Friend and I just went for cake and coffee, we stood and waited and eventually asked a girl busy behind the counter (who seemed to be doing all she could to avoid us) if we could order, we looked at menu and said "do you not do cake" the reply was "yes we do but it's not on the menu" she told us what the only two choices were and we ordered. Cake and coffee was served, no raw sugar sachets on table, only Equal I got up and checked other tables no raw sugar there either. Said to waiter there's no sugar and he went and got some 3 sachets !!!! So I have 2 and so does my friend so goes to get another sachet, said again there's none on any table. By now coffee was cold but it matched our dry cake...
This cafe is located on the ground floor of the Rydges Hotel. It's a pretty typical hotel cafe with nice decor and a cosy outdoor lounge area.
We both ordered the big breakfast at $22. This came with 2 pieces of toast, 2 small poached eggs, 2 eyes of bacon, 2 little spicy sausages, a small dish of mushrooms, roasted tomato & a couple of little potato rostis. It was reasonable though the eggs weren't soft, as I like them & the bacon was pretty dry. (Actually, hubby cooks a much better version at home.)
Others in our group had the eggs benny & spanish omelette, both of which looked great.
One reason we chose this spot was that as Rydges Priority Guest Rewards program members,...
We dropped in to Rydges CBD for a nice pizza - we've had it once before and it was very good. .We arrived at 6:30 on Saturday July 29 --- and had to wait for a table to become available. After we sat down, a waiter came to remove the empty glasses, but never cleaned the table full of beer spills. We ordered 2 pizzas - and while they arrived quickly and looked good - the crusts were both very burnt, and soggy. We were not asked about the food. We scraped off the toppings and left most of the burnt crust ... and when the waitress picked up the plates with the obvious burnt crust sitting there - NO eye contact and NO comment at all. Customer satisfaction was NOT the order of the day. We will NO...
I was super excited to try the Cobb salad. I love an American Cobb salad. I ignored the fact that they spelled it 'Cob' - this salad is $24! It has to be good, right??
Wrong. It is a $24 shallow dish of lettuce with a bit of egg and bac and about 2 cherry tomatoes. Avocado out of a tube (at $24, I ask you!) and a sweet, runny dressing. The chef needs to google a proper Cobb salad or drop the price by $15.

The food we ordered tasted fine only the pasta and prawn dish was inadequate as for a main to have only 3-4 prawns in it was pretty poor. 3 of us ordered this dish and all got the same amount so value for money definitely not. We did mention this to the waiter who said he would pass it on but acted like he'd heard it all before. Overall an ok place but we are still looking for the prawns ☹️
Dropped in here for lunch whist at the science fair over the weekend
Service was poor. Food was all out of a packet. Pepperoni Pizza at $21.00 you expect quality. Not cooked properly either.
A $3.59 coles brand version is better. I ask how does a business like this keep trading?
This upmarket cafe seemed like a pretty good place to go after watching a movie at South Bank cinemas. The hot chocolate was pretty nice and I liked how they served it in a clear cup with marshmallows on the side.
Expensive beer and a very surly young male bartender. Not terribly helpful. The service was adequate ....just!

It's hard to resist the smell of bacon and coffee permeating from CBD as you walk by.
I have to say this was the worst Caesar salad I have ever tasted.
