Sim R Cafe - Bendigo

We absolutely recommend breakfast at this restaurant. The service, menu selection, and coffee were outstanding. We will definitely return.

I had coffee and food at this restaurant on Thursday and it was very pleasant. On Friday, I visited with a group of four people. Three of us ordered food and we all got coffee. I also bought a kebab from a nearby eatery. Despite the fact that we all ordered coffee and three of us ordered meals from the restaurant, I was asked to leave. In all my years of dining, I have never experienced such humiliation. I could have understood if we had only ordered from a different cafe, but that was not the case. Unfortunately, our young waiter was not willing to make any exceptions. This was a poor display of management and I will not be returning to this establishment.

I recently visited this restaurant and ordered some food and a drink. The food was delicious and exactly what we had ordered. When I tried their hot chocolate, I was in awe - it was like heaven in a cup! I am a huge fan of chocolate, so when I tasted their baked white chocolate cheesecake, I was blown away. I regretted not living closer so I could enjoy their amazing food and hot chocolate more often. The staff provided excellent service, even though the restaurant was busy. It was the perfect start to my Saturday morning. Thank you for making my day - I will definitely be returning!

Interestingly enough, I took a wrong turn this morning... still getting accustomed to the area and I found this cafe. Getting lost has never been so good. It's in a lovely area of the city and I pulled in before this morning to grab...a coffee. It has a lovely atmosphere and the staff were delightful. I ordered my coffee and stood. back to wait for it. They knew all of the other clientele by name... I almost felt like I was missing my piece in the puzzle...but hell... it was my first time. I will have no problem getting lost again if I find gems like this. Although, I will seek this particular gem out again. I mentioned to my co-worker when I arrived at work that I had found an excellent place for coffee that morning. So I ordered the lactose free cappuccino this morning that is my regular order anywhere... the coffee was really good. So they were winning on ambience, service, coffee... the value is average though... it's what you would expect to pay.

If it wasn’t for TripAdvisor we never would have known this cafe existed. Unappealing from the outside we probably wouldn’t have gone in if we’d seen it . That would have been such a shame. What a fabulous little place ! The menu was perfect....There was something to suit all tastes and nothing boring. Well thought out and well put together food . Delicious! Lovely staff, great service, good value, give them a try.
