I've been here about 5 times in 2 months time. I come for the food, not the service. And in all fairness most staff look pleasant enough, except for 2 male staff in particular.

Each time we've had a waiter with attitude who looks like he's either high, or coming down. Also dropped our serviettes on the floor before putting them onto our table again clumsily with our knives and forks. Or acts like we're a nuisance, y'know.. the customer being a nuisance by choosing to eat there!

Always wished we'd get the female waitress as she's the nicest, but we seem to get the other 2 waiters. We have the fritters or the Salmon for breakfast which is always lovely and a generous serve, however, today we ordered 2 plates of fritters and both were burnt. Since this is a one off I'm happy to let it go as the flavour wasn't effected much but even so, visually, they looked pretty horrendous.

Also we took a table at the back of the cafe which was empty except for what looked like some abandoned newspapers. No cutlery, no bags, hence, considered empty! Well! we sit down, and the waiter comes over and says 'can I just grab the financial review off you, I was actually sitting here reading' before he grabs the paper and sits elsewhere? The waiter! nice. We felt so welcome!

Terrible service from a select few, but the food is pretty nice majority of the time. Such a shame, it's a cute little place.

I had coffee and cake here recently and I loved it. The staff were really friendly and the service was quick. My friend ordered the Mud Cake and I ordered a Caramel cheesecake. The cakes were so yummy and quite large. We opted to sit outside which was nice as the inside was a little crowded. Can't wait to go back again to try more of their cakes.

Ordered breakfast, mushrooms arrived cold, poached eggs like rubber, had to ask for cutlery and had to ask for the toast, when the toast finally arrived the eggs were cold. I can't believe that toast would not be served together with the meal. If I had not paid in advanced I would have walked out~

This was an exceptional lunch. My daughter who is a very fussy eater loved every mouthful of the delicious cuisine that the chefs cooked up from scratch. I'm gonna tell everybody I know to head down to Cafe C. p.s the barista on sundays is very cute.

Huge portions, but the food is nothing to write home about. I keep coming back for the Snickers thickshake, though, definitely worth the $6.

The jazz group they have on a saturday are amazing, a must see. This makes this a top location for chilling with snacks and a beer.

Went there today, took a group of 8. Very bad wait staff, rude, even approaching aggressive at one point. Breakfasts came out, the sausages were refrigerator, cold. They don't appear to be able to handle the basics, although it was fairly busy at the time. Still, none of us will return or recommend this place.

Had cake and a hot drink here the other night and the waiter spent the time explaining all the different cakes on offer, they look great. I chose a banana cake and it was stale! no other way to say it folks, the reason why I got a little peeved was it was so expensive $9 a piece. The hot drinks were just the right temperature and the girl serving them was more than pleasant, so I guess the greedy senior staff is the one who should be taking responsibility for this mishap.

One of our favourite places to eat in Newtown for simple, hearty meals. The portions are huge so you're definitely getting value for money. Special mention goes to the lamb shank which my flatmate couldn't stop eating and almost made her explode with yumminess. In my opinion the only downside is having to go outside to use the loos.

Worst nachos ever! Huge and bland with many layers of chips, very strange chilli/meat mix and tasteless discoloured guac. Service is ok. Frappes ect nice enough. But food very average, mine was horrible and the friends I dined with not much better.
