Second time here, this time had breakfast and couldn't fault the visit. A few people in the cafe for breakfast but speed of food delivery was on par with every other cafe, perhaps faster than some. The friendly staff help make the experience that much better. We will certainly be back.

The prices are reasonable and the staff friendly and efficient. If I had a complain, it's the atmosphere of the place. It a little cold. Like dining in a doctor's surgery waiting room. If it felt just a little more cosy then I'd go to 4 stars. But not without a bit of an update to decor.

I pretty much just stumbled across this place as I was making my way through the back streets from…read moremy friends house to the shopping centre. Needless to say, as soon as I discovered this place I stopped, jumped out, and grabbed a coffee. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to grab some breakfast, but I did grab what turned out to be an awesome coffee. Yeah, my gut feeling turned out to be correct, this place was awesome, but then again many of the awesome coffee shops happen to be located in the back streets, much like this one.

We waited over half an hour for a pre-made sandwich, only to be told the order had been forgotten…read more The waitress apologised, though it didn't feel very sincere. When I asked for a refund, it took quite a while and only the sandwich was refunded, not the coffees we'd had while waiting. The food in the display cabinet looked fairly average, so perhaps it was just as well we didn't wait any longer. Overall, a disappointing experience and not one I'd return for.

Wandered in from my food night's sleep into this cool little long cafe to grab a bite to eat and…read morecoffee! The barista understood the strange Perth habit of a Long Macchiato - which was great to hear. I grabbed the granola, which was balanced and not too sweet. The chunky clusters of oat, walnut, almond, apricot, and cranberry was crunchy yet chewy - the baked nature had not taken all the moisture away. Coffee ... the real reason to drop in... This was wonderful. Smooth. Delicate but fully flavoured. Bitter sweet notes with hints of caramel. Atmosphere is relaxed and very friendly. Definitely a good way to start my day.

Friendly, chill, and delicious. Staff was friendly, great way to start your day of travel.read more

We were driving through the Adelaide Hills and thought we'd try something else for lunch than…read moreHahndorf because it's touristy and overpriced, especially at this time of year. So we had a look in Loebethal and a few other little towns around but just couldn't find anything that looked appealing. Well, luckily we decided to drive the extra 17km to Birdwood because Pomegranate Cottage is a truly lovely place! They have a very cute outside garden, with a fountain and surrounded by lots of trees and flowers so on a sunny day it's probably the best place you can find in Birdwood for lunch. (Mind you the choice isn't that big either) Great setting, friendly service and a good selection of food, ranging from pies to salads, fish to meat and some sandwiches. I had the beef pie for $14, which came with a small salad (no dressing though) and fries. You could tell the pie was homemade and not coming from a freezer. Very tasty and in terms of size I think the dishes are alright for the prices they charge. One thing that bothered me very much though is that the waitress came clearing the plates of the 3 people that were with me while I was still eating. That's an absolute no-go and would be a reason for me not to go back. However, the food was very good so I still recommend the place.

It offers exquisite food and service at cafe prices and the whole experience is amazing. The food here is made with locally grown, seasonal produce to ensure the freshest ingredients every time. This also means that the menu changes seasonally and will surprise you every time you visit. The Scrambled Eggs with Lobster Cream Jelly is a must-order dish! It's a very tasty dish with all the flavors intertwined without being overpowering and with just the right mix. The roasted butternut squash was also great with macadamia nuts and miso mayo. I'm not a big fan of butternut squash, but I thought it was delicious. One thing I really like about this place is that they have a beautiful garden. You can go for a walk there after your meal and experience it.

If you ever wake up on a day off on a Friday or Saturday morning (8.30-4) and you're feeling…read moreeasy-breezy and you're looking for a cruisy, quaint, casual cafe brekky or tea then I highly recommend the Piccadilly Kitchen (PK). The coffee is good, at a good price and perfect with a cheeky slice of cake if you're so inclined. We indulged in scrambled eggs with kasundi relish (amaaaazing!) And avocado and tomato on homemade buttermilk bread. All tasty and filling too. Its uber-kitchy decor and open kitchen gives PK a unique home-meal type charm with a rustic hills cafe quality. The service is an OK pace, if you're not in a rush...i can't imagine this would be the sort of place you'd stop if you were, but as I said, if you go in feeling loosey-goosey, no fuss, no stress, PK is a definite winner. Glad we finally made it and looking forward to returning to try the rest of the lunch menu.

This is a beautiful little spot in the Adelaide Hills. Adjacent to the lower entrance to the Mt…read moreLofty Botanic gardens and situated on Piccadilly road which runs from Stirling/Crafers to Uraidla/Summertown, this little cafe is quite often pumping on the weekend. They have a fairly simple set-up; a small open kitchen and a few tables inside and then a few more tables outside. My first visit was on my brother's wedding day when the three of us bro's went out for breakfast beforehand. The breakfast wasn't huge or elaborate but was well cooked and the coffee was fantastic. I've been back for coffee and cake and the quality is still high. They sell all sorts of jams and spreads made locally in the hills and have a rack of plants out the front for purchase. I also read that they have a barter system there; so when we visited they were asking for lemons and were offering food or coffee in exchange. I like that initiative. If you live in the hills and have driven past on your way to somewhere else and thought "is that place any good?", the answer is yes, so you should pop in and support your local hills cafe. You never know how long these places will stay open if you don't.

The Leaf 'n' Bean is a sweet little spot secluded off the main street of Blackwood in a small…read morecollection of shops near the local Rec centre. The cafe channels a hipster vibe with mismatched furniture and an eclectic use of items as display cases, but the owners have really maximised the space here whilst allowing the patrons to have enough breathing room. Staff are friendly in store and always up for a chat and happy to give you their recommendations on food or tea blend options. The Menu has a good range of breakfast and light lunch options and vegetarians will find themselves relatively well looked after. I'm a big fan of their pancakes (which are really pikelets) as they are very generous on the portion sizes as well as topping options. The coffee here is a wee bit bitter for my own liking but their lattes are crazy creamy. The Litttle Leaf also mixes their own tea blends you can buy in store, whilst I'm not a tea drinker myself, friends have assured me it is top notch. The Leaf 'n' Bean also puts on regular events with live music, exhibitions and dessert nights on their cards. Worth the trip up the hill, check out their Facebook page to see what is happening instore.

Homemade cakes, muffins and slices (a large range of those being gluten free) taste like nanna has baked them herself. We tried the "Lemon Situation," GF Orange and Almond Cake and GF Apple and Rhubarb Crumble muffin thing and were all impressed and received our sweet quota for the week. The Iced Coffees were very creamy and rich with vanilla ice cream - made with real coffee but perhaps a tad too sweet for me. The atmosphere of this cafe is comfortable with a range of seating options from couches to large share tables and cushioned seats in the corner. They also have a lovely courtyard for sitting in during the day. The staff are incredibly friendly, helpful and attentive and seem to really love where they work. I didn't manage to try their breakfast or simple lunch options of soup, sandwiches and quiche etc on the menu but will definitely be back.
