Double Shot Deakin - Canberra

I have visited this cafe on many occasions when i visit Canberra and have never been dissapointed. Friendly, energetic, welcoming staff. Excellent service and delicious, yummy exotic food. This cafe is open, sundrenched seats if you want to sit outside and attention to detail for the Canberra weather which can get chilly, outdoor seating has heaters and blankets. For those who prefer the warm cosy indoors, plenty of seating inside with a decor that oozes absolute class. You might bump into famous Canberra faces. A happening vibrant place for mums coffee mornings, girls catching up for lunch, business lunch, or just a coffee and muffin catchup for elderly couples. This place just caters for all people. A must do, highly recommend, you won't be disappointed.

Wear all you warm gear if going here in winter, we waited outside for 1/2hr for a inside table only to be taken through the closed in section to a rear section which was just as cold as outside! Ordered Tapioca porridge, menu said it came with mango, coconut, dates, agave and pecan crunch. It was basically boiled tapioca with tinned peaches on top and a very small amount of pecan crunch. Disappointing!

Went for breakfast. Busy place this. Bit of a wait for a table and bit of a wait on the food, but the food was good if not a bit expensive. 3 breakfast with coffee etc circa $80. Nice atmosphere though with pretty waitresses and a good vibe. Would recommend but bit too expensive to be a regular.

A visit for lunch on a busy weekend proved to be bit of a challenge. Making a booking by phone was difficult, our party arrived separately and we ended up sitting at 2 tables at the same time. Coffee orders were mixed up twice. A 35 minute wait for food. Bill was completely incorrect and took ages to sort out. 10% surcharge on Sunday and no split bills. Shame. The food was good but just all too hard.

Visited this place a few times. Overpriced, simple, sad-looking soggy salads being served by stuck up waiters and waitresses who think they own the place and treat the customers like rubbish. Won't be coming back despite the fact that I live across the road. I recommend that the managers educate their staff on what good customer service is. None of my friends will be coming back either after experiencing the same stuff.
