The coffee is always quick to be served and is streets ahead of any of the franchise coffee places

Eighty/Twenty is a great spot for a very delicious breakfast in Canberra…read more I ordered the "Avo + Tomato" with a side of garlic thyme mushrooms for $21.50 and it was delightful to say the least. My companion ordered the "Free Range Eggs" with a side of warmed tomatoes for $16 and enjoyed it thoroughly. The portions reflect the price as they are heaped and plentiful, suitable for a large appetite. I applaud the restaurant's message, providing food that is clean, natural and unprocessed, as it reflects the standards many people wish to uphold to maintain a healthy lifestyle. They cater for a wide variety of dietary requirements which I believe is very important when managing a cafe. The atmosphere inside the cafe was suitable family get together, aswell as individual work as there are many different table options, eg. individual tables and communal benches. Overall, I would highly recommend Eighty/Twenty cafe to anyone wanting a healthy breakfast with friends and family.

How this cafe managed to be open a year before I found it is incredible to me…read more Important things first- best coffees in Belconnen, hands down. How do I know this? Well, apart from my own taste, it's not uncommon to see owners of other local coffee shops, whose businesses close on weekends, frequenting chatterbox on Saturdays. The food is excellent and very well priced (surprising given Canberra's overpriced brunch market). Friendly staff who remember your face and order round this out. Bonus- some staff also work at Mingle in the city during the week, and as such if you're a city worker, you can check out Chatterbox on the weekend and your coffee will be known!

Parked in a closish Wilsons, and walked to final destination. First impression was how popular it seemed. Waited in line for just a short time - there is lots of staff & 2 cashiers operating. That was good - hate waiting to order. Plenty of tables available. Used the toilet - clean and comfortable. A good sign. Ordered a fruit toast and a muggaccino. When I returned from the loo my table was set and bottle of water available. Nice touch. Generous portions of a very nice fruit toast with sides of butter & jam also in generous amounts. Coffee very nice. Highly recommend for its friendly staff, it's amenities and of course it's very nice food

I was lucky enough to be directed there by the local tourism office, after my friend mentioned she's vegetarian. Everything is great: the atmosphere. The banter between the coffee/chai station and the food station (run by separate people under the same roof). The food itself was fresh and plated up beautifully. It's also a co-working space AND has an adorable selection of locally-made gifts in the front. I suspect this is going to be THE go-to spot for the cool folks of Yass. I hope it is for anyone driving between Melbourne and Sydney, too.

It is unique in its menu, stylish in its decor and has a very cool vibe to it. Architecturally, I describe the cafe as an industrial/Art Deco/urban architecture blend. High ceilings, floor to ceiling windows and a huge expansive space to sit with mod style chairs and wooden booths as well as communal tables. The back of the cafe has another large dining space. The bathrooms are reminiscent of an old cinema. The area just had great feng shui to it, and felt quiet and calming despite it's size. This was especially interesting since we found the clientele was majority families with young children. The coffee bench sprawls the wall adjacent to the entry, and shows off their quality coffee gear and baristas doing what they do best. The coffee here is outstanding. Using beans roasted in their Ona Fyshwick roastery, the way they serve it is visionary, with different milk based blends and you can order according to taste preference, and the staff even can advise which milk would work best. In addition there's also filter, cold brew espresso (single o and blends). They even have a reserve list for their espressos. You can guarantee a good coffee here. Behind the coffee bench is an impressive installation showcasing bottles of wine, and they have a wine list as well as selling craft beers. The cafe has an all day menu and meals to suit dining at brekkie, brunch or lunch so it's extremely versatile. The food here is impressive and the dishes have interesting takes on classics, the use of new and cool ingredients and presented well. It was most certainly a tough ask to settle on a preferred option since they all sounded appealing. I went with the Kingfish, a gf option with a lovely and light cured Hiramasa Kingfish perched on a piece of dark rye, spread with cream cheese and arranged with green apple, beetroot, fennel and dill. We added a side of pickles and this dish was simply perfect. Our friend ordered the Beef Cheek which is suitable for a brunch option since the 16hr braised beef cheek is topped with a hollandaise sauce and the fact that it is served with pearl cous cous and tabouli salad brings it into a lunch dish. Our dining party also ordered their unique take on the smashed avo. This is a gluten free and vegetarian option, served with a cool vegemite ricotta, toasted seeds and nuts, poached eggs, herbs, foccacia. We added some fried chicken to our dish to add a bigger protein hit. Other option include a parmesan & pickled jalapeno waffle, a beautiful green bowl, pork Sando or it can be as simple as a bacon and egg roll or Muesli. The staff here are excellent - efficient and knowledgeable. Overall this was a memorable dining experience.
