Not going back. Waitress got our ordrers wrong three times. The kumera fritters were appallingly bad. Our chip order never made it. When asked at the paying counter as to our opinion of the food, as I was about to explain, the person began to converse with one of the waitresses giving the distinct impression he could not care less anyway. Our later tel. call to management, whilst sympathetic,resulted in a comment “what do you want” – instead of any goodwill gesture. Simply not good enough. Not going back.

Great cafe to bring children and let them scream and run around and annoy others. Cafe has a play pen in the middle of the floor where you can sit next to it and never hear a word with the person you are trying to speak to. It’s difficult to get served and the place makes you feel rushed and on edge. Never going back.

shocking service. The management here seem to have a “the customer is always wrong” approach which means that the staff can be as slack as they want and the customer is expected to just grin and bear it. what happened to the days of service, when customers were treated well?

If I only had one day to live, I would start it with breakfast at Caffe L’affare.
The atmosphere is incredible. Liz runs the place so well. The coffee is amazing & the food is perfect.
This place seems to capture everything great about the coolest little capital in the world! -

This place is slightly overrated. The coffee is always spilled by the time it arrives to your table and isn’t that good considering its an on site roasting. I feel that you can’t really relax there as it quite pushy and fast paced. The eggs Benedict i heard was one of the best so i ordered it but i was a let down. Rather small, and the eggs taste as if they were cooked in vinegar. I’m not sure if I’ll return.
