Great for either breakfast or lunch. The cafe is quite spacious so they are happy to accommodate prams etc. If you need to make a large booking on a weekend you will need to pay a $10 per person deposit which turns into a cancellation fee for no shows. The food is delicious though and lots of room for the kids to run around the park after.

Approximate cost: $15-20

Great place to meet friends, have a coffee and get some exercise as well, taking a walk around Jells Park. Also great playground for children.

This is a great cafe in Jells Park. Beautiful views of sorounding parklands and man made lake.

Had an excellent salad. Would return just for that! Prices are reasonable. Location was great, with beautiful scenery to look out upon. Worth a visit, then a walk around the lake!

We come to Madeline because of its location in Jells Parks. From where you sit inside the cafe, you can look out into the greenery and the lake. After lunch or brunch, the kids can run on the grass, play in the park or we can go for a bike ride. The long windows and decor gives Madeline's a pure but modern feel.

Apart from location, Madeline's has a lot to improved upon. Firstly, every time I order a coffee I know it will be take a long time before it is served. The food is moderately good. The breakfast even better. I suggest going there for a late hearty breakfast and take your time sipping down the coffee.

What a lovely venue inside Jells Park. The waitress and host was just lovely and the meal came quickly with pleasant smiles abounding. I thought the food was above average for quality and certainly out meals were good value although I felt generally the menu looked expensive. Very peaceful looking out to the lake.

Approximate cost: $10-15

It is really nice to go for a walk, then stop in for afternoon tea. They do great coffee and better hot chocolate. You can sit inside with full length windows all around and look out over Jells Park, or grab a take away coffee and sit outside.

Madeline's at Jells is a lovely place to come when you've had Mother's Group in the park, and need a coffee and a toilet stop. It has generous indoor and outdoor seating, some more formal, other areas less so. Lots of room for prams outside and outside also has shelter from the sun and other weather. They are licensed and you can also BYO wine and can also do takeaway if you are so inclined. The menu is fairly modern and up to date, and can do breakfast, lunch, dinner or snacks, coffees etc. Pre-packaged ice creams can also be bought from a window outside, so you don't have to tote all the kids and prams inside to order. And from memory, a staff member came round to take our order at the table too....once again that's very convenient when you have young children. In recent communication about a possible child's party, phone manner was great, and they immediately offered to email me through some information. When I asked about changes to the children's party food menu, I was told that it would be possible to discuss this with the chef, no problem. This would be a lovely place to come for a family lunch event when relatives are visiting, the surrounds of the park just enhance the great cafe. Very well done.
