urth cafe bar

very disappointed. ambience is very poor.foodvery ordinary. i had fish tortillas with avacado salsa and chilli jam. the fish was battered and the batter was thicken than the fish, which was frozen. couldn't taste the fish. the salsa tastes was overriden by the raw red onion and the chilli jam was watery salsa out of a jar. very poor first impression. will not go back

this is a great place to go if you really want to be left alone or enjoy being treated as a huge inconvenience.
we arrived at 10:30am on a saturday morning to a dining space with only one table occupied. a couple of wait staff were clearing another table nearby, and barely glanced at us as we wondered whether to seat ourselves or try to find a service counter somewhere (you'll find it, should you decide to walk deeper into the cafe, hidden around behind a wall).
we waited for a little while as the couple of staff bustled around us, not greeting us, clearing items from our table without a word or glance, and decided to go hunt down some menus.
when placing our orders we found the staff incredibly unfriendly- they seemed barely able to tolerate our patronage. perhaps something extremely negative had happened that morning and the staff were all deeply traumatised by it? somehow the delightful barista hadn't experienced the pain the rest of the staff had suffered and managed cheery banter as she delivered our luke warm coffees. one previous review claims urth sports the best coffee in toowoomba- maybe if most of the cafes are shut. i'm no coffee connoisseur but warm-ish and weak are easy to identify.
ourfoodwas tasty but overpriced for a cafe in the middle of the queensland produce bowl. smashed avo with a side of bacon and a small coffee came in at just over $25 dollars. presentation was humble, but thefoodcame out quickly and still hot which is a huge credit in toowoomba.
we ate quickly, marvelling as other patrons had their meals placed wordlessly in front of them by the manager (?) and left as soon as we were done.
tastyfoodnever covers shocking customer service. we won't be going back.

this is a worthwhile place to try, the service is polite and friendly. thefoodis a bit cheaper than most places and the portion sizes are smaller. a concern is the layout and poorly designed seating/ table arrangements.

went here for brekkie on a cold toowoomba morning. bf ordered the avo smash which he loved. i had the acai bowl which was nice but not quiye sweet enough for me.foodwas beautifully presented and my boyfriend tells me that it was the best coffee hes had in toowoomba. only problem is the indoor seating is limited so we froze our butts off sitting outiside even with the heat lamps on.
went here for brekkie again today. had the eggs benny sams hollandaise. it was beautiful! eggs had some serious yolk porn going on. the bf had the avo smash again, amazing as per last time.
