They also were very VERY unfriendly... from as soon as I walked in the door. And they were not busy... only 3 tables sitting down and no queue for coffees...Well... Got a cup of hot milk... with a hint of coffee flavour. No matter... maybe just ask for an extra shot? How dare you! 2 girls behind the counter were not impressed when my partner asked if he could get another shot... he was charged for an extra shot (which he expected and was willing to pay just to avoid upsetting anyone) and then instead of putting another fresh shot into the coffee they threw in a shot that was already sitting in another cup!?! Very rude and seemed to be personally offended by someone asking for a stronger coffee because, well... obviously they don't realise what a flat white looks like... but when it's just white then it's a pretty good sign that it's lacking in actual coffee.I have worked in hospitality... I know what it's like. And I'm always polite and friendly... all I can say from this experience is that the staff do not care about the customers (I smile can go a long way) and certainly do not care about the establishment. Can't comment on the food... but I won't be going back to try any that's for sure.Avoid!

My coffee was brought out quickly and the staff were / are friendly. My eggs Benedict were also quickly in front of me and I was ready to go. They looked great and apart from a slightly soggy English muffin base, tasted good. On the Main Street in Avalon Small Town is a good and reliable place to stop for an informal meal. Very enjoyable. Oh - and the coffee is GREAT !!

The restaurant has new owners and unfortunately, it’s just not as good as it was before. read more The restaurant has new owners and unfortunately, it’s just not as good as it was before.
