I've found Raw Sugar 2 to be of better quality than its predecessor in Civic. The service is quick and friendly and they have a larger range of dine in lunch options. They also usually have a lunch special that includes a coffee or smoothie and is great value.

Approximate cost: $10

We often visit the original Raw Sugar Cafe in the Canberra Centre, so when we saw that Raw Sugar had opened in a new location, we thought we should support them too.

When we visited recently for an early lunch, we were told that neither the blackboard specials, nor the offerings on the menu were available, because "there's none left". As it was barely noon, we found this very odd.

When we called in for breakfast this morning, we were told that the Organic Fruit & Nut Toast (a favourite at the original location) was unavailable. Not only that, but the waitress messed up my tea order.

Now we know why Raw Sugar 2 never seems to have many customers!
