Patissez - CITY

I really enjoyed the coffee and milkshake at this restaurant, but I was shocked when I received the bill for my meal. I ordered sourdough with avocado, which was not specifically priced on the menu, and was surprised to receive only one slice of bread and a tiny sliver of avocado. They charged $4 for the avocado and $5 for one slice of sourdough, in addition to a 10% Sunday surcharge. Compared to the other dishes we ordered, this seemed very overpriced. When we asked the manager about it, their response was that avocado is expensive and they need to pay their staff. While that may be true, it still doesn't justify charging $10 for one slice of avocado on toast. We will not be returning to this restaurant.

We sent this review to the owners of patissez but as they decided not to reply or acknowledge, I will post my review here. First the food was amazing! Absolutely 5 stars. But the male manager we came by was just terrible. We noticed him being rude to a female staff member as we came in the restaurant....and then later when we were paying, he loudly reprimanded the same waitress in front of us. I explained to him that his behaviour was rude and that his treatment of staff was uncalled for. He then became very aggressive. I asked for his name and he said "I have a God given right to not give you my name!". So hostile and awful. I can only imagine how he treats his staff when not in front of customers. I do not want to post negative reviews, especially when the food was delicious, but as I sent an email and had no reply, we decided to post here.

Brekkie was fantastic and the freakshakes get better every time I've visited. Amazing to see that they started a trend around the rest of Australia. Very popular, unless you book you often have to wait for a table, but the wait is worth it. Will gladly visit again.

Brekkie and coffee was just delicious and then eyed off all the yummy donuts on offer. I was amazed by the shakes I saw coming out and it is on my list for the next trip. Great friendly service, with lots of smiles.

Thanks for a delicious Cheshire Cat Freakshake. I went there today with a couple of exchange students before we are heading back home. Great memory!
