Hunter & Scout Cafe

Hunter and Scout has been on my cafe list for a while now. My sister-in-law picked this place for our brunch date. This cafe has a beautiful selection of food. Farmhouse bowl is definitely a must-try. I also recommend sitting outside; it gives tropical oasis vibes and is cute for photos. • housemade granola bowl w/ seasonal fruits • sweet corn fritters + bacon • farmhouse bowl • farmhouse bowl + bacon

Really happy with our breakfast at Hunter and Scout. Super friendly, helpful and efficient staff. The decor is really nice in the outdoor section with big Balinese fans, heaps of healthy hanging plants, bamboo screening, etc. Food was tasty and well priced and the portion size was really generous. Staff were really attentive - one of the mums ordered marshmallows on the side of her hot chocolate so that she could give the marshmallows to her son. The waitress brought a couple of extra marshmallows for my kids so that they didn’t miss out. We didn’t ask for them or mention anything - she was just attentive enough to know it would make a big difference for the kiddies. Will definitely be back. Oh yes, and the coffee was great!

The food was exactly what I expected for the price I paid and it was good. Unfortunately, the taste was ruined by the service we received. Understandably, we came at a busy time and waiting was okay. However, after waiting 45 minutes you would think I would get an apology or at least a ‘hello’. What we got was a ‘this is the best we can do’. And thank god we knew what we were getting from the get go, who knows how long it would be before another server would come to our table.

Hunter & Scout, First Impressions: We really enjoyed the layout of the venue, the ambiance created and the hustle bustle was really comforting knowing that surely it's an establishment that does well in itself (it was a Sunday). We've been recommended here a lot by friends hence our visit this weekend. Venue: Great location, accessible with or without a vehicle (Right across from Graceville Train station) and the Havana/Bohemian aesthetic throughout their courtyard was stunner with plenty of shade. It'll be chilly during winter but a saviour during summer, surely. Service: The service itself was good, nothing that sets it apart but for the most part the staff that served us (Door Host and our Table Waiter) were super friendly and full of smiles. I will note, even though they had more than enough staff on it seems like most were young and not sociable or weren't aware on how to check tables from time to time so we found ourselves waiting a while before our server was back. Another note, she did forget our order initially however did compensate with Banana Bread while we waited another 40 minutes for our meals. (Good job on the damage control, we appreciated it honestly!) Food: When we received our meals, it was presented 'okay'. There was no stunner factor seeing as nowadays cafe trends are to eat with our eyes before our mouths. That being said, both meals looked the same - there was no distinguishable difference between them. After we finished what we could, honestly, we agreed our highlight was the Banana Bread we received earlier as compensation; THAT was the tastiest meal we had at Hunter & Scout today. The veggie hunter lacked flavour or a spread for the sourdough and the Spiced Mince and Wagyu beef was barely spicy, it's only saving grace was the charcoal flatbread. We're here to give an honest review for all Customers/Visitors who will come to any establishment AND we're here to provide feedback so that the business itself can receive it, acknowledge it and work on improving on where they might be faulting. We're not saying we won't come back, we just definitely hope this great place works hard on bettering themselves, their food quality and service so that we can have a change of heart and appreciate their hard work and efforts.

Great little cafe but it was a bit cold today and a breeze blew through which took away from the ambiance. Very nice food and friendly staff but it took a while to get our order taken and it took a while for our food to come out. They were super busy so it wasn't for want of trying. I'll keep on coming here when I want to impress my wife on a date.
