My sister and I stopped in to buy coffee after lunch, so we didn't try any of the baked goods, however the smell was just divine and I had said we should have just stopped here for lunch. We both ordered lattes, the staff member having a laugh with us when I order my latte with the lot and my sister is a skinny latte. The coffees arrived quickly and they were just so delicious, I had actually finished mine completely before arriving back at my holiday house a 5 minute walk away. Highly reccommended and by the look of the remaining products on display, I would pick up something to go too.

My sister and I had just finished a mammoth walk and were starving for lunch. We walked into the cafe to line up with 3 groups of 2 or 3 ahead of us. I asked a staff member packing the drinks roughly how long the wait to be seated would be and she advised me about 10 minutes. So we waited. After ten minutes, we discussed going elsewhere, but were so exhausted and thought most places under estimate, so we waitied.....after another 10 minutes, we decided if we went elsewhere we might have the same wait, so we decided to stick it out in the queue. 15 minutes later we were seated. So we waited 35 minutes to be seated. We were placed in a corner right on the window. Great views, but the sun was pounding through and there were no shades, so with little options of sitting choices we were stuck in the hot sun. I ordered Pumpkin Soup for $12.95. It came with a half long roll (imagine rolls at the football for your sausage) and a large size bowl of soup. Soup was absolutely delicious, but 1/2 a roll just wasn't enough so I was really dissappointed. Plus $12.95 for a bowl of soup I thought was overpriced. I also ordered a banana smoothie for $7.50 which was sensational. Really thick, I had to work to drink it and was just what I needed after my big trek. However.....we were sitting for 15 minutes before a staff member came to take our order and then another 15 minutes before our meal arrived. So in all from queueing to eating it was just on an hour. Absolutely terrible in my opinion. Meals were really tasty and were hot, but overall the experience was very dissappointing. Personally, I would go elsewhere.

Approximate cost: $12.95

We were a group of six on a girls weekend. We were seated and seen to quickly with menus. The cafe was reasonably busy, but it is order and pay at the counter which made it quick. I ordered the Eggs Atlantic with smoked salmon on brioche and a french style hot chocolate. The eggs were delicious and the meal was really filling. The hot chocolate, which is made with cream instead of milk was yummo!! A little rich of course, so don't drink it too quickly. The cafe was clean, neat and tidy, the staff were friendly and the meals arrived quickly. There cafe also has deli meals displayed in a glass cabinet, they all looked really appertising. All six women really enjoyed their breakfasts and we didn't stop talking about it in the car on the drive home.

Approximate cost: $16.95

On a recent trip to Canberra I took along with me the Entertainment Book to get discounts on eating out. We walked into the restaurant to place an order. The restaurant had a lovely welcoming feel to it, however there were not customers until after we had entered - one couple - The restaurant is hidden out the way a little, in a little courtyard up from Subway.

We ordered a Gang Mussaman Beef, a Pad Prig Hang, a Pad Thai with vegetables and then rice.

When I first produced the voucher from the book, the lady said they only accept them for dine in, however it never said that on the voucher, but she would make an exception this night.

The meal was nice and I did enjoy it. I was dissappointed with the Mussaman though. The sauce was runny and there were 3 pieces of potato and 5 pieces of meat and considering this dish is only made up of meat and potato, I would have expected a bit more at full price of $15.80 for the dish.

So, although I don't know if I would rush back to the restaurant when in Canberra next, I did enjoy the other dishes, but there was no wow factor.

Approximate cost: $15.80

Dropped the family at the Wharf and my sister and I headed for a coffee shop for a child free chat. We really only stopped here as it wasn't very busy. We ordered a large coffee and a muffin for I think $7.50. My sister had a pear and rasberry muffin and I had a double chocolate muffin. Didn't need lunch that's for sure. The coffee arrived in gorgeous big tea mugs, that need to be seen. We sat at the window looking out across at the school and we just felt so private world. The service was friendly and even when I couldn't decide on which muffin the staff member waited patiently. We sat for about an hour all up and if we had the time would have grabbed another coffee. Really suprising little cafe. Loved it.

I met my sister for a coffee in her lunchbreak. I had two of my children with me we ordered a latte, a skim latte, two hot chocolates for the children and a plate of hot chips. My children were thrilled to bits when their posh hot chocolate arrived with a marshmallow each. The Latte was hot and really quite tasty and the chips were yum yum yum. My sister ordered a take away soup to take back to work and raved about how delicious their homemade soups are and how she often orders in the morning a soup and picks up at lunch time. We had some chips left and without a blink of an eye, the staff happily gave me a take away container to take with us. The cafe also known as 'noc' seems very child friendly, with some play items for children, highchairs are available. The staff are really friendly and it just had a relaxing atmosphere about it too. It is just near Dan's and there is plenty of parking at the rear.

Tried this restaurant one evening when Hubby went out with the lads. So glad I didn't try it with Hubby. We have our favourite Chinese restaurant and we won't be changing. I was just so dissappointed with the food here. I ordered satay sticks. The chicken was incredibly dry and it appeared to have been crumbed prior to cooking. I didn't think the satay sauce was very authentic. I also ordered a Massaman Chicken, which had minimal amount of chicken in it and although it tasted it okay, it just didn't taste as nice as other restaurants. The fried rice had been cooked a little too long, my daughter thought it was burnt. I really did not enjoy this meal at all and usually we scurry to the fridge for the leftovers the following day, I threw them out after no one ate them 3 days later. This restaurant didn't convince me that I should return.

It has been a really long time since I dined here when it was a restaurant menu and now it has changed to somewhat bar food kind of menu in a really good way. There was eleven of us out for a class Mum's night out. We sat upstairs and oh my god it was hot. We sat against the glass balastrade and unless you were seated right on the glass there wasn't any breeze. If you go to the bathrooms expect to sweat it out because they're even hotter than the restaurant. So we ordered drinks, cocktails included, along with our food from the bar, with the food delivered to our table. The chips at $7 were served with aioli and were a good serving, a nice easy snack to share, the pizzas looked beautiful with plenty of toppings. The lamb skewers, there were 3 with a salad roll which I thought a little odd and it was accompanied by a tzatzki and hummus. The hummus was really thick and a little hard to wipe the lamb on. The salt and pepper squid looked yummy although it was $24 and on the menu as a full meal, but there was only a smallish salad and the squid. Everyone at the table commented how delicious their meals were and I regret not getting the nachos as this looked really yummy. Cheapest bottle of white was $30, but the cocktails looked good value and whatever the girls were ordering garnished with mint had a kick to it. It was a little hard to hear once the entertainment started, but that could be age on our part. Enjoyed my evening, it was a relaxed atmosphere and will return again.

I purchased a voucher from an online deals site to try their meat. I rang a couple days before hand to advise of my order and the man who spoke to me was absolutely lovely, really friendly and took time out to chat. When I arrived to pick up my pack, the store was busy busy busy. There seemed to be a few regular customers as they were referred to by name. There was a beautiful selection of meat and some 'fancy' meat you could say. On top of the meat pack I pick up free range eggs for $4 and some ham off the bone. The ham was sensational and next time I go into Dee Why I will definitely buy a bigger amount. The voucher said sausages and I just assumed they would be plain ones, however we got chicken, These were lovely and my children ate them until they hit the chilli and gave up, but they were nice chunky chicken sausages. The pack also included a whole butterfly chicken. Definitely not a whole chicken, the breast had been removed. This was very dissappointing. So of course when I cooked it for a family of 5 I had to come up quickly with another meal for at least two kids as the chicken wouldn't have spread that far. On saying that though, the chicken was delicious and we really enjoyed it. The mince was really nice too. Wouldn't have any hesitation in stopping in again to purchase meat and I personally thought they were very reasonably priced.

Glenrose is not very big anymore due to renovating work, so there is not a lot of choice of stores. I picked up a coffee after shopping in Woolies and it was delicious. I ordered a Latte and it was just what I needed. The staff were friendly but seemed quite young and I was dubious about the coffee I was to be served, but I couldn't fault it. Yum!!
