Soda Cafe - NORTH BEACH

I have friends nearby so decided to check out the Sunday session; live acoustic music with nice drinks and food. West Coast drive always delivers great views including sunset. Live music was just a summer thing so went back a couple weeks later for the roast. So handy being walking distance from my friends place, as we previously had to drive north to Sorrento or south to Scarborough.

Went for mothers day so bad! We never complain or send things back but this was seriously the worst food I have had. Have been before and loved it but never again.

We used to love NBD for brunch. Extensive menu and it didn't matter what you ordered, it was all lovely. So, I was surprised to see upon dining there yesterday they have cut their menu in half. Reviews of the Eggs Benny and NBD Big Breakfast were good. The Breaky Burger looked un appetizing but tasted okay. Two of us ordered the hot cakes and struggled through them. You couldn't see the hotcakes as they were drowned underneath a wattle seed cream. We didn't receive our coffees until after we had finished breakfast which was a 40min wait (this wasn't an issue for the food, but a long time to wait for a coffee) it appeared they were more focused on dishing out take away coffees than serving the diners inside. I then learned there was a recent change of ownership so that explains a lot. What a shame, especially given their amazing view of the coastline.

I used to love this spot they had a great menu with tasty burgers and salads, but now It has gone down hill food was awful and the menu is disappointing, only thing that saved it for me was the nice coffee

Always love going to NBD after a walk . The staff are great . However , with the change of ownership the price of coffee has gone up remarkably in 1 week from $5.80 for a large lactose free flat white to $7 . Might have to rethink about where we get our post walk coffee from now on
