I used to live in Armidale as a student and have very fond memories of the town. When I visit…read moreoccasionally I enjoy trying out new restaurants and coffee shops that have sprung up since I left. It was just before 8 am and the owner of Cafe 195 was about to open the store. He kindly let us inside and out of the freezing cold and I explained that we were there for a quick bite to eat as we had to drive up to Qld that day. Then he continued to set up. We waited patiently for about 15 minutes but he ignored us. I politely mentioned that we had an 8-hour drive ahead of us and needed to grab something quickly - should we just come back again some other time? Then he unleashed a tirade about how terrible business has been, how awful customers are, how unreliable his staff are, and how he plans to close up shop as soon as his lease ends. When I mentioned I'd once lived in Armidale he said that obviously I hadn't lived there for a long time because I'd know that nothing opens until 8 am. So we promptly left and enjoyed a tasty and quick breakfast, sans tirade, at Fresh @ 110 instead, which had been open since 5:30 am.

At $10 a pie, including a tiny squirt of tomato sauce, we were expecting fireworks. Sadly, we got a…read moreglow stick. Sure, the pastry was great, but the beef in two of the three pies we got was what I would expect in a pie half the price , or less. An impressive amount of fat, and, in one, a massive chunk of sinewy, fatty, inedible meat. Gross! You want to charge that much for a pie? Fine. But, trim ALL the fat off, and don't charge extra for a squirt of sauce. At that price point, you should be making more than enough profit to be able to absorb the few cents per squirt your sauce costs. Very disappointed. Won't be returning.

The mains are nice (the chicken and mushroom crepe is a great filler), but try to save room for dessert (or come back the next day) - there are great crepes and pancakes to choose from! Prices are nice, considering the portion sizes and quality. Lunchtimes get crowded, but for an afternoon snack (or pre-dinner dessert!) it's a very good choice. If eating alone, you can also pick up one of the newspapers to keep you company! The walls are adorned with various artworks which you can also purchase should one especially tickles your fancy.
