The shopping centre at Round Corner Dural is a collection of shops built around the bend in the…read moreroad. Several developers have had a go at building shops so that now it is a hodge podge of individual groups of shops with Woolworths at its heart. The newer shops fan out like petals on a flower around the older ones and Cafe Leon is right on the outer limits. Cafe Leon is interesting, several months ago it was a straight gift shop, now it is a coffee shop/gallery/gift shop. I went in for the first time today and I was pleased with what I saw. I had a great lunch and I spoke to the owner - I was the only customer for several minutes. I asked about the amazing array of gifts: ladies handbags, beautiful art glass, costume jewelery, Australiana and a weird collection of clocks. Some things were on consignment, others were for sale. It was strange having lunch in a coffee shop with all this gear around me but it was very interesting. The food was great, the coffee was hot and the service friendly. By the way, their melts are made on Turkish bread and they do a 'ladies' (half size) version.

The Cafe was very quite which is unusual for the area. Maybe it's because the food is pretty…read moreordinary. We ordered raisin toast which came as Turkish toast with raisins a bit strange and not what we would expect. The staff didn't mention or was offered as a alternative option to normal raisin toast. Our order wasn't even correct as our coffees were supposed to be flat whites and they were cappuccinos that were delivered.

I was hunting for some Earl Grey for a friend. The lady in the store was so friendly and knowledgable that I found myself asking about all different kinds of blends. It's not the busiest store around, so I think she appreciated the chat, and I was happy to soak up the information. Everything from Japanese Lime to the Stockholm Blend - it was quite the international affair! The store also has a lovely collection of tea pots and cups that make lovely gifts (or just a little something special for yourself). My friend ended up with Earl Grey...and a cute little tea pot to brew it in!

"I am strongly against surcharges." I tried to complain about the surcharge, "but they didn't care." Due to the lack of an apology I will not be coming to this coffee shop again.

Being smack bang in the middle of Norwest, it's clientele is basically built around it. Whilst it is open spacey and with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating to suit all seasons I find that the service was mediocre at best. What I ordered was made each time after 2 to 3 different people asking me exactly how I had it. Having explained this when I actually ordered it I was surprised to have people continuously asking how I have it given it was on the screen in front of them. This location was kept quite clean and there was more than ample room to move around the tables and chairs and in no way was cramped

#13 for 2019 After…read moreshopping in the mall we wanted to stop, rest, eat something wickedly sweet. OB is known for just that with their chocolate. Went up to the counter to place an order. Service was okay. Nothing to brag about. Stay in Australia long enough, you get use to it. Not bad actually. It was a warm day, we decided to sit outside to enjoy what warmth we could get. Many tables were available. Not surprising as it was after the lunch crowd, mid week. The latte here are really good too. As I was enjoying this cup, I was listening to report stating the world demand for coffee outweighs the production. It is predicted in 50 years coffee will be no more. This is a real dilemma for manu Aussies who enjoy coffee. In fact, stand in any corner of the street you sill see a coffee shop within eye sight. In the city it's not uncommon to see 3 to 4. The strawberry chocolate dip was decadent. The chocolate was rich, smooth creamy, not overtly sweet and deliciously good. Dipping the strawberry, it is such a great combination. After the fruit was gone there was still a bit of chocolate left. It was finger lickin' good. Yup, it's not just chicken that can get that phrase. When in the Rouse Hill Mall, and you need a break, have some coffee and chocolate here. Especially the coffee. Before it becomes extinct.

Had dinner somewhere in the shopping centre and decided to have some chocolate goodness to finish off the night. Walked in and it was quite but something about it made it feel more deserted than quite. The tables with filthy dried chocolate and spilled everything all over them. But I got over that and went to order, which to my surprise was reasonably priced compared to max Brenner. Got the waffle and chocolate classic and hot chocolate, was pumped to dig into it on a cold winters night! But it was luke warm and the chocolate was just that as well. The ice cream came with it and tasted like home brand and pretty much just split when my spoon came near it. I would never normally leave half an uneaten waffle lonely on the table..but I had to this time. Instead cradling my hot chocolate which was pretty good but as for everything else..was bit of a let down unfortunately. I wanted to love it but MB will be my choc shop for crisp winters night to come.

As might be expected from the name, they also hire out kayaks and paddle boats for the adjacent lagoon. We had a wonderfully filling salad called the LAGOON BOWL-- roasted kumera, avocado, quinoa, green leaves, free range poached egg, walnuts, cherry tomatoes and citrus herb oil. The citrus herb oil was perfect-- just the right amount to compliment the veggies. They have a bar with a variety of drinks and also a desert case which looked good, but we didn't partake. The Boathouse is sandwiched between the seafood restaurant on the top floor and the boat and kayak rental on the ground floor. Large open windows make it pleasantly airy and provide a good view of the lagoon. My only criticism is the out-of-order lift(elevator). It looked like it hadn't been working for some time, which limits who can eat here.
