La Cachette Cafe

Super confused why this cafe gets good reviews?
Food is ordinary, position in right in traffic the place is really run down & dirty & the ability to communicate in English dietary allergies was extremely difficult. Just not much chop.

Sept 2023: Changing me review to a 3/5 as I was not impressed with the service tonight. Tues is their $14 Pasta night however found out tonight after ordering that Boscaiola costs extra which is not mentioned on their sign outside (only extra for seafood is mentioned). Also our two pasta dishes took 35 mins to come out. As a result of the long wait, we were quite hungry by the time our food was served.

Aug 2023: 5/5 Found this cafe through Alexandria's Facebook Group. We came by tonight to try out their Tuesday Pasta night promo. Was a pleasant dinner where we ordered two different pastas - Fettucine Boscaiola and Spagetti Marinara. I was happy with the serving sizes and amount of meat/seafood ingredients. Would recommend this place as it's a neighbourhood gem.

Cute little shop
Open for long hours too
Loved the garlic bread and it was too good

Premium Mocha - was delicious and must try
Rich Chocolate, espresso and steamed milk topped with whipped cream de choc sprinkles

White Chocolate Mocha - it’s a delight for white chocolate lovers…just too good
Sweet tempting white chocolate, espresso and steamed milk topped with whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles

Great coffee, great service, and generous portions: especially the salmon!. Super fresh and the staff are very friendly too!

I mainly selected this cafe for lunch as they have all day breakfast. But after seeing the extensive menu there are plenty of reasons to eat here again! Nice and casual dining setting with tables inside and a few outdoors. Food service was very prompt and everything tasted great! We didn't feel pressured to leave straight after eating and enjoyed chatting for a few hours. There's plenty of street parking. I noticed plenty of people coming in for takeaway lunch and coffee which shows the cafe is popular with locals. Also very reasonably priced!

Mould on food, and staff that could not care less.
We ordered several items and amongst them was a CLT, Chicken Lettuce and Tomato.
The menu was not clear that it also came with a generous helping of carefully curated grade A mould growing on the chicken and tomato.
When we first called the restaurant, we were told that all the CLT's were made fresh - something that is terrifying in this case because it must mean this mould is a particularly aggressive grower and spreader.
My recommendation - don't order from here, but if you must - make sure it's deep fried. Try the chips!

Have been a loyal patron for over 3 years as I live in the neighbourhood. Today I tried to take advantage of their 'Buy 9 coffee, get 1 free' offer, as I have with no issues in the past. I'm a forgetful person so at times I grab new loyalty cards, I brought 3 cards in today to make up the 9 stamps. The lady that served me gave me looks of disdain exclaiming and questioning why I have so many cards, goes on to insinuate I am cheating the system.

That's a slap on the face after 3 years of patronage. Will happily go elsewhere from now on, literally 4 others quality cafes around.

Delicious!! Pancakes and french toast, just perfect. Big portions, great flavors, good price. And the waitress was super patient with me taking ages to choose what to eat. Basically I recommend to go with your+1, order both pancakes and the French toast and then share :)
