It was a while ago now that I ate here, once with my Mum (who rarely gets out due to chronic illnesses), which was really awful. All my poor Mum wanted was a toasted ham, tomato & cheese sandwich & a cappuccino. The ham was awful, & the bread was stale, which is sometimes okay for toasting but not when it threatens to break your teeth; & the coffee never arrived, even after politely reminding them TWICE. Maybe because my Mum was a typical little "ethnic-mama-looking-type" that they gave us no to little attention, but these were definitely NOT nice service people.
SO...about a month later, hubby & I thought we would give it a second chance, but it was even worse, sorry to say. Now, I've run a restaurant with my family before, & I currently run a small café, & there is NEVER any excuse for poor food, or more importantly, even poorer service. I only gave 2 stars because I know how damaging these reviews can sometimes be for small operators, & that's not my intention here, but if I had to be brutally honest, we'll never eat here again. It really is not as inviting as some would have you believe & I feel they could all use some serious customer service training.

Approximate cost: $way too much for the poor quality

Delicious burgers and yummy breakfast and coffee. The staff here are fantastic- they go out of their way to make you feel welcome. This venue has a real family feel about it.

This cafe is a bit of regular meet up point for a few of our friends as it has quite a good value menu and is very kid friendly. The staff are never to busy to make you feel important and I am yet to get any food that I didn't think was of an acceptable standard.

So happy with this place. Around the corner from Coles, good hot coffee (and they take critiscm well if your not happy) lovely cheery women serving you. Food is tasty my fav Mediterranean burger which features dolmadas - yummo! Reasonably priced and comfy booths and pleasant decor. Please try it you'll love it. It got Diamond Creek best trader

This is our local, they say hi to my son every time we come (which is a few times a week). They don't turn their nose up when you share a foccacia with your mum and are soo friendly. Their new burger menu is tasty and very reasonably priced around $15 for a gourmet burger, cheaper then other burger bars. This place is just want D.Creek needed! With cosy booths and freshly made scones we can't stay away!

Food isn't anything exceptional but nothing wrong with it either. The menu while fairly standard has extensive options and their weekly smoothie special is always different and yum. Staff are always friendly and really make the place. Concertina doors make the whole place a great alfresco venue weather permitting. Plenty of room so a nice place to go as a family. Hair chairs are available for littlies.
