Firstly my bud loved his (1) egg with bacon on toast. I had the special lamb cutlets with mash and beans. It was okay. Just. The mash was lumpy and the beans odd. Maybe frozen. Lamb was okay. And, they do a good coffee.
Nice atmosphere and friendly staff… however I was shown the wrong menu and so when my food arrived it was completely different to what I had ordered, and covered in salmon which I am allergic to. I told the staff and had to wait for them to find the menu they had given me in error so I could prove what I’d ordered. They then offered to make what I had asked for, which was good.. but I was told it had to be different (couldn’t have crepes, only pancakes)… which presumably means the chef can’t make crepes! Half way through my food I went to the bathroom and when I came back, the food had been cleared away. At this point I felt too embarrassed to complain any more as there were a lot of people around. It would have been nice for them to offer some kind of discount for their earlier mistake but they did not. Although staff were friendly, I will not be returning!
Beans Republique has very cheap high teas. We ordered the $29 high tea, and we found that we got a lot of food so it was very well valued. We did notice that a few scones were missing but once we mentioned it they got us more. We also ran out of jam and after we asked for more jam, instead of putting it in the container they just gave us the sachets.
The highlight for me were definitely the sandwiches and the chocolate mousse.
I would highly recommend going to this high tea. Also if you are going to make a booking please be aware that you got to pay for every single person that you booked for. If one doesn’t turn up on the day you will still need to pay for it. This wasn’t explained to me in person when I booked so it was quite a surprise!! Fortunately everyone turned up
We were here for coffee on a Saturday morning. Sat down and just waited to be served. One waitress considered it more important to dry cutlery with a dishcloth than attend to us. None of the wait staff looked particularly happy to be there. On paying,a sign on the cash register listed a number of special deals, one of which we qualified for, yet this was ignored in totalling the bill. There is too much competition in this locale to afford to get the basics wrong.
Really nice place. The food is fresh and tasty. The pancakes were light, fluffy and not too sweet as the fruit made up for that. The coffee was just as I ordered and the service was exceptional. Will definitely go again. Range is great and unusual which is what you want.
Came here for high tea with 7 diners around Sat lunch time. Amazing value for money! For just $20 each we received a tea/ coffee each (mind you the teapots come with enough for 3 cups of tea!), sausage rolls, rice paper rolls (which were delish!), savoury sandwiches, some of the best scones I’ve ever had, and some tasty slices/ cakes. In the city you’d pay $45-$70 for something similar. We are big eaters, and we couldn’t finish all the food they served us! Service was friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend.
Regularly venture to this cozy venue. The service is always bubbly and pleasant. The food, coffee and cakes are delicious. Shame about the U2 over the speakers, but can’t win them all I guess.
