Space for strollers + coffee = the place to go for mums' meetups
Yes, the food and coffee aren't the greatest - but where else can you go with more than one stroller and not feel anxious the whole time about taking up too much space/the roaming toddler/the baby crying, etc.? It's the perfect place to come if you've got little ones - and want to meet a friend who also has kids too. The playground right next door, and lots of open space, means that your kids can generally roam & be entertained while you have a much-needed coffee. That said, I agree with higherthanexpectedcallvolumes that weekends are to be avoided - on Saturday and Sunday, the noise & ambient parental stress levels exceed safe doses! Plus, the number of kids gets so large that it interferes with line of sight - and the additional dogs also prove annoying. And I wouldn't particularly recommend for those without kids, unless you don't mind lots of little ones underfoot, as I've found the food & service unexceptional (though decent).
Don't rush to Rushcutters
The coffee was decent and the food was edible, if limited in range, however the following exchange caused me to give RBK a one star rating:
Me - "I'd like [a few other things] and a serving of peanut butter toast."
Them - "The condiments are down there [points]."
Me - "You don't put the peanut butter on the toast?"
Them - "No."
Me - "So you just toast the bread?"
Them - "Yes"
Me - "Why don't I just cook it myself?"
Them - "Why don't you? Maybe because you don't have a grill?"
Me - "Why can't you just put the peanut butter on the toast?"
Them - "We like people to choose what they want on the toast"
Me - "I have chosen. I want peanut butter."
Silence. End of conversation.
Incidentally, this is a great place to bring a small child if (a) your child likes playgrounds (b) you like being surrounded by other people with small children (c) you don't mind your child being eaten by an unleashed dog their owner thinks would never do something like that (those thoughts forming in the owner's mind between drags on their crack pipe)
You're a captive audience at the park but at least the coffee's good
I agree there's some 'tude going on here. They can also be very slow, especially at busy, kid-madness times. But the food, when it eventually arrives, is normally pretty good and it's quite decently priced (though it is totally outdoors and no frills in the seating and presentation department). Your best bet for decent service is to go during the week and avoid the mad weekend rush.
