Tilley's is great for breakfast, lunch or catching up for drinks. Fantastic atmosphere and not only good drinks menu but good coffee too.

I've been to Tilley's quite a lot over the years and while the coffee is always good, the food leaves a lot to be desired. Recently I met with a friend and we had pea & ham soup which was greasy and like weak gravy. Often the cakes are a better choice. Yes, I agree with one of the reviewers... More

My partner and I eat here regularly and I often catch up with friends on the weekend. The vibe of the place is fantastic - you can stay and chat for as long as you want without feeling pressured to move on. Inside is cosy for winter and outside relaxed and enjoyable on sunny days. They have a good selection... More

This place is great to hang out in for a while; cosy, dark, soothing music. It does need a thorough cleanout - don't like the flies that seem to always buzz by. I don't drink coffee and unfortunately they don't do chai latte, my favourite. But the hot chocolate is OK instead. My daughter loves this place and always asks... More

I primarily have bought coffee from Tilleys every day for 4 yrs as it is up the road from where I live. Recently, I bought a coffee, handed over 10 dollars & got 80 cents returned. I stated to the brunette bar girl I gave her 10 dollars & she made out like I was thieving & lying about it.... More

Always a good weekend hangout. Love the vibe. Only drawbacks is that it needs a thorough clean and should open later on Sunday evenings. Super yummy bread & bud pud.

other than the burgandy surrounds, a great institution - great coffee but a bit average when it's takeaway - don't get it from the window. staff a generally v. good ....avoid the inside in summer time b/c of the flies inside. watch the pumpkin - sometimes it's very old (5+ days).

I've been a couple of times now and have enjoyed both visits. The first time was for mid-week lunch and it was a nice, relaxed lunch outside. Food was tasty, but not amazing, service was quick and friendly. The second time it was for Sunday brunch. The place was absolutely packed, with people waiting 3 or 4 deep across the... More

Tilleys is a piece of the landscape.Sad there are no concerts any more! The ambience is good, the coffee excellent and the menu generally good.
