First time there. Staff were very helpful, friendly. Food was great plenty of it. The view over Torrens was nice. I just think they need more tables in the sun with the good weather coming.

A perfect location, tasty food, good coffee and awesome service. Always busy on the weekend and now we know why!

$5.30 for a small takeaway coffee that i had to wait 10 minutes for and tasted pretty average and then to be asked to stand near a table outside to pick up the takeaway coffee was weird and when the waitress then started calling my name at the front of the cafe i mean what the hell. I think you could probably do better.

Fantastic location, and the food and coffee was top notch too! The egg and bacon brioche was delicious, so much flavour and cooked to perfection while the coffee was just right the temperature and nailed it. Grab yourself a seat out overlooking the torrens and enjoy, you wont be disappointed.

Coffee had strength & good flavour but a huge amount of foam on the flat whites. Best thing about this cafe is that it is situated right on the Torrens River

Terrible service honestly, some of the staff are very disrespectful. They choose and select when the attend to you and you could be waiting a while before you're attended to.

We arrived at the restaurant around 3pm looking to purchase something for lunch and saw a lunch menu item we liked but the lunch menu was only between 12:00pm and 2:30pm. We waited outside where one of the waitresses was talking to a customer and we tried to get her attention without disturbing her conversation but were unsuccessful as they were deep in conversation unrelated to catering. She saw us waiting at the front and did not bother to halt her chat with the customer to ask if we were served or needed any help. As a result, we tried calling another waitress inside the restaurant who saw us waiving at her but she had a vacuum in her hand so we proceeded to wait as we assumed she wanted to put that down and would attend to us. Instead she put the vacuum down and went to have a chat with another lady in the restaurant completely ignoring our calls to her.

We were looking to dine at the restaurant and order one of the burger lunch items but needed to check whether we could still order it given it was past 2:30pm, but following the etiquette of the waitresses on staff we could not fathom dining at a restaurant were customers (or perhaps some customers, more than others) are treated like that.

Out of frustration, I proceeded to walk into the restaurant to ask the young waitress why she blatantly ignored us like she didn't want to serve us. I was asked to step out of the restaurant given I forgot to put on my mask which I respectfully did and expressed my disappointment.

I informed the supervising staff of my intention to leave a bad review as she made no attempt to remedy the situation and take responsibility of her staff member's etiquette. My choice to leave this review is to exercise the only power I have against businesses who disrespect their customers who should be the most important people for the business. Evident in the comment below, there is no indication of responsibility being taken by the business or apology to the customer, instead it is merely an attempt to undermine my right to share my experience so other unsuspecting customers do not have to endure the same mistreatment.
