songbird cafe

great little suburbian cafe!goodvariety on the menu and in their cabinet. staff were friendly too. we had the eggs benedict with haloumi and the avo smash. both tasted delicious. would recommend if you’re in the area. go early as it can get busy!

visited this cafe today, first outing since lockdown.
upon entry, made sure to read covid-19 posters and instructions to follow on visit. filled in form for contact tracing, then waited to be seated as instructed by sign. stood there with my newborn and toddler for agoodwhile, watching staff walk back and forth right in front of me with no acknowledgement at all, finally decided to stop a waitress and asked if i was to wait or just find a seat, she didn't really acknowledge what i asked and just grabbed menus and ushered us to a table.
served a glass with half the top of rim missing(cracked off), very dangerous.
all adults received food except my toddler, which we had to chase up. maybe next time, use a notepad when taking an order so you don't miss anything out.
word of advice, a smile and a simple hi goes a long way when anyone walks through your door. customer service 101

tried veg burger, surprisingly good. although hand cut fries were not great.. prefer wedges. mt friend said his pan cake wasgoodas well.

stopped in today to try this cafe for the first time as it is local to us. the pear & ginger muffin was amazing with a light crunchy top and not overly sweet. the coffee was disappointing - i asked how many shots were in an xl and was told only 2, so i requested 4 shots. i was charged for 6 which the barista queried but no offer of a refund for the extra double-shot was offered (i don't really mind if the coffee is good, but i do think they should have offered). my 4-shot cappuccino was very mild with no richness of coffee that you expect for the strength requested. not sure what brand of beans they are using, but if you like a strong flavourful coffee this isn't the place. the layout is very nice,goodvibe inside and a light bright welcoming space. i will be back to try to cooked menu - just a shame about the coffee!!

coffee was really reallygoodbut service was poor- wait time for food was massive and the slice was very disappointing ... might come back after they have had time to work out how to run a cafe
