepted. The food also came out at a reasonably fast time and we we're devouring our meals in no time.

While placing our orders in, one of my friends, who wasn't feeling up to a complete main meal, decided to order a bowl of wedges, and we agreed that another bowl of wedges be ordered to be shared amongst the remaining three of us. The waiter then exclaimed that one bowl was pretty big, and would be enough, but alas, our selfish ways had the better of us and we proceeded with the two bowls.

In the end, however, we barely began on a second bowl and all felt extremely full and bad at how much food (wedges, specifically) were going to waste. I would without a doubt recommend this cafe to anyone looking for a place to dine close to the Auburn area, without making the trip to Parramatta for a proper "eat out" feel.

Great food, in a great location. People usually want to grab a bite before a movie and how much more convenient can a cafe be (right next to reading cinema's)..
Michael the owner also has great service and never disappoints me.
