Ion Cafe & Bar

We visited the ION Cafe on a rainy Saturday. The wait staff greeted us with a smile and showed us to our table on the rear deck. The rear deck is well presented, clean and has a nice atmosphere. I noticed all of the wait staff were young which is a great thing for the local community. All were well presented and friendly. Ordering was available via an online menu or you could opt to order directly from the kitchen. We chose the online option, it was easy to use. The Mocha I order was delicious. We ordered the ION Burger with Sweet Potato Chips. It was very tasty and very filling. The reason I only gave 4 stars is the kitchen staff have to take garbage bags via the rear deck through the seated customers to exit downstairs. It was a bit off putting. I understand it is a bit nitpicky, and probably not viable or possible, but maybe in the future a new exit could be built directly off the kitchen.

As a semi regular it’s a great little cafe. Really nice food and coffee. Parking is either out the front or there is a driveway that leads to down the back with plenty of parking but other business may use this. Note for parents with prams, usally they don’t accept prams out the back on weekends due to space, they do have high chairs. But definitely ring them before hand to double check. Lunch starts at 10am and kitchen closes at 1:30pm. If you need to book, go on their website to book a day in advance. I suggest you book as they get busy. I believe it’s dog friendly but double check.
