We had a booking for 8.00pm for dinner and were about 10 minutes late. But when we wanted to order the share starting platters - all three on the menu were gone !! They said that it had been a busy night (Friday) and they would see what they could put together for our starters. I thought because they were going to be open on the Saturday that they might have more in the kitchen, but maybe it was just all the fresh daily made items like Arancini balls etc., that were gone. These platters are fairly expensive but do suit 4 people so for between $55 to approx. $57 I suppose that is ok. The chef did put a nice selection together and we all enjoyed it. My main of salmon was delicious - a good siz...
The food and service are both good however for a small, no frills suburban café overlooking a carpark, their prices are more akin to upmarket, rich in ambience restaurants. Lunch for two - paninis with a small serve of chips plus a flat white and a pot of tea was $37. Avoka has just started serving evening meals as well but for a couple sharing a bottle of red (they are NOT byo), two middle of the range main meals and a coffee afterwards the bill would be well in excess of $100. Woodvale is crying out for good, moderately priced, byo eateries but at these prices, Buffet Amici, Sun Seng Chinese or Royal Taj Indian, all nearby and all byo are much better value.
Avoka cafe has only been open for about 3 months. We went there on the advice of a friend and were not disappointed. I had a steak burger - it comes in a Turkish kind of bread so it was different to the standard burger but it was delish!! A side of chips added to the value. There were 4 of us and they had fish n chips, chicken burger and some pasts dish - and they were both full and happy with the tucker. The service was great. Avoka cafe are starting up dinner service soon
Visited with a group of 6 friends for dinner on a Saturday eve. Service was excellent and friendly, portions were huge, and food quality was sensational. We tried the mushroom risotto, calamari, chilli mussels, chorizo linguine, chicken parmigiana, and grilled vegetables with haloumi. All were excellent. Will definitely be visiting again, mainly to try all the yummy desserts that we didn't have room for! Tip: 25% off Voucher in the Ent Book ;)

Local cafe that has been tastefully refurbished - definitely a lovely, homey feel to the place. The fresh food in the display case is tempting. My friend and I enjoyed a relaxing lunch out under the awning. The service is wonderful and staff very friendly. Food was delicious and coffee (which is their own design) uplifting. Enjoyable way to spend a catchup. Have just had liquor license approved and their weekend breakfasts are very popular.
Came for lunch one midweek day and so was easily seated. Weekends are a different story. We live local and shop in this centre and have noticed this Place is very busy on weekends, so go early or try and book. Food was good ( panini and side of wedges )Good coffee and good to see the place is very clean. Recommend.
Came here with friends for dinner , lovely friendly waitress and all other staff were really nice . Had the tasting plates which were good value and 2 other mains and the was food plentiful and tasty . Prices were slightly on the high side for a suburban restaurant but would definitely go again
This is just what we needed in Woodvale, have been a few times for breakfast, or just a coffee. The food and coffee is delicious with very friendly and competent staff, very reasonable prices. Will definitely return and would highly recommend. Enjoy!

I've commented previously on this place but now they are open for dinner too. Good choice on the menu and food was really cooked to perfection. It won't be the cheapest meal you can buy but it's still good value considering how good it tasted
This cafe is great with great coffee and scrambled eggs especially. Gorgeous folk who look after all the customers - nothing is too much trouble. NOt surprised it is most of the time very busy. Way to go Avoca.
