This is what you want in a café…read more You see a structure that stands out with interesting deigns and colours that draw you right in, and as you go inside the theme (Gallery art) has taken over the store and makes for a more interesting place to eat. Not only that, when you ask for the menu that staff are amazing! Friendly and chatty, laughing and joking. Don't know about you, but I reckon that's more important than the menu. And, speaking of said menu, prices range from $10 to $15, staying on the low and reasonable side, so it's a pretty affordable place to be. The breakfast menu was cheap at less than $10, so you'll be stoked to enjoy the atmosphere without thinking youre over spending. Anyway, theres plenty of space in this café, and it's a very comfortable, light, and enjoyable atmosphere. A place you'd go with friends that could easily turn into your regular haunt. If I lived a little closer, I'd be a regular, and I should think it woulkdn't be long before the staff knows your name, and you know theirs. Happy times!

Yet another one of those places where you don't know whether to order at the counter or take a seat…read more(it's the latter btw). Signs must be expensive. After waiting a long time to be served, my scrambled eggs arrived before my coffee. The eggs were fine but small, at that price throw in another egg eh. The smoked salmon was delicious and the coffee excellent. There is no salt and pepper on the table, and the waiter didn't offer any cracked pepper. Never mind, sitting outside is a lovely experience, people watching in the beautiful Strand Arcade. Then how to pay? Despite the table service, you must pay at the counter. Surprise! Cash only!! All in all, probably a one-off.

I ordered the Byron bay brekkie and struggled to finish the whole dish. The salmon was fresh and the poached eggs were made to perfection. I find it a little too bland for my taste buds. It felt healthy with the avocado, but it tastes like something that I can make easily at home. I've had better food for this price. The chorizo brekkie was better but the chorizo was really really salty, which is the other extreme from the Byron brekkie. We mixed the two brekkies and created something more balanced. The chai is pretty good. It comes in a big pot so it's enough for two. Make sure you ask for honey :)

I ordered a chorizo,mushroom and rocket sandwich; my friend ordered French toast with berry compote. My friend didn't really like how the French toast tasted and they got my order wrong twice, even though they were not particularly busy. They sent me the chicken avo and Brie toastie twice. Even though they were polite about it, I feel like their service was pretty lacking. When my order eventually came out, it was really oily and pretty average. I don't like to make a fuss about stuff like that - I get it people make mistakes. But I would've like to see them maybe offer a discount or some incentive for me to come back. Perhaps we ordered the wrong things but it does seem like there was a changing of ownership. The staff are all different and they also don't serve the crepes menu anymore. Overall the dining experience was very average. Who knows? Maybe it was just a bad day but I'm not itching to go back.

A new cafe long the main strip has its challenges but this one still maintains it's innocence…read more Invited to and in we go for more than a coffee. Very hungry and very eager to try the ever joining list of serious small cafes popping up in Parramatta, I was surprised it was empty inside but being also positive that only meant more quicker survive for us. Most people don't seem now to have the time and just order coffees to go. We sat down to this blacken cafe with typical objects aligning the wall associated with the name La Roué. You can tell this place is new and more association is needed for more character. Their menu is certainly quite extensive and split into categories including the specials and popular ones. I'll feast on their popular but typical big breakfast as well eyeing a muffin for later. I was hungry. For some reason, I like heavy European accent service. French and Italian guys shouting at each other is charming. For under $17 I certainly did receive what the menu promised on a popular scale. This was a lot! Good!! The scrambled eggs were very creamy. Totally delicious with a mix of spinach and mushrooms and 2 big sausages, chicken and lamb all on 2 big proper breakfast bread. A big serving of beans too for dipping. Did I mention this dish was big? I couldn't eat more after this and was happy but disappointed when was told their muffins made daily and daily different. The banana muffin that got away. Instead a doppio to top it off as greatest with a big smile and almost high five. He was eager to make a serious coffee for once it seemed. A good lingering taste of Campos origins. If your looking for a good feed for a good price, La Roué will satisfy waddling away. Thank you John of Ermington. Mark My Words

After the refit comes the menu!…read more Chef has an expanded team and a new spin on his innovative palate pleaders. I tried the fresh pappardelle with wagyu toasted meatballs this visit. The balance was just right and despite the pasta keenness to stick to the plate the dish lacked nothing. The dish size was just right and not heavy leaving me keen to taste a special diet innovation an egg and dairy free crepe. Chef made the perfect blend of fruit and crepe and kept our dietary decisions intact ! Delicious and healthy. Great value and easy eating. Off the the game we went if only the wallabies could roll on like Bella blue.

Not angry at each other, they appear to get on with one another, just generally a bit grouchy! I've worked in hospitality, I know the joys of having to deal with demanding customers when you're really not feeling great, but I think these people might be in the wrong game. Although to be fair, they do make a good, strong coffee, which is the reason I go and their muesli with yoghurt and stewed fruit was fantastic, but seriously, the service could do with a once over. They do a good selection of sandwiches ($7.90) and apparently their pasta is pretty good too (price dependent on size). But at the end of the day, as long as I get a decent coffee I don't really mind if the barista isn't in the best mood.

We walked through the madhouse that is the neighbouring cafe and wondered why this place was quiet…read morewith few customers...we are still wondering. The cafe is perched on the corner of the carpark. From the road there is a path that will lead you to the door but from the shopping centre you need to negotiate another cafe and a kid's playground to get to the door. After watching an early game of kid's soccer we were after more than coffee and it wasn't very obvious that they did other stuff until we grabbed the small font menu. On went the glasses and we spotted Spanish eggs and omelettes. One of each and a cappuccino was our order. The also have loyalty cards for coffee so I grabbed one just in case the coffees were good...and they were. The food was good. The Spanish omelette came out in a dish that was layered in beans & sauce, then slices of chorizo topped with mozzarella and eggs. You will need bread to mop up the plate and there are two slices. I needed 3 so I pinched one from my dining buddy. The prices were on par with the rest of the centre for this sort of meal,

We came here after buying a scoopon voucher for their afternoon tea specials. Their savoury items…read morewere nice but the sweet stuff were quite disappointing. I especially enjoyed the quiche and breadcrumb ricotta balls. It's a pity because the cafe is situated next to a lake at a nice park and it has streams of people walking past it every day. The coffee was decent, I ordered a soy latte but I'm pretty sure it was made with cow milk instead because I can't taste the soy at all. Anyway I let it go because I was in a good mood. The staff working here are quite attentive (not that many guests around) and helpful. We had really good service but the food seriously let it down, especially the dessert selection. Having said that, I can only comment on the afternoon tea set. Maybe the other items on the menu are better, although I doubt it. To sum it up, I'll give four stars for the surroundings but two stars for the food. Probably won't be back anytime soon.
