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.

Good location right on popular Kings beach, nice looking cafe Food was very average our daughter had Nachos and really enjoyed them, I ordered Caesar salad with chicken never have I had crumbed chicken balls in one before, the other family members didn’t enjoy the meals not much flavour. Coffee was nice Only serve craft beers. Customer service could have been a lot better we asked for a high chair and the girl pointed and said over there no worries we will get it ourselves shall we? The girl taking orders her uniform was really dirty (stained) My biggest gripe was the flies trying to shoo flies away and eat food we were inside not out in outdoor area but the flies were crazy. So to add it up way to many flies inside around food really need some sprays or something, Customer service really is very important to any business.

Been here several times with family. We enjoy the food but we have been served by the same blonde girl several times now who is always unfriendly. She served us again on Sunday late afternoon on Oct 1st and was reliably standoffish and rude. It always seems like a massive effort for her to take our order and there is no thank you from her or any form of pleasantries. It’s off putting and we don’t feel welcome and will be avoiding the shop every time she is on. Otherwise a nice shop to stop off at.

I love this place! I’ve had breakfast and coffee a few times and enjoy their pancakes. One day it looked beautiful with flowers but the next day it looked quite plain. They only serve garlic mushrooms and chorizo but I don’t like garlic and prefer things to not to have garlic. There seems to be a lot of sugary butter cream on the cakes. Although I have put on my criticisms, I do enjoy eating here.

Before starting this review, I had a close look at previous Reviewers work. I have been a long term trip advisor with about 140,000 readers last time I checked but I have never seen such a long and very contrasting range of reviews. Our lunchtime dining experience is now, almost a month ago now . I ordered at the counter for our two orders, paid and we waited until my wife got her meal in a reasonable time but with sweet potato chips which she had not ordered- but let that error be. Meanwhile while she was eating her lunch I waited and waited for mine. I observed what was happening with the staff , i.e. a lot of chat and laughter. So far, great and no problem, just that my meal had not arrived. Eventually a staff member noticed that while 1 meal had arrived and almost finished, No meal for me yet. She checked ,no explanation was given as to what had happened and I still had not started my meal. Note, this was not a restaurant appearing to be struggling to stay afloat in Covid times rather a busy and thriving place where it appeared to be very casually run, little understanding of how to respond to customer complaints and with all the joking and fun going on, perhaps a sign of inattention to the reason to being in business and surviving " The Customers " being overlooked. Check the reviews of recent times and their ratings and comments and see if I am wrong. Some time later,my meal arrived less my order of sweet potato chips, no apology or explanations. At the completion of my meal, a staff member checked to ask how our meal had been. Explained to her what our experience had been, received a genuine apology and she moved on. A great chance was missed to right matters. While I had been waiting so long watching my wife enjoy her meal, we felt that the least the restaurant should have done was to wave charges of my meal or offer two complimentary coffee as a form apology.

Four mature adults. First timers. Went for brunch. Loved the interesting choices on the menu. Loved the food and totally loved the service! David our server, was very friendly, polite and accommodating; he was happy to turn down the music for us inside which made our meal even more pleasant. For 4 x hot brunches plus 4 x mugs of coffee the bill was $83.50. We all rated our dining experience as great! We’ll be back.

My husband and I called in to Coffee Cats on our walk to make a reservation and asked for a specific table which she booked us in. As we had friends from out of town visiting and we planned to start our day at Coffee Cats. As you can see by my photo I received a message confirming the booking and another to confirm the booking. We arrived on the day to find someone sitting at the table we reserved, no actual table reserved at all or a table near where we requested. The young lady just said sorry I have just started you can sit here, which was a wet table and the roof still dripping on the table and chairs. We moved to another table, not very impressed which is not the first time being disappointed. We placed our order, our coffees where not hot just lukewarm the meals were average. We are for giving places a second or third go as everyone’s business can have an off day. We have requested an extra hot coffee on a previous occasion but they burnt the coffee and was undrinkable. When we advised the staff the coffee was burnt all they could say was, did you ask for extra hot. We have advised the business but did not receive an acknowledgment from them. They may have a prime position but that is not everything. There are so many other places on the coast that have a great position that serve very nice hot coffee and excellent customer service.

Booked in for dinner with young kids, someone else sitting at our table and table not wiped properly before we sat down. Food size was very small for price, kids meals were pretty ordinary for price and food was nothing to talk about. Music was good but so loud, we had to yell at each other, not recommended for kids. This place is a cafe, trying to be a restaurant, they should stick to being a daytime cafe.

The food is average and came out cold. We had to ask twice where our iced chocolates were because they hadn’t arrived by the time we had finished our food. One waitress blindly looked at the counter and told us they “should be out soon” rather than actually checking where they were. Pretty average experience, but the location is beautiful.

Nice little cafe on the beach. Service was great. A lot of tables to choose from Overlooking kings beach. The food was average hence 3 star rating. Our bara tacos were lacking seasoning and flavour and our mushroom risotto was a very small serving for the price.

Beach side breakfast, food and coffee was great! Ladies Eggs Benny was amazing! When you don't want a massive brekkie, this was the perfect size & the homemade hollandaise was to die for! The Acai bowl is fresh, super tasty, with the best veganola on the planet! And the service was great too! Super quick to get us to a table. And food came out relatively quick, though the acai bowl was a little slow to come out, but that should be expected with the type of preparation required. Makes me wish I lived on the coast!

It seems to be that cafes today serve toasted breads that are dry, unbuttered and tough to cut and chew. Terrible really, as though they are just stale. My eggs Benny were hard poached eggs, Muffins that took at least five vigourous back and forth motions with the knife to cut through, however the haloumi (an extra) was excelent. My wife complained also of hard poached eggs, over cooked bacon, stale/dry toast, and cold mushrooms. Very friendly staff, and a nice place to sit for breakfast, but the chef needs to improve things a fair bit.

We thought the cafe is ideally located near the beach and sheltered from the windy conditions on the day. The coffee was nice and served to my wife's request, she likes her coffee burnt. The muffins we think are gluten free to my desire.

We came in for coffee and it was great. Got a jaffle to takeaway and even though sitting right in front of the register forgot who I was. Said she was ‘so confused’ when I went to the counter to collect myself. We booked the night before for happy hour cocktails got there to be told we didn’t book early enough and I explained to the ‘so confused’ one we booked the night before. Fair enough there was an extended lunch but the couple having coffees clearly did not book. Attention to detail matters if you want return customers

Visited for take away breakfast with my one year old. Girls serving seemed uninterested. Made the coffee well before the food was ready and was just sitting getting cold. I asked for a bag to help me carry the food as I had my daughter in my arms and they bluntly told me no, they don’t have one and watched me walk away trying to balance the coffee on top of two boxes and my daughter. The food was very average. The scrambled egg almost seemed powdered it was so rubbery and the rest was pretty tasteless. We used to love coming here on our holidays but won’t be again sadly.
