Nice mix of a range of dishes and reasonably priced.

Set amid the canyons and offices in leafy Bruce, it is a veritable oasis of tranquility (we sat outside). A house/hut type place, incongruous in ultra modern, contemporary Canberra, a venue of famed sporting stars from the nearby Australian Institute of Sport as well as the homes of two Canberra rugby (League and Union) teams, the Raiders and the Brumbies. My friend had a sumptuous breakfast of eggs and accoutrements, I some huge slabs of home made raisin toast. But a sizeable menu exists, and for other meals too. Good coffee too

The kids ordered pancakes and french toast, both of which appeared fresh and delicious upon presentation, but under all that icing sugar were visibly BURNT pieces - one on each plate, cleverly hidden and facing down on the plate. The kids were part way through before we realised. When asked while paying, how our meal was, we told them about the burnt food.Apologies, but no offer of a discount was offered. Poor, poor, customer service! Don't ask at the end how a meal is and then do nothing to compensate the customer for an unacceptable experience.Short opening hours and very quiet when we were there - we should have steered clear.

The food is excellent, my wife and I have eaten there twice and both times loved our meals, I've also dropped in once just for coffee. I've had a Tropicana burger and the barramundi fillets and my wife has had the calamari. Would happily recommend any of the dishes though I have to say the barramundi is exceptional and should be experienced. The staff are really pleasant and clearly motivated to making sure you are welcomed and served well and very engaging. The whole aesthetic is warm and comfortable and I'm looking forward to trying the outdoor section in warmer months. The coffee is good, not the best you'll find but up there amongst the better coffees around. Parking can be tricky because it's a popular spot and parking is limited off road but we've not had too much trouble and there is plenty of on road parking nearby. Definitely recommend a visit.

Love Cafe Momo! Great coffee, great food and family friendly! Lovely lunch spot with friendly staff. read more Love Cafe Momo! Great coffee, great food and family friendly! Lovely lunch spot with friendly staff.
