What Rosemarie Auer doesn't like about Octopus's Garden:
Food quality has dropped since new ownership. The 'tradie ' used to be their benchmark product. Just had the tweaked version and it was on a very dry, tasteless bun that wouldn 't make it on the New World specials table. Same applied to their pulled pork bun. My guess is that a cafe 's buns or bread are the first things to get right. Big improvement required. View all feedback. What User likes about Octopus's Garden:
We discovered a hidden gem! If you haven't been, you're truly missing out. The atmosphere was lovely, with music playing while the sun shone, and children happily playing around. I was able to relax and savor my coffee. It's a great spot for families and dog lovers alike. I highly recommend this spacious café! View all feedback.

Amazing coffee and food. Such a great relaxed vibe in the garden. Great friendly service. I love this place. Greenies cheesy scones are to die for.

Food was delicious, friendly staff, great coffee and family friendly gardens out the back. Perfect for lunch or coffee and a sweet treat.
