Decolata - Summer Hill

My hubby and I sometimes drop into Decolata late on Sunday afternoons to have a late lunch. The staff are always friendly and obliging, the ambience is laid back, and most importantly, the coffee tastes great. The food is freshly prepared and reasonably priced.

This is my favorite cafe in Summer Hill. Great attentive service.They have everything you need and the courtyard is nice.

What can I say? Nice place is about it. Oh service was OK. Food? Can't even poach an egg. My first eggs came as a watery mass in the middle of the plate. So I sent them back and they returned yolks solid and the whites still liquid. The exact opposite of what I wanted! How did they know? I had the Vegetarian big breakfast which included half cooked eggs and unripe (hard) avocado. Otherwise it was not too bad. My coffee (long black) was bitter as and tasted burnt. But it was hot...And now we come to the music... Most cafes have some pretty chilled music, not here. I kept looking around for the dance floor as the incessant thump, thump of four to a bar kick drum assaulted my eardrums. I asked if we could try some other genre but the owner just looked blank and the thumping continued.Won't be going back...

Relaxing cafe, friendly service and great food / coffee. And the best part is that the kitchen is open till quite late. Great place to relax on a Sunday!

Having tried all the cafés in Summer Hill we have found Decolata to be the most friendly & we now go there on a regular basis. They make great coffee & tasty food with generous portions. Excellent value & the service is most efficient. David the café owner & the other David (who makes the coffee most of the time) & Teresa the waitress are extremely friendly & very welcoming. The café décor is in a warm vintage style & there is a pleasant, quiet & leafy courtyard at the back of the café. If you are visiting Summer Hill drop into the Decolata & enjoy the experience.
