Sugar Cube, The, Wollongong

Cafes, Cake Shops and Patisseries

Overall 7.3  3

8 Recommended

Food  9      Ambience  6      Service  8      Value  9     


This small hole in the wall cafe is in direct contrast to the massive portions received when purchasing dessert.

A sinful indulgence, but completely worth it, waffles are the best I have had, ingredients are simple but flavoursome. Coffee is great.

Owner is lovely as we were the last customers came out to our table to have a 15 minute discussion.

Definitely recommended suggest not eating dinner, just make dessert the main meal!

Started off bad from the get go. Called to make a reservation for 8, person taking down the reservation asked for no name or contact number, had to ask if she wanted to take down a name to put against the reservation. Courtesy called on the day to tell them we would be 1/2 hour early if table was available, told we didn’t have a booking, so we made a now one for 7.30. Arrived 7.35 greeted by an unfriendly manager scolding us for being 40 mins late, threatening they were just about to use the table, apparently the booking was taken down as 7.00, should have walked out then.

Our waitress changed midway, both were nice, took down our orders, told they had run out of specials that night at 7.45?

Food was not fantastic by any standard, waited well over an hour between entree's and mains. Manager came out to tell us kitchen has told him our meals will be out in a minute and a half, waited another 10 to receive 3 out of 4 mains. When we asked why there was a delay on the pizza (the easiest meal of the 3) told unless we want to be served uncooked pizza there was nothing he could do about it. 2 out of the three mains we received were cold, and 2 contained chilli when not specified on the menu.

We opted not to have dessert. Needless to say I will not be returning.
