double shot deakin

very impressed with double shot - i don't usually venture too far out of this city, but this cafe was really lovely. quite big, very busy. coffees were great, but the eggs benedict was the winner. hollandaise was perfectly made, eggs cooked very well, salmon was fresh. only cons were 2 eggs on one piece of sourdough - would've ordered an extra slice if i had  known. the meals were a little cold, and wasn't the fastestservice(to be fair we had a table of 15 and all food was brought out at the same time, so understandable). the raspberry pancake was delicious, so dense and tasted like a shortcake. overall a good experience, would recommend and will be going again.

ok coffee. theservicewas very nice, the coffee can be really nice but other times not i guess it depends on who is making it, but definitely worth a look!

literally worstserviceof my life. friends got pushed off a table bc it was their "instagram" table, then when we moved, my friend got told "not to turn around" because they didn't want her face in their shot. my other friend asked if she could get some take away hot chips and the waitress didn't look up from her phone and said "mmm no" and walked away. pitiful honestly.

dropped in for a quick lunch mid-week, so it was busy but not heaving.

i tried the breakfast burrito- egg, bacon, chilli jam. it was surprisingly good.

theservicewas friendly and the flat white was great.

give it a go but not in the weekend!

reasonable food, generally consistent and above average coffee. off hand and lack-lustreserviceusually makes for a slightly irritating experience. wait staff are very causal and often forget orders. a few menu favourites deliver well and there are some good comfort food options. prepare to wait for food and longer for coffee - avoid weekend line ups!

food was nice but i foundservicevery rude, food came out at different times, orders were wrong, no apology. also we had a booking but still waited 20 mins for table. was a busy day but still will not go back as found the whole experience very bad and not worth the money

would recommend this place to anyone! i always go out of my way to pop in for a meal when i am back in canberra. last time i visited it was a busy saturday morning but the lovely waiter welcomed us and immediately started organising a table for six of us - very impressive! goodservicegoes along way and they seem to know that at double shot... to top it all off the menu is broad and the food is fresh, modern and absolutely delicious.

busy, urban-style cafe in the heart of deakin.servicewas a bit clinical; but all in all not too bad. coffee was superb.

chicken burger: while this was a decent burger, it didn't live up to expectations! chips were served lukewarm-cold. it is served with fresh pineapple as a base - so really has a tropical flavour to it which will appeal to some! the crumbed chicken was perhaps a little bland...
chicken pot pie: the pie itself was full of flavour along with a sweet puff pastry piece. the size of the puff pastry complemented the pot pie as it wasn't oversized & didn't take away from the filling. the sweet potato chips were crispy & worked well with the dish.

there's only one waitress who was running around, giving her best service, taking order and asking how the meals were, she's so friendly and kind that she made me feel like i had known her from somewhere else (i didn't, she's just super friendly). she said that she could never figure out which cutlery go well with hotcake so she gave me all three (spoon, fork and knife), now that's when she made an impression to me. the rest of the waiter/waitress were not even keen in even doing their basic job.

coffee wasn't anything special and was served luke warm. food on the other hand was really really good. my husband has always been particular with serving size and this time he thinks he got a good value for the $. his pasta's size was generous but i think my hotcake's size was a bit small.

other than that, the atmosphere was really nice. i loved how they have different kinds of outdoor table. you can clearly see the contrast between this cafe and the one next door. double shot was fully packed while there was literally nobody in the next door cafe.

in conclusion, please improve on tableservice(other than the friendly aussie lady waitress with ponytail of course), adjust the size of food's size and come on, please improve your coffee coz i'd really like to come back again but there are other much better coffee choices in canberra :)

stopped here for a quick lunch today and sat outside despite the cold - the blankets were a nice touch!servicewas attentive although slightly rushed. however, the food was delicious and reasonably priced. excellent coffee and decor. we are already making plans to return!

i very rarely take any of my leave in canberra, so when i do, i always struggle to decide where to eat out! after much deliberation, i organised to meet a friend at double shot in deakin for a long lunch. i’m always impressed with the friendlyservicehere, and this visit was no exception. we were shown to a cozy table in the back half of the restaurant, and i ordered the soft shell crab burger ($23), which has tempura crab, wasabi slaw and microherbs on a brioche bun. the burger was huge and had a huge serving of fries with it, so already winning on the value front. the brioche was a

food is the saviour here - everything was delicious and good quality. decor is great butservicecan use a lot of work. prices are also maybe 10-15% too high ($70 for brekkie for 2 is getting ridiculous). the menu has so many great options that i'll be back to try. a serious negative about one dish though was that the sourdough toast wasn't able to be cut!! if you serve eggs on toast, you need to be able to cut the toast to eat it. otherwise, loved both dishes and the juice was delicious too.

very ordinary. burnt toast, flavourless mushrooms, poached eggs were ok but the bacon was meh. coffees also ordinary - drinkable but somewhat burnt. theservicewas pretty bad. waited ages to be seated after confusion about how to get on the list (which was fine as it was a saturday morning and my first time there) but then they took ages to take our orders.  i had trouble flagging down a waitress to request butter for my toast, and then was given what i believe was margarine (crime against flavour!!!). took forever to get out of the place too as it was just total chaos with people from inside lining up to pay in a disorganised clump and constantly being queue-jumped by people from outside also trying to pay. they really need some good communication and organisation. i won't be back.

love this place. it's great for breakfast and lunch. love the decor and theserviceis great too. my favourite place on sundays. what more can you say about a great café

horrendous service, stuck up staff, and deplorable food. wouldn't recommend this place to anyone, the food was average and way overpriced, the staff rude and obnoxious and they gave priority to people who were obviously their mates! this sort of selectiveserviceshouldnt exist in any cafe or small business for that matter. 0/10 do not bother
