Mini Me Mango - Bundoora

The experience started with problems. The eftpos machine didn 't work, which is nobody 's fault, but my very first exchange with anyone at this cafe started with an apathetic there 's nothing I can do attitude. It got worse from there. The coffee came out, minus the hot milk I had ordered to go with it. I could have lived with that, but it means the staff don 't listen. For the brief moment I could smell it, the coffee smelled like the horrible, mediocre, watery fare typical of this entire district, having no resemblance to real espresso. I never got to taste it, because the extremely careless teenage waiter dropped it on the table precisely because he was so totally uncaring. Yes, accidents happen, but there was coffee and big chunks of broken glass everywhere, but no apology. I could have been badly cut. I went inside to get a refund but another sullen, inarticulate teenager mumbled something I couldn 't hear. Someone else had to handle the actual refund, and this person demanded that I explain myself. Still no apology. Everything about this experimental visit was a disaster. Apart from the specifics of this incident, teenagers are always useless and their presence is a bad sign in any cafe. Of course the music was too loud.

The food was decent, but the service was terrible. The waitress who attended to us was quite impolite. I won't be coming back to this place. If the management wants to keep their business going, they really need to retrain their staff and step up their customer service game.

Had the eggs benedict today and my word was it extravegant! My girlfriend got the acai bowl but she didnt like it because it wasnt real acai so thats a bummer. She told me she was lookin forward to it the whole day :

I got the peanut butter acai bowl.. It was more of a smoothie bowl than acai it had chunks of ice. Toppings were great, it just wasn’t acai. My boyfriend got a great meal tho! Def recommend getting eggs benedict with pork. I was just really looking forward to the acai, ya know? :

My friend had shared his takeaway, the chicken wrap was really good. I can tell the ingredient was fresh.
