The Sanctuary Café

If you are looking at having a baby shower high tea or something similar, look elsewhere. From the first time I contacted the cafe to book in my high tea, the staff were not forthcoming with information. I often felt like I was being rushed off the phone even though I tried to be selective with the times I phoned to ensure it wasn't their busy time. I had to prepay for the high tea in which I did the week before. When I arrived to my high tea baby shower, I was harassed by the older woman who was in charge on the day. She was at me constantly about the fact we had brought in a few decorations, about the fact that I had brought in my own wine bottles (which I did because their wine selection...

School Reunion of 6 @ 10am Sunday. We arrived and they advise us they had lost our booking so they did not want to seat us. When ordering food no avocados and no solutions to no avocados (although franklins is across the road). Food ordered was lovely. My cappuccino was awful it tasted like watered down warm milk not coffee. All the other drinks were fine. One of our ladies order was wrong and fixing it was a big deal to the staff member by the way she rolled her eyes and snuff at the diner behind her back. Our table wasn’t the only table having unfriendly staff issues. It seemed as though none of the staff enjoy their job or wanted to be there. It is such a shame that the staff were so unfr...

We turned up on the wrong day, and even though they were extremely busy they still accommodated us. Whilst we waited for a table to be set up due to our unannounced arrival we were invited to view the photos at the Ken Duncan gallery, some really amazing and quite expensive pictures. The high tea was a sensational 5 course affair. A duck consomme was the first course followed by a selection of hot tasty bites and finger sandwiches. A sorbet to cleanse the palate before the desserts followed by a tea of your choosing. Champagne was served at the start. We highly recommend the food and the whole experience, take your time and enjoy it.

After a long drive to Toowoon Bay, it was very pleasant to stop at this cafe fof a delicious late lunch. We were happy to be able to bring our dog with us and sit under the verandah. The waittress brought over a bowl of water for our fur baby which was great. Lunch was an amazing beetroot, pumpkin salad. On the side we had the Sourdough bread with olive oil, balsamic and dukkah. Lovely spot here with Ken Duncans Gallery next door to browse through.Car parking on site or on the road.Definitely cone back to.

Stopped in for lunch without a booking. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We sat inside but patrons can also sit outside under the verandah with a fine vista and surrounds. Having said all that the lunch time menu was very basic and limited. If you did not like seafood the the choices were slim. I had the chicken risotto and my wife had a greek salad with a side of chips. The food was fine but I would have liked more choice. GF meals available. No drinks and the bill was $38.00.
