Cafe Momo - BRUCE

I enjoyed a simple yet satisfying breakfast on a cold morning at this restaurant. The coffee was great and the new menu offered a variety of breakfast dishes, including the traditional bacon and eggs. The staff, who were all young and friendly, provided excellent service. The location was unexpected but added to the overall charm of the experience.

Wow. It's been a while since we last visited this restaurant, and we were disappointed to see how much it has deteriorated. The poached eggs were overcooked and my coffee order was forgotten about. When it finally arrived, mine was okay but my wife's was undrinkable. The lactose-free milk seemed to be sour. The toilets were dirty with unkempt sinks and light switches. The door to the men's cubicle could not even close properly. The overall appearance of the restaurant seemed uncared for. It's a shame, as this place used to be nice.

The wraps and sandwiches at this restaurant are really great, but unfortunately, their coffee is terrible. I am not the only one who feels this way. It seems like they don't know how to make a good cup of coffee, especially their iced coffee and lattes. The taste is so bad that it's almost undrinkable. The iced coffee is overly sweet, but it's a bit more tolerable than the latte. I won't be ordering coffee from here again. While their wraps are tasty, they are nothing special.

Attended this cafe at 8am. The service was quick which is great. I was incorrectly charged when I had a Vitamin water and they charged me for a powerade. Not great. I ordered the pancakes as I was going to treat myself but it was definitely not a treat. The pancakes were so dry, they fell apart when I put my fork in them, should have asked for a spoon to eat them. To add to the list the wall that I was sitting next to (table for 2 back corner) had food splashes. Yuck. So obviously they don't clean very well either. Not a great example of food in Canberra Bruce. Skip this place and go somewhere clean and where the pancakes are yummy!

Me and my partner travel to Canberra a lot with work and thought we would stop off at cafe momos on our weekend off with our dog. I went in first and had a browse at the food on display which looked rather tasty, and then noticed you had a seating area outside. I asked a friendly brunette girl behind the counter if I could sit outside with my dog and she said it was fine, so I brought him in to walk through to the outside area. The minute I’d taken one foot through the door this other girl struts over and loudly tells me that dogs aren’t allowed in the cafe. I politely said I was walking my dog to get to the outside area and she said I should go round and not through the cafe. I’ve never been to this cafe before so I had know idea there was a side exit. Anyway, my partner took the dog round to sit outside and I ordered our food and drink. We went to wait outside and I sat on one table whilst my partner took the dog for a quick walk and sat down on another table whilst the dog took a drink from the water bowl. The rude girl from earlier came out with our food and drink, all in takeaway bags and cups when I specifically said I want to eat in, and said we needed to swap switching tables as she has to sanitatize after because of ‘Covid’. This was the last straw! There has been no Covid for months! It was an excuse to get us out of the cafe, our food already packed in take out bags. We wanted to eat in and order cake after but we took our food and left. My partner told me not to say anything at the time but I had to hold my tongue. I have managed a coffee shop myself for 4 years and if a staff member was that rude to my customers they would be sacked on the spot. Will I come back? NO. It was the manner and tone of her voice and the looking down on us, probably because we are obviously not Australian and not local!! Non dog friendly cafes with rude staff don’t get my custom! Such a shame because the food and drink was lovely the only reason you get 2 stars and not one.
