Great local cafe with modern Australian cuisine! They serve campos coffee (brownie points!!) I do wish they prepare their takeaway coffees and food faster, it’s always stressful when you’re counting every second just in case you miss your train!
Decent tasting food but I personally do not think the prices are fair. Overpriced for the amount they give you. It may initially look filling and substantial, but it really wasnt and for the $18-19 range the taste wasnt amazing enough to cover it. Tasty, but just not enough.Ordered the vege benedict. The zucchini & potato rosti was pretty good and the dish as a whole was enjoyable but as I mentioned it was just not filling enough which is why I think the price is too steep. Same deal for the Topiary Deluxe. On this day they didnt have avocado which was replaced with a hash brown.Staff here were amazing though. Really hard working and so bubbly and happy. It was pretty busy on a Sunday morning but they were moving quickly and efficiently to stay on top of it all.
This cafe has a $20 limit for eftpos. Something I find quite ridiculous in this day and age. Don’t even need cash to catch a bus any more! I had breakfast and coffee and still didn’t reach their minimum. Disappointing! Up till that point I was willing to forgive the slightly bitter coffee but I can assure you I will not be going there again.
This is the first time I try the food in Cafe Topiary in Epping. The food are pretty good and generous portion. However, I was a little bit disappointed with their coffee. They do Campos Coffee, but the cuppa served did not deliver the usual Campos bean taste. Also…. I miss my latte art for my coffee 🙁
Originally from Melbourne I look for cafes similar to that back home. Unfortunately I didn’t get to experience or taste the food at this cafe. After walking in we waited to be directed to a table. Everyone walked past us and finally we were told by a very flustered barista that they were very busy and to take a seat anywhere. We sat down at a table that had not been cleared and waited for menus. In the meantime we watched the staff run around with everyone’s orders. One of the staff was folding and gathering cutlery while on her mobile phone. 2 couples walked in and sat next to the table next to us, which was not cleared either. Still waiting for menus, I said to my boyfriend that they will serve them before they serve us as they didn’t even know we were waiting. Surely enough a young kid wiped down their table, gave them water and took their order. At that point I was seeing red and just thought we were going to be waiting for awhile unless we got their attention to serve us. We decided to leave and definitely won’t be returning.
I am a Coffee Lover, with less and less Cafes remain in Epping, I will say Topiary is now the best in Epping. The Topiary Deluxe meal is so tasty that I always want to come back. The Cappuccino is also attractive for those who love relatively bitter coffee.Meal plus a coffee cost around $20 per person.
This is coffee review only; dropped in for coffee ordered flat white, cappuccino and two waters. Both coffee were good well-made and tasted nice and creamy. The lounge seats reminded me of the Big bang theory episode when Penny picked up a lounge seat from the street. You literally feel that you are sitting on something unnerving 🙂 water as priced at $4.40 London night clubs prices 🙂 goodtasteguide.blogspot.com
