This is the first time we had caterers and they were superb were so impressed with the food and service and at a great price. The guest wouldn't stop raving on about the food and the three staff who were working were very polite, friendly and professional. We had some issue with the venue but Goodlife were able to negotiate on behalf of us and ensured a great outcome. These guys go above and beyond we highly recommend them.

Best catering and the cafe is superb not sure what the idiot below was talking about. These guys catered for our Wedding it was fantastic at the price we budgeted for and the cafe is retro style fresh foods, great coffee and the best milkshakes that you ever had we go twice a week. It's a family business so you know that they care give them a go

This café is the best very retro like you are at your parents home in the 1970's. The coffee is fantastic as is the fresh foods I generally have the milkshakes, smoothies or yogurt cups very fresh and delicious at great pricing. Its a family business so all the kids work and they are very happy and friendly. All the locals go there so it can be pretty busy. The food is simple sandwiches, salads, focaccia, pies and plenty of sweets no real hot meals but very fresh and inventive. Its my new local as the owner really enjoys his customers. They also do plenty of catering everyday they are preparing platters and foods they are very busy in this area. HIGHLY RECCOMENDED.

I visited the new retro café inside the Goodlife Party Shop with my 2 year old, while we were waiting for my mum who was at the nearby hospital for an appointment.
The décor is really fresh and groovy, which was what attracted me into this café, over the others in the strip.
We ordered a hot chocolate, and a milkshake with fresh cream on top. The menu specifically lists fresh whipped cream as an option for an additional $1.50. This is rare to find, as most cafes will use whipped cream from a can...which is not fresh whipped cream at all.
So you can imagine my surprise, when I see the owner squeezing cream out of a can into my son's milkshake.
A young waitress brought over my hot chocolate. It was almost filled to the brim, and then had the thinnest layer of froth on top I've ever seen. It had just enough hot chocolate powder in it to make it brown, but had hardly any flavour at all. Because it was so full, she spilt it on the way over, onto the complimentary wafer on the saucer, which then became soggy.
When I went up to pay, I said politely to the owner 'I noticed you squeezing cream from a can into the milkshake, when the menu says fresh whipped cream- have you run out of cream today?'. He replied that he had a few 'bad batches' of cream, and so had switched to the canned stuff.
When I said that I would not have ordered 'fresh whipped cream', if it was in fact cream in a can, and suggested he update the menu, he said 'Oh, that's something I can take into consideration', and then CHARGED ME FULL PRICE FOR THE DRINK- $10 for the hot chocolate and milkshake. WHY would I want to pay an additional $1.50 for fresh whipped cream when we didn't get it!
It concerns me, as they also run a party food business, so if they are taking shortcuts like that in the café, I wouldn't trust them to prepare my food as ordered, particularly when there are so many people with allergies and intolerances these days (including my son!).
Very very disappointing experience, left a very sour taste in my mouth. I've never had a hot chocolate so bad that I've left half of it before, and then to have the owner charge full price when the item on the menu was not as described is just not ok.

Hi Curlycee, cream (from a can) is simply â??notâ?? cream and we understand your disappointment. This is blatant false advertising to say the very least! Artificial cream, soggy biscuits and lacking service are reason enough for us to give them a miss. Thanks for such a detailed review! Reeces
