    Popped in for breakfast on a very hot morning so the sea breeze and shaded verandah area was much appreciated. Staff were friendly and helpful. 3 x smashed avo with various accompaniments were all lovely. Cookie to go was really good too I'm told. Had forgot about this place but will definitely be back.

    Food was relatively good although chips were luke warm and the morning tacos weren’t as good as what they had been on previous occasions. Drinks were as usual on point and the staff were mostly polite and helpful. Although everyone seems to be busy being busy.

    I have loved the Blue Tongue Pantry for years but have been disappointed with the service on the last 2 visits. On the first of these we ordered from the table and experienced a long wait ( it was busy but felt the wait was disproportionate to the number of customers), asked a staff member to check, then had to ask again before we were told there was a 25 minute delay on orders. We received our order after 35 minutes. On the last occasion we ordered for 4 people at the counter on a quiet day. The order came one item at a time, with several minutes in between each item. My coffee was barely warm and my husband had to go to the counter, where staff were standing having a conversation, to ask for his cake. I am not keen to go back again

    The service was very slow, poor quality and disorganised. Service order was fairly random with food arriving before drinks required asking multiple times to get water, cutlery, napkins. The food was ok. Chips were overcooked and over salted. Lots of similar google reviews.

    Went for Father’s Day and it took almost an hour for food to arrive when the cafe was about 1/3 full. Neal’s came at all different times. Got an apology from the manager but it still cost quite a lot.

    My experience on Fathers Day for a table of 2 was shockingly bad, with 45 minute wait for coffee and 1 3/4 hour wait for food, with no attempt by management to communicate or alleviate the situation. My previous 2 visits also not up to the standard they used to have. Staff are mostly disinterested, not proactive. Pastries are excellent but other food has gone downhill in my opinion. My scrambled egg was not pleasant, bacon however was delicious. It's a shame because it used to be my favourite local, and the setting is lovely. I'll be thinking twice before visiting again, and four times before taking a friend. They really need better staff training and a review of their operations.
