A Cafe Etc - Reserva de mesa

I chose this cafe from the many places that are located along Jetty Road. It looked interesting because of the Marilyn Monroe memorabilia but I doubt that it is the best cafe on the strip. The person who took my order seemed a bit disinterested but this was made up for by the friendly barista who delivered my iced coffee and the man who brought out the Eggs Benedictine. The service was fast and the food delivered very quickly. The poached eggs were correctly cooked and the spinach was wilted well. However, the sauce was very dense and although edible I have had better. Also the sesame bun on which the eggs were served was very hard and I chose not to eat it all. The iced coffee...

There are lots of choices for cafes in Brighton, and this one seems a pretty middle of the road kind of place. The Marilyn Monroe photos all over the walls does add a sense of fun to the decor, unfortunately not a trait shared by the staff here who seemed disinterested. The thing about cafes is that very few of them provide food that stands out, and I'm not a coffee drinker, so friendliness of staff , decor and ambience become important distinguishing characteristics for me. The decor and ambience, with some nice 70s/80s music in the background met the mark. In terms of the food and drink, the green tea I ordered (spring morning) was fine enough. I also ordered a smoked salmon bruschetta...

We gave this place a second chance after coming here years ago only because all the other cafes were full. Coffee was appalling, scalding hot and flavourless! We were not able to drink it. The poached eggs were over cooked and the spinach was sad. One boy serving was lovely which was there only saving grace. Feels like a roadhouse meal/coffee on Jetty Road, Brighton. Close it down and let someone else who cares about food and customers have a go! We asked for a refund for coffees and apparently it's just how the boss makes them.

A good place to pop in for a quick bite to eat when you're catching up with friends. Lots of variety on the menu with your standard cafe offerings. On the day I went I ordered the gluten free zucchini slice with salad which was a bit average and was clearly pre cooked and reheated. It came served with a side salad that looked a bit sad. My husband had a pasty with a similarly looking salad. Probably a bit overpriced for what you get but maybe we just got them on a bad day. The friendly and polite staff may lure me back again.

The 1930s decor and cosy vibe drew me in here on a cold and rainy weekend afternoon. Enjoyed a top quality coffee and some friendly service. The wooden tables and chairs are super comfy for a relaxed weekend visit, and the Marilyn Monroe memorabilia everywhere gives the place a quirky vibe. I loved the old 1930s bar fridge behind the counter, and the fact that staff were willing to indulge my curiosity. Highly recommend a visit.

Called in for a coffee and sat at an unoccupied table. Received our coffees and we were then asked to move to another table as this one was reserved. So, how was it reserved as no "Reserved" sign on the table? I declined to move until I had finished my coffee. Won't be returning to this place as there are plenty of other places for coffee on Jetty Road, Brighton. Reserva una mesa ahora

Stopped in for brekky shortly after opening.Pleasant service and small wait time was a plus.Food was hot, tasty and nicely portioned, although I would have preferred my beans were made in house rather than spooned out of a can!Coffee was weak (long black) and green tea was served in a tiny cup.Price for 2: $32

Had a coffee here yesterday after morning after a long walk along the beach, to be honest the coffee was horrible my girlfriend couldn't even drink hers and she even drinks instant at home. I just can't fathom how a cafe can't get coffee right???
