The service and staff were functional at best and my tea was a pot of hot water and a tea bag. I ordered a berry smoothie to start which was very nice. Generous serve and neither sweet nor tart. The hot cake for breakfast itself was spectacular looking and very tasty. Thick light and fluffy and covered in a variety of toppings it was so huge it defeated me! That’s a rare thing. Very impressive array of pastries and treats in the cabinet too which didn’t go unnoticed when placing my order. Food was highlight for my visit at Public so kudos to the kitchen.

Love the fact that there are a few 'not breakfasty ' options. I went with the confit salmon, kale and poached eggs dish. Delicious. Good coffee to go with it and professional staff made for a great start to the day. The size of the dishes may present an issue for hungrier patrons but I was satisfied afterwards.

Disappointed as I asked what they were made of and no one could tell me. I’m very lactose intolerant and had no problems eating these all thru Portugal recently but I have heard of these having cream/butter in Australia so i always like to check. All the staff could tell me was that they are custard tarts and no matter how many times I said I needed to know if there was any dairy products, no one could tell me what was in them. As someone who also has a lot of allergies, like many many Australians, it’s essential for any cafe/restaurant to be aware of allergies and intolerances in general. Very disappointing to see that no one cared. Food: 1 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3
