Used to be a fabulous cafe, ow obviously under different management. Staff spent most of their time sitting at a table at the back of the restaurant on their iPhones. Had to go in twice to ask for more coffee. Ordered something tnat was supposed to have vine ripened cherry tomatoes, with deep fried sage leaves. When it arrived it had chopped up unripe obviously cold storage flavourless tomato, no sage, and the goats cheese turned out to be cheap feta. When I complained I was told "we are allowed to make substitutions". To which I replied only if you tell the customer first. Rude and dismissive staff and chefs, I refused to pay for my very substandard breakfast and walked out after waiting fo...
We wish i had read the reviews before going there today for lunch as we would have not gone in .It started okay as seated , menus provided and water and glasses brought to table . We ordered tea which was quickly provided and ordered our lunches, a grilled chicken burger and a pulled pork burger. It took along time, around 40 minutes for the burgers to come and they had told us our food was coming on a few occasions but it wasnt and we nearly had to cancel as we where due at an appointment. The food was average and i suppose we were lucky as a customer on the table next to us complained about her meal and to be fair they said they would not charge her . On the table 2 down from us 2 customer...
In a word, woeful. Literally everything that could have gone wrong, went wrong. Not attentive to us when we arrived, we had to go and get our own water and menus after sitting down and waiting 10 minutes, forgot to put coffee orders through, food took 45 minutes and then came out wrong, no cutlery, it was actually quite laughable now that I look back on it. Food itself was pretty average. Even the people next to us were complaining to us about the service. But I think the real icing on the cake was when we wanted to split the bill 50/50 (the bill was $42 and we both paid paywave...) and the waitress said they didn't do split bills on the weekend. LOL. Anyway, I'd never go back to this place....
Staff members at the beginning were fairly nice, no issues with coffees and they came out fairly quickly. Our meals however took over an hour to come, and weren't all brought out at the same time. One of our friends meals was wrong and she corrected the staff member to which she blatantly accused her of being wrong and that "how could I write the wrong thing, it's right here" we found this incredibly rude, I understand that she may be stressed due to being busy however a customer should never be spoken to like this.Update: We were later compensated when complaining with not having to pay for the drinks. Due to the individual staff members behaviour I still wouldn't come back to this place.

Stopped in here on a sunny Sunday morning with my adult daughter and son for breakfast. Menu reads well, good choice and lovely friendly waiting staff. However that's as good as it gets! It was 10am and we were told we would be waiting for up to 20-25 mins for food as they were down to two chefs in the kitchen, fine with me as I'm on holiday. 20 mins after taking our order and bringing out very average coffees, we were informed that they were out of pancakes, granola, rocket and pears (supermarket and 2 grocery stores up the road!)So we cancelled, paid and left.Shame, shame. Great potential in a great location but you need to sort your staff roster!
This used to be my favourite cafe in coogee but since it's been under new management it's gone from bad to worse.I've been back a couple of times, and every time the service is shocking, the food is less than average, and last time they over charged me on my bill by adding an extra breakfast I didn't have.So disappointing for what used to be a great little cafe
Had to hear from the waitress on a Saturday summer afternoon at 14:00h that the kitchen was close so we couldn't eat there. It's really disappointing to hear from a business that they don't want to work anymore, specially a place that used to have amazing food and service. Better to shut the doors guys.
We went here on a rainy day welcomed by friendly staff.Had their eggs Benedict which was on point and a double shot latte.I think this is the new owner running the shop and can see she is making some great changes.Will be back!!

Stopped for coffee - was not disappointed. Staff were welcoming and the coffee was good. Was the only one there, but couldn't see a reason - certainly haven't found anything better along this strip.
I had lunch at Black Pony after having a long walk by Coogee beach. The food and service are great. I had the lamb burger and house wine.
