the java hut

great familyfriendlyfood hut!!  affordable prices, catering for individual needs e.g. lactose intolerant, gluten free.  my family love the food and the service.  especially love the fact that you never have to wait long for your meal.  menu is outstanding and extensive for the times the hut is opens and closes.  i have also experience deep understanding on special occasions and outstanding customer service, the team really go out on a limb to server you well.  the team vs menu prices are perfectly balanced.  thank you over all we keep coming back and have moved from gawler to norwood city.  see you there soon!

absolute favourite place to get breakfast. very reasonable prices and generous servings. staff are extremelyfriendlyand the environment is refreshing. always love a megacinno.

this place is busy & popular! but i don't really understand why?! the food is nothing more than average & the ingredients are not (for the very most part) sustainable. not wheelchairfriendlyeither. i'd rather have brunch at home.

love it. been to this cafe numerous times now and can't speak highly enuf about it. the food is fantastic, the staff are veryfriendlyand they have the best coffee. anytime i have friends up to visit this is the place i bring them too. special mention to the cook there who works tirelessly to produce such wonderful food. well done and see u again very soon.

great food. the kids just loved their brekkie. pancakes shaped as micky mouse!!
need to book as the place is jammed packed.
veryfriendlystaff.
lots of folk take away coffee.
on road parking available - early morning.
worth stopping by.

gem in the middle of gawler. we found this place when we were driving around gawler looking for breakfast a couple of weeks ago. the 'big breakfast' for under $10 caught our eye as my friend always has that when it's on offer.

it's been interesting comparing the different ideas of what a big breakfast is. the java hut did not let us down. there was no half a sausage sitting forlorn wondering what happened to it's mate. the servings were generous.

my own pancakes were tasty and cooked to perfection.

today, we thought we'd go in and try the lunch menu (despite the fact their breakfast menu goes all day.) i opted for the savoury crepes. hours later my taste buds are still thanking me.

the only thing wrong was once again i forgot to ask for the entree size so it was a little too much for me. i took one bite of the salad and closed my eyes to savour it. i haven't had a salad that fresh in quite a while.

the customer service was great. alwaysfriendlyand full of smiles.

but the prices here... amazing. highly recommend it to anyone who just wants good food for a good price in a good atmosphere.

it's a great place to stop for breakfast on your way out to the barossa, or on the way home from a day out wine tasting.

in our travels we've been to many places trying them all out. the java hut is the only place we've been back to twice.

great value, great service, just needs a polish.. the java hut is one of those places you just can't help but love.

i first experienced it for breakfast one sunday morning. the value for money was astounding. big meals, beautifully cooked,friendlyservice and so cheap.

i honestly don't know how they do it, the food is excellent value.

it's a small place, but the tables are well spaced out so you're not crawling over other diners every time you move. on the two occasions i've visited, there have been plenty of servers... i don't think today's compliment had a person over 25!

there is a kind of charm to the hideous decorations (what is with those brass monkeys?), but the kitchen is open to the dining area and the bright stainless steel gives a feeling of cleanliness and professionalism.

the plastic coated menus are worn and tired. but the tables and chairs are neat and clean.

the food is glorious. each meal i've had has been cooked perfectly, beautifully seasoned and the serves are plentiful. i enjoyed a beef parmi special today, and the salad was fresh and the sauce tangy and delicious. ignore the weird modern art and the clock from a tim burton movie, and nosh down!

negatives? the main point is one that many resturants seem to suffer from, lack of proper cleaning in the dining area.

while i was dining, the floor was swept, but only in the walking areas. from where i was sitting, under a table near the back of the room, i could see a large stray chip that wasn't seen. when you clean, you need to check under empty tables. a family sat at the table while i was there, and i know (had it been me) i would have been grossed out by old food being under my feet.

another indicator of the laxity of the cleaning schedule is small ledges like power points. the build-up of dust is clearly visible, like a black shroud. this shows a lack of care - it only takes a wipe with a damp cloth to keep things presentable, but the heavy layer of filth showed this hadn't been done for months at least.

the spotless kitchen showed this was an oversight, and not indicative of a larger problem - but still, giving the dining area a good going over once a week should be routine.

country town charm, great meals andfriendlyservice. i'll be back again, worth the drive for sure.
