Went here on a Saturday night with the family for some beautiful Lebanese sweets after having a…read morebath in el jannah's garlic sauce minutes earlier. The atmosphere is nice, it is very much like what a sweets cafe looks like in Lebanon before all the craziness. It's clean spacious and will set out. How ever it does look a tiny bit like my living room furniture wise, but that just adds to the relaxed feel of the place where you can enjoy amazing Lebanese desserts and some of the best coffee that I have had in a long time. The service was fast and friendly with the waitresses joking around with us when trying to speak broken Arabic to them. They cleaned up nice and quick and were very polite and helpful in every other way. I would not hesitate going back, I would recommend to sit back relax and enjoy the desserts and coffee and even take some home with you. Lady's arm and sweet cheese are my favs. Steer away from the typical baklava that you're use to and try something new! It's all good!!

Delicious range of breakfast and lunch options, though my favourite are their thick cut toasts (which are the size of 2 toasts in one) and pancakes, which are fluffy and perfectly sweetened.

It is indeed an abysmal morning. The wind leaves a chilling sensation down one's spine, and the…read moreghostly houl of the surroundings is almost deafened from the chattering of teeth in the icy morning. But never fear. For Coffee Fest lies within Macquarie Centre, with staff awaiting your arrival - with spontaneous service to ensue. Perhaps a crisp, hot cheese, ham and tomato toastie is what your palate is desperately hunting down, or just a mere coffee - whatever the order, and how many the people - this cafe will give it to you within minutes. Quite possibly the most efficient cafe I have ever known. But on such morning, one may have negative views - I certainly do. The cafe has recently raised their prices, but the quality is the same - which I found rather disappointing, and the atmosphere is right next to the cinemas and other nearby shops. So it may be good for a quick break from shopping, but one must seek another place if one wishes to sit down for an extended period of time. Quite simply, the staff are dedicated and efficient - the quality is good and consistent, but for what it is to be commended for in terms of quality and service, it fails to deliver in atmosphere and there are better places to sit down for a chat.

While the decor of this cafe has been left to the memories of time I soon discovered that it was…read moreall part of this cafe's charm. A broken floorboard, dusty wooden model airplane above the counter accompanied by a half dozen black and dusty ceramic jack-o'-lanterns, old wooden tables, mismatched plants strewn about the place. It really does feel like a higglety pigglety kind of a cafe, however what awaits for you in the kitchen will never disappoint. The service is always very nice. The staff are very accommodating, always have a smile and always looking to help. During the day you'll find small pockets of people gathered for lunch or a coffee. During the late nights I've walked passed here and heard the roar of a hundred different voices from the local Korean young adults hanging out for a drink and a meal. They do serve alcohol and there is an big outside area for smokers. Every meal I've had here has never disappointed me. Their chai latte is always perfectly creamy. Their pancakes are always cooked well and the ice-cream compliments it beautifully. Their toasted cheese melt with onion and bacon was just magical, with the salty yet mellowness of the cheese inhibiting the sharpness of the onion. And the avocado and bacon sandwich was perfect down to the last bite. All fresh. All yummy. All filling. And all at very affordable prices. I learnt that this place use to be a nursery, selling plants and the like. The outside will very much remind you of such an environment with the small pebbles all over the ground and collection of pot plants. Inside the dark wooden tones does feel welcoming despite the worn and weathered look. I wouldn't bring a woman here on a first date. With first impressions it can really make you feel like you've made a mistake. But if you're with someone that knows and trusts you then jump in head first and don't look back. Here's hoping Pumpkin stays a part of Strathfield for years to come.

The service was unreal and not in a good way. We walked in and found a place on the patio to have a seat. It was prob close to 20 mins before we got a menu and another 30 to get our drinks. Now this place had people but I wouldnt say it was overly packed. I must add the peach slushee I had ordered was tasty and exactly what I expected. Good size and the chuncks of peach brought it to another level. The concept of this place is cool, trendy, and leaves you with an impression that is worth the visit. Sadly the service let me down that night and because of it I wouldnt recomend it to anyone. When we were ready to leave we tried to get the attention of our server who never came around once to see how we were doing. After 40 mintues of waiting we decided to walk up to the booth and pay in person. I was enjoying girl catch up time so the long wait wasn't on purpose but if the servers were on the ball there would have been a lot more money to be made. All in all I will not return!

I chose the Leg Ham w/ Eggs Benedict which was really tasty. The leg ham was delicious and plentiful with 2 perfectly poached eggs and a great Hollandaise sauce which was surprisingly not overfilling. There were also finely cut pieces of crunchy sweet potato on top giving it another element and texture. My meal and small soy coffee came to $21 which I thought was reasonable and I didn't leave feeling full and tired (I sound like an 80 yo woman). The service was a little slow and sloppy at times but the waitresses were very friendly which made up for it and they also provided a split bill service which is always a bonus for groups.

My coffee was good and the people were cool. The only thing I would like to see would be a bit more signage out front.

I would say check them out if you're in the area for sure.
