Great Space Cafe

I have been a regular here for the last 4 years. I get long black coffees so I can really taste a good coffee and the team at Great Space do a consistently good job. The staff are extremely friendly and will go that little bit extra for us regulars. I've had one of the staff come up and take my keep cup if these's a long queue so that they can make the coffee while I'm waiting. I was even allowed to stay and get my coffee when they ran a fire drill in the whole of the Great Space. Over the years I've seen staff come and go as many of them are on working holidays, but the vibe of the place has remained constantly friendly. I'm sure this is because Tina and Zac as the managers really look after their people.

The coffee is usually good, but they have messed up our food order a few times. Today, their special was coffee pancakes with grilled bananas and maple syrup. When they brought them to us, they had no banana nor maple syrup (they had icecream instead). We asked the waiter about it, and she checked with the kitchen, and returned to tell us that they were out of banana, and would we like strawberries and blueberries instead. I said yes, and they brought out a bowl with strawberries, blueberries, and banana. She said "oh, we had only one serve of banana left". A few minutes later, I looked up and noticed a bowl in the kitchen window... with two bananas in it. Not sure why they lied about the banana...

Place seems really bad. they just drop food and leave and you can keep shouting excuseme and they won't turn back. Saw it happening to 3 tables. prana chai was 4.4 on the menu but i was charged 5 and it was tasteless. I think they need to pre soak the leaves to bring out the flavour. Food , I ordered veggie sandwitch on a sourdough. Sourdough was not very convincing, pumpkin was not cooked properly. and oh man... i have a stomach pain now.... so i wanted to put the review in first and now i need to find a toilet....hope(not a good strategy but anyways) dosen't get too bad. Enjoy!!

Friendly staff, was not overly busy, but order was put through incorrectly and then didn’t arrive. I asked the servers for assistance but they were slow in coming back to me. After second attempt to ask, I was told my order was being put through new. No apology, 45 minute wait, no food. I told them not to bother and left. Plenty of other choices in same area.

Clueless - I asked for a Fruit Mince Tart (which I could clearly see in the display), and was told they had no such thing. When I pointed to what I wanted, was told it was a Chocolate Tart ... So I ordered it. Imagine my surprise when it was in fact a Fruit Mince tart, with no sign of chocolate ! They also overheated the milk in the coffee which resulted in that burnt milk taste.
