Urban Pantry in Canberra seems to have a mixed reputation based on customer reviews. The staff at this cafe are described as friendly and helpful, with efficient service and a welcoming atmosphere. However, there are complaints about the owners, who are said to be arrogant and unfriendly. Patrons have also mentioned issues with the presentation of food, with some dishes receiving praise for their taste while others are criticized for their lackluster appearance. Despite these mixed reviews, Urban Pantry seems to be a popular spot among locals, with a variety of seating options and a cool ambience. Overall, the cafe offers a good experience for those looking for a trendy spot in Canberra, but improvements could be made in terms of customer service and food presentation.
