Reviews of Benedicts Cafe

P.

Great cafe that doubles as the community post shop. The cafe has great coffee and food, and while you wait, can watch the kids enjoy the play area with a wide array of toys. Fun for everyone, and the staff are helpful enough to help you out when you find that you need a second set of hands. Bathroom comes complete with a change table and sanitary pail for when your young child does number two while you wait for your coffee. Certainly parent friendly and a great place to meet up with friends with kids.

C.

Always beautiful smiles, smiling eyes behind the masks, great service, and a good laugh with the staff and patrons. Coffee is one of the best around and food is always great.

P.

They'll substitute gluten free gf bread in most of their things, making it a really easy place for a celiac. And the kids loved the bottomless pancakes on Saturday mornings

M.

Located beautifully however a bit expensive comparatively. Best thing is that they've got kids play area within the premises so you don't need to be worried about the kids while enjoying the sitting there. Further the washroom there has also got all the necessities you may need to change the nappy of your kids which I never spotted anywhere else.

My soy hot chocolate arrived quickly and was very nice ... but it inexplicably took 25 minutes to microwave my pastryless keto friendly quiche... which was nice.... the capsicum relish didn't really work with it though. Just a bog standard tomato one would've sufficed. Less is more. Would quite like to go back for the all you can eat pancakes (Saturdays).

S.

Great service. Friendly staff. Yummy food and coffee.

J.

There's such a friendly vibe in this Cafe and you can feel relaxed and looked after by the friendly staff. So nice to see so many age groups catered for. Will definitely be returning. Keep up the great work.

R.

A pleasant surprise- we hadn't been there before but liked the range of counter food, the coffee, the other things on sale that one doesn't usually find in a cafe, and the atmosphere. A lot of locals there too which is always a good sign!

V.

Although quite shabby, older café it has a good coffee and homey feel to it. Random stuff being sold there, like hand-knitted goods. Their breakfast/brunch menu is surprisingly good with reasonable prices. There's a post office inside, too.

N.

This is a great cafe of you have little ones. The play area is great and has an abundance to toys. The food is amazing. Today I had the French toast and it was sublime. My husband had the half serve of big breakfast and was blown away. Would totally reccomend coming here. Great food, great for kids play and lovely staff.

L.

Great location good size cafe. Awesome for parents to bring their kids with toys and a mini playground inside. Yummy food and good food for kids too! People without kids if wanted to be away from play area can sit at front of cafe well away from kids.

S.

Great place to go with young children. The kids had a great time in the play area and they have the biggest coffees I've ever seen! Staff were very friendly.

S.

Lovely food , atmosphere and service such a family friendly environment

B.

Love this place. Excellent for families, great for young kids with a small play area. Prices are low to medium. All you can eat pancakes are awesome $5 kids and $10 adults. Great selection of finger foods plus a great menu.

G.

Love it. Great community spot, fantastic service and food. Love the vibe

E.

If you have loud little kids... they are welcome here. the staff don't bat an eyelid as the kids play on their excellent indoor play area while you enjoy a coffee while chatting with friends. Reasonably priced, yummy home style baking. Particularly perfect for antenatal groups with big tables, visible fenced in play area, fluffies, change table, heaps of space to run around.

B.

Lovely, spacious, child-friendly café with friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere. Just a great place to have a cuppa, a chat, and relax, and if you have kids, the environment is their entertainment! The only downer for me has been the tea. The tea after a short time becomes super strong, and unless the metal ball (containing the tea) inside the pot is removed relatively quickly, it can become intolerable to consume as the tea simply does not stop getting stronger and stronger. It has made me feel ill before. The flavour isn't the nicest I've had either, but it's ok. I now remove the ball from the pot quickly after getting my tea and find it works out fine. That being said, they are super generous with the amount they give you! Chips used to be served up overdone at times, and kids complained it was like eating "burnt toast", but now that has improved and kids love their chips! Occasional issues with taking too long to bring the order to your table, even when not overly busy, but usually they are okay. Complaints aside, It's a place I continue to love to visit and would recommend to others!

M.

Not bad cafe, good to see one in a suburb so you don't have to got town cbd etc.

A.

Can't argue with an all you can eat pancake buffet, with a selection of toppings. We went there as a special treat and it's turned into a regular weekend jaunt. Absolutely love it.

Q.

Very yummy hot chocolate and food. A great child friendly care with big children's play area. Maybe our new favourite!

T.

Love this place - awesome for all ages. So kid friendly with a lovely big play area for the children and big enough that there are spaces to cater for everyone's needs.... from tables to sofas. Nommy food too and the staff are veto friendly.

F.

Arrived very early and there was only one staff working. Asked if I could get the lambs fry for breakfast if possible. Unfortunately because the guy was trying to make coffees for people and work in the kitchen he offered me a meatball on polenta as an alternative. Totally different kind of meatball with a handmade capsicum sauce. It was amazing!!!

M.

Great kids play area. Decent coffee and cake. Kid friendly menu.

S.

Misled by the too good reviews. It's nothing but very average cafe. Coffee was even below average. Couches are ripped and the place look old overall. Friendly staff nonetheless.

This is a great example of a community cafe meeting place. A must place to visit, so much more than just good food and coffee.
