My coffee is always consistent. The decaf is a good tasting brand and the almond milk heats and froths beautifully. The service is friendly and the attendents remember me and my order. The food is good too. Even some gluten free vegan muffins that are fabulous .
The best place for a coffee and quick bite in Russell Offices. Good service and quality food / beverages. Note - gets very busy at lunchtime, and due to COVID restrictions, sitting space can be a challenge if not early. A good problem.
A cafe serving cafe-style food and drink to defence personnel. One does not have to be a defence member or employee to dine here, although I don’t really understand why anyone would do so unless they worked nearby.
Coffee isn't bad, the costs for morsels of food are a bit high. Makes vending machines attractive by cost comparison.
Convenient, decent coffee, friendly staff. Caters to both healthier meals like sandwiches but also quick takeaway. Always vegan options. Bring your own mug for 10c off.
Decent place for a quick bite. Don't expect anything fancy as it hasn't turned over to a private owner yet. Oh and the lines suck.
Ok. Runs out of sandwich type food early in the day. A bit on the pricey side even for Canberra, but the choice is limited round here without losing your parking!
Love the guys here, especially the little italian Antoni and the little cute Indian lady (sorry forgot her name. Been coming here since Fiona Wright used to own it and their customer service is still the same high quality.
