Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Can recommend the Metro Bakery & Cafe. Way more than just a Bakery. Great food and fast service. Not far from the sinkhole.

My husband and I had really delicious dinner at this lovely bakery cafe! We really enjoyed our Greek salad, authentic wood-fired pizza and the excellent bread that came with the eggplant parmigiana. Mt Gambier is lucky to have a cafe that is open from breakfast...to dinner. No wonder it's so popular!!More

The venue appears confused as to its own identity. Bar, bakery, cafe, nightclub, restaurant? Ordered the breakfast gnocchi with pancetta, but unfortunately it was swimming in oil. Staff were not attentive and somewhat inconvenienced by a question. Coffee was the saviour.

Our first time visiting this bakery café. It was packed with locals and others all attracted to the range of baked goods, the selection of cakes, pastries and savoury food plus excellent coffee. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Excellent tasting coffee served at...perfectly hot temperature. Highly recommended.More

We visited on a Saturday night and the place was warm and inviting. The bar offered a good selection of drinks and the food was very tasty. The live music was a cool edition.

We arrived not long before closing but the staff were welcoming. I really enjoy my vegan lentil soup. The hubby had a pie which was lovely and rich with flake pastry. The decor was great with the metal art.

We had given fantastic reviews of the food and this place, last year and had come back with our daughters after telling them how good the food was over here. We had driven all the way from Adelaide. Google said that the restaurant closes at...3 pm and we entered the place 2:27. We were greeted by the attendant saying the kitchen was closed. We told them that we knew what we were going to order and would not delay in placing the order…. Sadly they still refused to take an order.More

I suspect that due to the number of people in the cafe that it's got a good reputation and had a pleasant ambience. We must have just caught staff on a bad day because our order took forever to appear.
