this is agreatplace 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.
our food was 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 the food came 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.
tasty food never covers shocking customer service. we won't be going back.
