Have been here a few times when Cloedeli up the street is busy. Food is very good and tasty, coffee is yummy. There seems to be a lot of takeaway from here.
Staff are friendly, and service is quite good considering there are only 1 or 2 people actually serving, taking orders, making coffees etc.

Odd that practically no one has mentioned this place, odder still that the one review is pretty hard on what's a very pleasant little cafe.

Most people prefer going to Clodelli a little further up the road. Not me. Green Mango has always been friendlier and the wait staff more attentive to me as a customer. I've never had to wait long for either dine in or take away food. The owner is friendly, if slightly overworked, but she always has time for a smile and a pleasant word.

The food, while limited, is generally of very good quality. I particularly enjoy the scrambled eggs with salmon (both smoked on the side and fresh-cooked in the eggs themselves), one of the nicest touches is that it is high quality smoked salmon, not the bulk stuff they serve in other places. They also have some nice seasonal faves that you won't see elsewhere: The goulash with spaetzle is authentically Hungarian and is a nice treat on a cool Winter's day.

The coffee is good, not brilliant but always of a dependable quality and is cheaper than most places in the neighbourhood.

There are only two negatives. First, Green Mango is situated at a street corner with a zebra walk, so sometimes the traffic can be a bit intrusive. Second, they have over the years steadfastly avoided getting an EFTPOS machine. While this is not usually a problem, the dearth of ATM's in the area occasionally makes this an inconvenience.

But overall, this place is a little gem and has a lot more to it that its unassuming look. One of my faves.

Weak and bitter coffees. My scrambled eggs were not that good either. Unfriendly although polite service. Doesn't have anything to encourage my return.
