A local Revesby gem. Nice cozy cafe with good food and coffee, served by friendly and hospitable people. I'm going there again.

First time trying oporto i oder the spicy ricee got not flavour like just eating normal rice not taste not spicy and also i oder the spicy cheese chip there was no cheese the not eevn the spice and chip was soggy this is my first and last of oporto i just waste my money
Ever wondered if Italian and Mexican fusion would be a good idea? Well, it's not. Ordered the "nachos" only to find out it was bolognese sauce layered on corn chips with melted cheese, sour cream, and packaged guacamole. I wouldn't recommend ordering this if you like Mexican food.

Have eaten there before and this is the only time I haven't liked something. Hopefully they can fix the recipe.

For many years Elatte Cafe had been my daily cafe while working nearby. Recently I have returned and everything is as good as always. Same friendly staff, great service, excellent coffee and a good range of food. Elatte has my absolute yes vote.

One star is being generous. Today I had a break between clients so decided to treat my mum to a quick brunch. After watching the angry man (who claims he is the owner) pack a fridge full of drinks even while we were waiting. Slamming the boxes down onto the chair. Upon ordering he was cold and unfriendly. We ordered as my mother has been there previously and everyone is entitled to have a bad day. Our food came out undercooked and my milkshake tasted off. Immediately as I approached the counter to check I was met with him raising his voice and saying “what’s your problem?” I explained the “problem” to which he responded (yelling at me at this point) “what you want a free meal? You want your money back?!” “I am the owner and I have two million dollars in the bank! And a big house” needless to say the man is mentally unstable and SHOULD NOT be dealing with the public. We left our uneaten food and drinks with out a refund due the abuse he was hurling! Stay away at all costs! READ PREVIOUS REVIEWS this is NOT a once off
The 9yr old behind the counter taking orders might appear cute at first. But when the hot beverage gets served in a chipped cup and 30minutes after ordering. No plate so no where to put the teabags. Not everyone likes strong tea. No sugar on tables or teaspoons. I had to get up 3-4 times to get what I needed to eat and drink what I’d paid for. Eggs overdone on two of our dishes today. We ordered poached eggs. Not hard boiled eggs. Sourdough was barely toasted. Tables took forever to be cleared. Suggest they give table numbers when orders are taken. Two of us on a table ordered straight after each other. One of us finished before the others food even arrived. Also suggest the child working there wears footwear. Walking around barefoot is not a good look and bad OHS. Is a 9yr old even allowed to work? Taking work from other people who actually have bills to pay. Will not be back

Really bad experience, the wait was 45 minutes. The server could of told us that before we ordered. Once we finally got our meal the bacon was raw and the toast wasn’t even toasted. Don’t waste your time, go to cheese me baby and get a toastie, twice as fast and twice as good also half the price 😂

Always come after dropping my kid off for her dancing class. Love the vibe! Burger is super yum!
Worst coffee I have had in a long time, didn't have any food.
Good for a cup of coffee after class, It was very comfortable to have an iced coffee there. But breakfast or lunch are expensive and small, and there are better options in school.
We are going miss these amazing ladies. Veronica and Y. they have been so friendly, efficient and generally awesome!! Thank you from The Bob Wood crew! x

Great coffee, and the food was on the money.
Great selection of meals and drinks.
Love the styling of the place and staff. Even the locals had a good chat with a couple of them. Great place to enjoy with company or solo.

Came in to try the place that was so highly reviewed only to be very disappointed...

The staff are definitely polite and very friendly. But the biggest gripe I have has to do with the kitchen/ quality of food.

After waiting for a significant amount of time for what is a essentially 2 Big Breakfast. I've asked for it to be taken away.

I was then asked, "Are you sure? The food is ready. " After confirming the order to be packed for takeaway, it was followed by another 10 minutes of waiting and a bunch of noise coming from the microwave.

I get back home to find out that one of my egg yolks have run away and my hashbrowns on both orders have been deep fried by the the devil himself, not a single shred of potato left visible.

My apologies if I come across as rude, but I don't know how else to describe

As travellers , we chose Elatte from Google reviews and were delighted. The service was friendly and professional, and the look of the cafe/ restaurant and the staff too , all clean and smart. He had the omelette with extra sides, and I had the veg fritters with a poached egg added. There were welcome interesting flavours for my simple choice too. Campos cofees for the win and as a bonus , a bathroom you could wish you had at home. A very happy choice

Myself and two colleagues came for lunch, we all ordered one after the other, table service. The person that delivered our drinks was rude and stared down her nose at us when we advised that one of the drinks she delivered was incorrect, secondly the third meal took a very long time to come out, two of us had finished our meal before the third even came out. I have given this cafe a few try’s now and each time the staff there treat me as if I am below them, I feel as though I am not good enough to eat at this place. Overall a bad experience. I’ll be sticking to coffee from Darwin’s from now on.

Great service! food is fresh coffee is on point.
Green juice.... is a must try!
Iced coffee... absolutely delicious
My go to place.
Absolutely 💯 fantastic Hazelnut Latte with the perfect balance of Hazelnut and Coffee which can easily not work. The White Chocolate and Raspberry Muffin was so perfect with crumbs falling off which is nice and light as you can see 👀. Highly recommend and will return here one day as I am not local. PS. Sorry ate most my muffin before I took this photo 😅 was too delicious.
The service is amazing! So quick!! The girls are all so friendly. Sophie our waitress was absolutely amazing! She read our minds when we wanted to order and grabbed us water without us asking! Thanks gorgeous 🩷🩷 we recommend this cafe/ bar any day! The iced Nutella is 🤤🤤🤤🤤

First time here & it was really good. Food was lovely and my Berry 🫐 smoothy was yum! Only thing it took 50 minutes to get our food but I guess that's what happens when a place is popular and busy. Kitchen seemed to be working like clockwork though. Overall 👍

This place is an excellent little local cafe. Great coffee and food at good prices and really nice l, welcoming staff!

As for the numerous bad reviews on here, I would say, whether genuine or not, they are way off base in my experience. If you're unhappy with the offerings of a cafe or don't understand their decisions, try communicating and make an effort to understand before leaving reviews of this kind for a local hospitality business striving to offer great food service in an area that has very few unique dining options. If you're still not happy or don't agree with their choices, simply don't come back.

Spreading your negativity online may make you feel important for a very brief moment but it is simply ignorant, vindictive and petty and hurts the local community by limiting the options for businesses to grow. Coming from a hospitality background myself, I can completey understand the frustration of dealing with unreasonable expectations of hospitality customers.

Reading through some of these ridiculous reviews, I can only say that their comments seem to say a lot more about the people posting them than they do for the business they have targeted.

Beautiful spot for a lovely Brunch! My mushrooms toast was delicious and perfectly spiced. Thank you chef Alex for an amazing breakfast. Her bright smile and excelent service will make us come back for sure!
We went here for lunch and we enjoyed our time. The staff were very inviting and very helpful. The chicken schnitzel was great and my mate enjoyed the cheese and spinach filo roll. The coffees were nice too.

The café holds a prestigious reputation among the esteemed community of students and staff at the University of Queensland (UQ). Being the only café nestled in the heart of the campus, it has become a cherished gathering spot for those seeking a delightful respite from their academic pursuits. With its ample seating areas, it serves as an oasis of relaxation amidst the bustling university life.

Having personally experienced this café, I can attest that it possesses an air of unassuming charm that sets it apart from other establishments. While the menu offerings may not significantly deviate from those of other cafes, it is the intangible essence and the warm ambiance that captivates patrons. As a connoisseur of coffee culture, I find solace in the unique cup designs that are crafted with meticulous attention to detail, reflecting the café's commitment to individuality and creativity.

Moreover, one cannot overlook the significance of supporting local businesses, especially in an era dominated by chain cafes. This café's non-chained status is a testament to its determination to maintain authenticity and uphold a distinct identity. This is reflected in every cup of coffee, every delectable treat, and every interaction with the friendly staff who add a personal touch to every visit.

Beyond its gastronomic offerings, this café has become a melting pot of ideas, conversations, and camaraderie. It is a place where individuals from diverse backgrounds and disciplines converge, forming connections and fostering a sense of community that extends beyond the confines of the university.

In conclusion, while some may perceive this café as being no different from others, I find solace in its genuine atmosphere and unique character. As a cherished establishment in the heart of the UQ campus, it continues to delight students and staff alike, leaving a lasting impression on those who seek an authentic café experience. So, the next time you find yourself at UQ, be sure to visit this hidden gem and indulge in a memorable journey through coffee and camaraderie.

Ok. I have definitely changed my view about this coffee shop. Not only is it that the owner is rude and obnoxious, but he also can’t make up his mind whether he wants customers to come and sit down and enjoy breakfast or whatever, as the tables are there one day, then the next day they’re not. I used to really like coming here. It was quiet and restful. Either that, or the owner has a personality disorder or has an issue with the type of people he wants in his shop. Clearly it’s not me.
I am not the only one who has had issues with this Sam person and I’m sure that I won’t be the last. No, Don’t worry, I will not be going into your shop again. Learn how to treat people respectfully and not judge them at face value.

From start to finish the service was bright happy and friendly very impressed.. And as for the food I honestly think the chicken from the (waffle and chicken) was probably the best chicken I’ve ever had. The interior was beautifully decorated and the whole place gave off a very clean vibe, I would definitely recommend this place.

A Culinary Revelation at Elatte Cafe

Upon stepping into Elatte Cafe, the tantalizing aromas that fill the air promise a delightful gastronomic journey, and indeed, my recent visit didn't disappoint.

The standout experience on this particular visit was the quintessential 4 Cheese Pizza. It was a resounding symphony of flavors that thoroughly captured the essence of divine cheese varieties, ensuring every bite was an exquisite indulgence. The crust had the perfect balance between chewy and crispy, while the cheese blend was simply a delight, a perfect harmony of sharp, rich, creamy, and bold flavors that left an indelible impression.

The accompaniment to this culinary masterpiece was an impeccably crafted latte. Smooth, aromatic, and brimming with the right balance of rich coffee and creamy milk, it was more than a beverage, it was a comforting hug in a cup. The perfect pairing to the gastronomic wonder that is their 4 Cheese Pizza.

Having sampled these delightful offerings, I eagerly anticipate my future visits. If these culinary delights are anything to go by, then Elatte Cafe is undoubtedly a place that beckons one's taste buds for an encore.

This is not just another cafe, it's a place where good food, exceptional drinks, and a warm, inviting atmosphere meld seamlessly to create a culinary experience worth revisiting. Rest assured, Elatte Cafe, I'll certainly be back for more of your enticing offerings.

Best and fastest coffee on campus. Menu items can be a bit pricey, but they are healthy and convenient. I recommend the aoili chicken wrap, falafel snack pot and cold brew. Reliable and fast even in peak times.
Food is very outstanding base on this price range, service is awesome also, I can say the price here is the most competitive breakfast cafe in this area, very good experience, become my favorite breakfast from now on.

I think this café genuinely tries to create something different but it just doesn’t work. It’s not bad it’s just not for everyone the bacon and egg burger came half, half so I had to put it together that’s not a great idea. The burger is too big and the burger is too hard to eat. I just think this cafe needs to really keep it simple. Nobody wants to be writing these reviews keep it simple the burger bread is for a hamburger not a bacon and egg burger that’s more like a brioche for a bacon egg burger. I hope you all the best make the food easy to eat not oversized and difficult to understand
Small but super friendly cafe, great coffee ☕️.
All ordered items were very fresh, table service made it easier for those less mobile. Staff happy to chat. Plenty of customers coming and going. Will definately return with our lunch companion.

This cafe was my absolute favourite, you could get delicious eggs Benedict and it was great.
Went the other day and was met with an owner who said they have no food and when I asked if they still bacon eggs Benedict I was told no? Owner comes across so cranky, won’t come here again which is sad because it was such a good breakfast place.

Ordered a triple Bondi with chilli payed for a triple Bondi with chilli and got a double with no chilli not the first time this has happened from this shop. $19 is a lot for one meal and to get it this wrong is just silly. Didn’t find out until I got home and not driving the 20min to go back. What is a Bondi burger with no chilli??? A boring burger.
What did I pay for then??????????????
Oh well fool me twice and I don’t return. Good luck ripping people off.

A Delightful Breakfast Experience at Little Mermaid in Gold Coast.

Last Sunday, my partner and I decided to have breakfast at Little Mermaid café in Gold Coast, and we are thrilled that we did.

From the moment we arrived, the staff was exceptional. We were seated at a sunny table on the terrace, perfect for enjoying the weather, while our puppy joined us. Although we had visited Little Mermaid on previous occasions, we were excited to try their new menu, which we had seen on social media.

As always, we ordered two coffee, which were perfectly prepared. Additionally, we decided to try the gluten-free eggs benedict and cured salmon toast. Both dishes were delicious, and the presentation was impeccable. I wouldn't change anything about them. The new menu is incredible, on a whole different level. There's no comparison with other cafes and their previous menu.

The service at Little Mermaid is always perfect. Despite the number of customers, including tables with more than 10 people, the staff was attentive at all times, ensuring our experience was comfortable and enjoyable.

I want to highlight the great work done by the Little Mermaid team. Despite the busy morning, they managed to maintain a cozy atmosphere and impeccable service. We have no complaints; on the contrary, we are eager to go back next weekend and continue exploring the rest of their delicious menu.

In conclusion, if you are looking for a café in Gold Coast to enjoy a delicious breakfast, look no further, Little Mermaid is the perfect place. With perfectly prepared coffee, delightful options, and exceptional service, I can assure you that you will have a wonderful experience.

Have been there 3 times in the last 6 months and the chicken in the Bondi burger has been cold every time. Two of the times the bread was stale. I don't normally write bad reviews, but this store needs to lift it's game

My daily haunt for coffee (and often lunch), and I'd have it no other way! Kolbi and co. are the best baristas on campus and always go above and beyond. Fresh, delicious food, decent range of options (including vegan and vegetarian), reasonably priced, superb coffee and yummy juices/smoothies, all complemented by a very friendly, efficient, down-to-earth crew. Thank you for keeping me caffeinated 🙂

Very pretty and shady spot to get work done. Relatively quiet too considering it is far away from the usual bustle of the uni. It’s a lovely spot to break up the usual city scenery.
Been coming here for years. We start our day with a coffee and muffin or toasty on the way to school. You get the locals vibe as soon as you walk in and are greeted by the owner (Veronica). It’s busy, so you know it’s good. But best of all, even during the morning rush it is still super fast service. Very impressive, clean and efficient operation, and importantly, the coffee, food and service are A1 and prices are more than reasonable. We enjoy starting our day here, and will continue to do so… 5 stars all around.

It was a great place with nice customer service. The food was great and the environment.
We visited on the way back to Brisbane after a weekend away with the family. Hands down amazing food - will visit again.
Interesting reading the other reviews here. The food didn't come out immediately but I wouldn't say we waited an exceedingly long time - and the place was packed.
Waitstaff we're friendly, engaging and helpful, especially patient with extra stuff we needed for the kids.
Prices were fair, food was worth the cost.
We will come back when down next

Best coffee in St Lucia! Staff is personable and knows my order and has it almost done by the time I check out! They have a digital rewards card so no need to remember the pesky cardboard.
Our local favorite! Great service by owner and kids are always feel welcomed with special treats sometimes. Good priced and big serving size. We love their BLT and their wraps are my favorite.

Great food, amazing service, top coffee! Great local spot. Worth a visit if you’re in the area
Fantastic food and coffee, and the staff are super friendly. I come here almost everyday, as it's easily the best coffee shop in Varsity Lakes.

If you're not sure what to get, the BLTA is a fan-favourite!
I’ve been attending Coffeeholics most mornings for over a year now and I can happily say they never disappoint! Consistently great service, these girls work hard to always deliver quickly. Great coffee, and my favourite part of my morning is enjoying one of their bacon and egg toasties.

Was surprised to find this cafe in what feels like a quiet out of the way part of Sydney. Passing through and was desperate for coffee but drawn by the witty comments about coffee on the windows.

Nice find. The owner seemed like a friendly guy who cared about his food and coffee (the comments in signage on the window weren’t just puns which was a relief).

Food serving was quite good for the price and quality was very good as well (above expectation for suburban cafe).

Parking was very easy as Tower St isn’t too busy.

Breakfast was surprisingly quite good, although unfortunately wasn't the biggest fan of the coffee (personal preference). Nice venue under the trees with ample seating, and the staff were friendly.
It's a deli, and a coffee shop all in one. The coffee section is great but they could do with some indulgent cakes in a small display cabinet. You know, banana bread, croissants, friands... Did I put my hipster tastes to the test or what that day? Coffee was actually pretty good but I don't think they caught on when I asked for the very continental "hot cappuccino". The soy flat white and caramel latte they got right though, which was nice. Coffee tasted good and wasn't the disappointment I half expected from a suburban locale. Big space. Maybe needs a little more light inside?
Whilst it reasonably priced and a convenient location, the service is appalling. It doesn't cost anything to smile, use manners and appreciate your customers and their support. The "with attitude" in the business name suits the staff and their lack of personalities

Today was the first time we have ordered from this Cafe through Uber Eats and i am so glad that we did!

The food was perfectly wrapped for the trip and nicely presented - there was a lot of thought put into preparing this.

The ingredients were fresh and the taste ...... AMAZING! This Cafe is marked as a favourite and we will be back soon!!

Keep doing what your doing. Thanks team!! :)

Personally my partner, myself and our kids enjoy this establishment very much. We come when we can due to work and life commitments. It's nice to get breakfast in the morning from here when we can, even late in the morning! They're always accomodating, have great hospitality, polite customer service and the food in our opinion is like food from home. It's a home-feel kind of cafe for us, and we really like that. I always order french toast with scrambled eggs, hashbrowns and some avocado (I know its just one photo, but I put the hashbrowns on the plate, they usually come on a seperate plate).
They have a range of food and drinks, and seating inside and a few outside. We sit outside in the designated area during beautiful weather. For us it's 5 stars, we've always had wonderful experiences here and will continue to support this business when we can. Thanks Kadeli and staff!

What I ordered V What I got...

This was supposed to be a Bondi burger meal...
Chicken with sauce.. nothing else... Price has gone up too but quality has plummeted.
$9.50 for burger and chips add cheese to burger and gravy side for the princely sum of $3.50… bit rich but anyway… then sit down to enjoy and find the actual burger patty with cheese forgotten to be put in the bun… whoops!

They *used to* server the best chips on campus :( disappointed today .

They do have a nice outdoor area if you don’t mind the birds wanting a bite of your lunch. Good menu and coffee.
So far I have tried ham cheese omelette, Benedict eggs salmon, herbal scrambled eggs. All were delicious. Clean setting and friendly staff. Great place for a brunch!
The best of the best
Don't be deceived by the friendly customer servive, these guys are wolves in sheep's clothing. It is no surprise that local cafes struggle to compete with coffee giants like Starbucks. Personally, I buy coffee for its unique fragrance, distinct flavour and caffeine hit. I did not pay premium price for some flavoured tap water. Highly recommend avoiding this place.

There were four of us there to have coffee and cake. Staff were quick to take the orders. It was Sunday afternoon so the place was not busy at all, cakes were served relatively quick but the drinks were very slow and two were served then by the time other two arrived first served drinks were already finished. Cake was avarage. Coffee was pretty good.
Its challenging to find a predictable caterer.
Louisa & her team are very reliable, deliver Catering on time at reasonable prices & the fresh quality is always complemented. Very happy to continue supporting this local business.

I read the previous reviews of this new cafe, it really does seem like there is some people or group targeting going on. Those negative reviews only have between 1-7 reviews each. I'd like to post an honest review of this place as our family ate here this morning.

I'll start by saying the food here was really on point the taste and the presentation was 5 out of 5. We chose a few meals from the breakfast menu and smashed avocado was very well presented along with 2 poached eggs. not many places will take this care and effort into a $11.05 avocado on toast. The ingredients looked and tasted fresh. I very much enjoyed my meal and so did our kids (who also ordered a smashed avo and nutella pizza)

The staff were friendly. There were some slight communication issues meaning that I thought i had ordered five meals but only received four. I'll put that down to not listening when the order was repeated back to me.

The negative reviews saying this place is dirty are false. I found the place to be clean and quite tidy for a small cafe space.

My only real issue today was that we ordered around 10:40 am and it took almost 45 mins for our food to arrive (as far as I know there were only 6 orders in front of us) I'm thinking timing here is key If you get in early and order before everyone else you'll get your meal pretty quick. But if the place is busy there will be a wait. I'll put this down to it's still a new cafe and they are still getting the food processes sorted. I'm sure they'll find a way to speed things up when it gets busy.

Unfortunately, I can't comment on the coffee or the drinks menus as we only wanted table water today.

Other than that the place is nicely presented and the food tastes great. it's only a small space so it's probably best suit for groups of 4 or less.
Great food for decent prices. Their daily specials are always good.
Good coffee with limited cake selection
Having said that the muffin was excellent
The food that we had was very good
The Best Coffee on the Gold Coast!! I discovered this hidden gem and now I won't go anywhere else. Greeted with a smile every morning, Veronica and her team know how to put a smile on yours. Do yourself a favour and try them!

Friendly staff. Great food. Healthy options. Gluten free options. All day breakfast. They also offer seasonal specials to try. There is a small outdoor area but inside is quite spacious. A lot of natural light comes through, creating a comfortable ambience. Street parking is generally easy to find.

Crazy first day, lines way out the door with people everywhere! They were fast with cooking though and getting people in and out. Very small place to sit and eat, best to find another seating area or takeaway. Very clean and the atmosphere was big and felt packed all the time. Good Oporto to get food from was a great meal and great service.
Amazing tasting food at great prices. Never disappointed with my lunch here.
The free $14 lunches when I signed up with A2k Technologies were surprisingly good. Staff try and give you as much food or drink to meet that value.

Best hot chocolate in Uni (compared with merlo, Darwin..... it is not too sweet for me. love the taste
But the chicken pasta is below average. the sauce is spicy.
They are my favorite, close to office. Serve one of the best grilled chicken chips and salad!!! And their chips - you shouldn't miss!!

Must try -

Chicken chips and salad
Chips
Cafe latte
Sandwiches
New ownership, quality has gone downhill. Ordered the lasagna, had to wait for it and it was still cold. Would not recommend.
