The Lokal

An excellent place for brunch. Good to make bookings in advance before heading down. Prices are a little on the high side for cafes but the portions are quite big and suitable for sharing if you're a small eater. Ordered the chicken schnitzel sandwich ($22) and it was superb! Also must try is their sticky date pudding ($10) it is not too sweet which is perfect. Shared it with 2 other girls and it was just nice.

Local eclectic cafe with home-style food makes any visit comfortable. I stopped in after a work week before the dinner crowd arrived and treated myself to a coffee plus a slice of apple cake to unwind from the office. Not too crowded in the pre-dinner period, the service was quick, my well crafted coffee and a large slice of crispy cookie arrived quickly. The home style quality of the food was evident immediately as the cookie flavor instantly transported me back to Italian biscotti, but the thinness reminded me of the almond-flavored waffle cookies my great aunt used to make and keep in tall coffee tins she would serve when we visited. Muffins were on special, but I asked the friendly staff for a recommendation, and they suggested the apple cake slice. Smooth vanilla yellow cake, with an entire layer of baked apples on top, and an aroma of rich cinnamon. The slice looked a bit large on the plate... Surprisingly i was finishing it before I realized! Definitely a place to return to for homemade eats.

Came here for late lunch. Enjoyed the hearty chicken schnitzel sandwich. My bf enjoyed his baked eggs. Food portions are decent. Our table wasn’t ready when we arrived (on time). The waitress sat us at another bigger table to wait instead of asking us to wait outside (it was so hot that day). 👍 Date of visit: 8 May 2021

SO HAPPY to have found this lovely cafe. The staff are really sweet and friendly; the ambience of the cafe is cozy and comfortable. I ordered Ricotta & Jam toast which was delicious! The homemade ricotta absolutely killed it. My friend had smoked salmon salad which was equally tasty! The latte and macchiato were as expected - not so special. If you're looking for a cute cafe to have a brunch, I recommend The Lokal.
