For something different we decided to try this busy little Zarraffa`s cafe outside of the Coles complex. It was always full and pumping, so we ordered a chicken & mushroom filo plus a tall cappucino each.

Never again, the filos were heated way before the coffee, not that they were cold, but nothing else was served with it but for some reason, a little squeeze tub of tomato sauce, really? My napkin had dirty fingermarks of what I will assume was the chocolate they put on top of the coffees-I hope.

The filo was very hot but the filling was so full of thickener it screamed fake gelatinous crud and there was no scent of chicken or mushroom, just slop. For about $7 it was rubbish.

I watched as the tall young chap seemed to get confused by his screen and gone were the names called for order but just orders yelled out and hope you were listening. We were sitting close to the ready area, so hubby went up and we explained to the guy about how they were ours as they had been sitting there 5 minutes, our drinks were then pretty much right after.

Some people were coming back with wrong drinks and what looked like the manager had proceeded to sit with friends/family behind us while the place was packed.

A pre-ready urn of froth had been made and it was originally looked to be for the baby cinos, scraped onto the top of the tiny cups and sprinkled with chocolate. then when hubby grabbed our cinos, I asked him, what the hell is this. A lame blot of wadded up froth resembled it had been whacked on part of the top. The flavour, sorry, what flavour, I had a lovely hot cup of milk, I couldn`t taste the coffee at all! Whether we were skimping, a mistake or the regular barista was now sitting behind us, well, who cares, as a first experience, it will be our last. We left the coffees to show how rubbish it was.

Love love LOVE this coffee shop. I'm always greeted with friendly service and hardly ever wait long for my freshly brewed coffee! They have a rewards card too where you score a free coffee every now & again. Plus free WiFi for dine in customers :)

One thing that I do not like is that they always ask if you want an extra shot regardless of the cup size (which ofcourse costs you more money)
