Rapture Cafe - Knox

Serving up great coffee and delicious cakes, Rapture Café is the best little meeting place in Fern Tree Gully. While most of the other businesses are

This is a nice little characterful place The coffee is alright, and they have a good array of things to eat.

Know that this is a child friendly cafe, with a designated play area, and noisy rambunctious kids are running in and out of the play room. This is great for those with young children, not so great for those who want to enjoy a quite meal and coffee. Having said that, it's not a huge issue and it doesn't seem to be a constant problem. The cafe isn't located in the greatest area, next to a petrol station and opposite a cemetery, with limited parking opposite, or in the next street, but it's beautifully renovated with industrial type decor, and a lovely warmth. It has the usual cafe type fare, sandwiches, pastries, cakes etc. I've found it can be rather expensive. There is none of the pressure to leave as soon as your meal is finished, that can be an issue at some cafes. It's a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere. It's well worth a visit.

FOOD: To sum up - delicious. There were numerous options we could have gone with, and multiple vegetarian options which is always appreciated. The vege burger was excellent, full of flavour, and tasted like a real homemade pattie, not your usual potato patty deep-fried. Even the side salad was gourmet. Pricing was standard Cafe prices, and the food definitely worth it, you get what you pay for.SERVICE/STAFF: Staff were very friendly, happy to answer questions, and able to recommend different food options including their personal favourites. Food was delivered in a timely manner, hot drinks were also very prompt.ATMOSPHERE/LOCATION: Inside atmosphere was lovely, very comfortable and plenty of seating indoors which was great in the wet weather. It's right by the train station, so great for brekky for commuters, but luckily for us also had everything else nearby that we needed, including laundromat, service station and car wash. Inside, the toilets were very clean, and the kids play area would be a definite bonus for parents wanting a cuppa or lunch.EXTRAS: Inside you'll be able to purchase some local products, candles, oils, pictures, handmade bags, etc.WOULD WE RETURN: Definitely. We'd recommend it.

My partner and I went here for breakfast. We both had the eggs of different types. The place is a bustling Hive of activity with lots of pushbikers enjoying the ambience. They are often a good guide to fine food and this was no exception. Breakfast menus are often repeated so it comes down to the ingredients, the staff, and the detail. All were great. Recommended.
