Cafe 147 - Charlestown

Even though this restaurant has been open for 2.5 years, it has been tucked away in an arcade area that I had never noticed before.

Revisited Cafe147 recently as a friend of mine had told me that new owners had taken over the café. What a difference! Greeted by friendly new owners, who were happy to have me there and made me feel welcome. :) Had a yummy eggs benedict...More

Both my wife and i have experienced poor service and average coffee at this location, when you do mention to them that the coffee is not great the manager does not respond well to the feedback. A good tip take the feedback on board and fix the issue

We visited Cafe 147 as a family for lunch in August 2016. This was the 5th time I'd been to 147 and they usually do a pretty good job. My work also gets catering from them on a semi-regular basis and they always knock that out of the park.However, on this particular occasion I was really let down. FOOD: 3/10Out of all the times I'd been there, this was the worst. We ordered a chicken schnitzel roll and a lamb pattie burger. The buns were the cheapest looking and tasting buns I've ever been served in a cafe (like the $2 six pack you get from Coles). A brioche or something similar would have been preferred. The schnitzel's crumb coating was soggy and falling off. It didn't look golden at all. The lamb pattie was so mushy and soft, it flattened to a pulp when the burger was squeezed, causing it to leak out of the sides an onto the plate. It was like eating baby food. Overall, both dishes were a massive let down and when they were served they looked like they had been put together by a child, i.e. the presentation was so basic... nothing like what'd you expect at a veteran cafe.COFFEE: 6.5/10With all the amazing coffee available now in Charlestown, if you serve coffee you really need to step up your game. With B-Side around the corner and Playing the Goat within a 5 min walking distance... 147 can't cut it with average coffee anymore... and that's just what they serve. Average, passable and sufficient coffee that will do the job, but you'd hardly go there just for it alone.VENUE

A very friendly, healthy place to eat with great coffee. Always ate at Cafe 147 when they were at Market Town, then they disappeared. Was thrilled when I found them at Charlestown. The food and coffee are always great. With gluten and lactose problems in the family it is such a pleasure to know we have somewhere to go, relax and enjoy our food. Thanks guys :-))))
