Always something new to try on the blackboard menu or cabinet and recently was Pad Thai. Perfect! Friendly, provide quick service and consistently a quality meal out
My daughter and her high school friends had a couple of coffees here and were accosted for having an apple on one of their laps and the other for eating a carrot. When they were asked to put the fruit away, they politely did it straight away, but the staff continued to publicly humiliate them, which is just unacceptable, calling them rude and suggesting they leave the café. Apparently other girls have had similar experiences.
I’m a regular to Cafe Classic and have been going there for at least 2 years now, often 3 times a week. The majority of my staff who work nearby also frequent Cafe Classic and we all enjoy the warm greeting by our names, the conversations and setting the world to right. The service is genuinely welcoming and the food is also consistently good, not pretentious and extremely good value for money. All of the baristas working at Cafe Classic without doubt ensure this place serves the best coffee in Thorndon.I really should have written this review long ago but often it is easier to write a bad review over a good one. That’s why I believe Zomato and other rating on other review websites should be taken with a pinch of salt and looked at with a broad view in mind. These guys however highly deserve all 5 stars. Well done team!
I visit cafe classic 4/5 mornings a week and get a coffee and lunch from the cabinet, and have for the past 2 years. The team, and several daily regulars, there are the first people I see most mornings and I look forward to seeing them everyday. Even when they are busy they always acknowledge and welcome me with a friendly greeting. They know me by first name and what I order, making my often rushed morning easier. I miss cafe classic on a Friday morning when I have a early meeting, and miss my coffee stop – my boss notices the difference too.
I have missed this place. I don’t work in town any more.I had the chance and went there the other day for breakfast.I ordered the most delicious french toast with yummy bacon, banana and Maple syrup was around $16 so well priced and I got a flat white.I found the staff lovley it was busy with a great atmosphere.It is great to go to a cafe that has friendly staff and is lovely and clean and chic, I will definitely be going back soon.
The food was good, with nice presentation, and it was fairly cheap despite the small portion sizes. However the service was really bad. Our food took a disproportionately long time to get to us and we were often met with blank stares or blunt tones from the staff. First we had to move some tables together ourselves to make one big enough. Then we had to go and get the menus ourselves and almost went down to order ourselves before the waitress eventually turned up. When ordering, the staff also didn’t know the prices of things that did not have the price listed on the menu, so it was a bit of a guessing game.
Good location for a central brunch, and although the menu had some unusual options, the food was of an average standard. The poached eggs in the eggs Benedict were not soft boiled, and the French toast was very sweet with not much thought put into the flavours. The drinks were very expensive, so overall an easy location but not incredible food.
