Urban Pantry - FORREST

Great coffee. Happy, viberant, friendly atmosphere. Obviously lots of regulars popping in for coffee pickup. Had a great breakfast. Did I mention that the coffee was great?

The staff were nice and the venue is nicely decorated. The food is interesting and very tasty and if “slightly pretentious” is the worst I can say about it, that’s not a bad thing. It’s slightly on the high side of average prices but it’s worth it.

This was my first time at Urban Pantry and I was pleasantly surprised upon arrival. I came here for breakfast. The staff were very friendly and were quick to get us seated and present us with menus. The menu provides a wide range of food from fruit bowls to sweet meals as well as savoury. I ordered Summer Fruits and it was delicious. There was a good balance between the fruit, yoghurt, panna cotta and granola. My only issue was that there could have been a little bit more yoghurt. The cafe itself has a great ambience with natural light flowing through the cafe. There is also an outdoor area for people to sit in as well. Top hits from today are played in the cafe which adds to the social, light and friendly atmosphere of the cafe. <br/ <br/ Overall, the cafe is amazing for dining at any time of day. It is located away from the main city of Canberra but is not too far from the city centre. The food is delicious and the atmosphere of Urban Pantry is very welcoming. Service is quick and efficient. The staff working at Urban Pantry are very friendly. I would definitely come here again.

We were in Canberra for a weekend and looked up cafes to visit via google Instagram. This café caught our eye and we are glad it did. We headed down to Mankua area, which is thriving with cafes, which we were pleasantly surprised about given it was between Christmas and New Year’s.

I went here for a Saturday brunch around 11am. There were heap of people but we didn't have to line up and wait to get a table. It's a very spacious restaurant and the food came out pretty fast despite the number of customers. Food looked really good and I think it's the best brunch place I've been to in Canberra.
