South Society Cafe Eatery

After showing me to a table my young female waitress asked if I need more time to order. Responding in the affirmative I added that she should come back in two minutes. Returning after more than ten minutes she took my order (smashed avo) and 20 minutes later it arrived. It ought to be mentioned at this point hat three waitstaff were on the floor at this stage and less than half of the seats were occupied. Other patrons seemed dissatisfied with the speed of service, too, judging from noises and gesticulations. The food itself (including one egg and one piece of toasted bread for the cost of $19.50) was both interesting and tasty, the highlight of which was the sauteed cauliflower. Asked by the cashier whether I found everything okay I responded that everything was a big word. Whilst my waitress was outwardly pleasant I was forced to entertain the idea that speedy service with a genuine frown was probably better than slow service with a false smile.

I will never go to this cafe again. I made a booking online for Mother's Day and got a confirmation of my booking prior to arriving at the cafe. When we turned up, the manager advised us there was no booking and we had to pay a deposit to secure it. Nowhere did it say that this was a requirement. I have never dealt with such an uncaring attitude and an unwillingness to help, and then tried to tell other customers that he "didn't know what we were on about". He was rude, a liar and completely unsympathetic to our situation, nor did he care that their 3rd party booking engine didn't advise us to make a deposit. Fortunately, the competing Cafe 57 around the corner were more than happy to accommodate us and the food and service there is far better than South Society. And their coffee is terrible.

You are selling mouldy food. Disgraceful. You charge a premium for a small vanilla slice, that is old This is not good, maybe spend more time on FOOD QUALITY Seriously, if food is off throw it out dont sell it

Great little cafe. Good coffee, great menu, great customer service

The food is good (from previous experience) but customer service is far from friendly. The young lady taking our order didn't seem very knowledgeable of the menu and one of items were forgotten till they had to be reminded (we ordered three drinks only). The person who answered my call before my visit was quite rude when I mentioned we didn't have a booking and just wanted to come in for coffee. She could have said what she had to say in a more friendly manner if they weren't keen on walk ins.

Great cafe. Plenty of room inside and out for groups.

Good food, service was a bit slow but they were busy so understandable. Had the mushroom breakfast and it was great

Overpriced, terrible service. Staff were slow, ignorant and unfriendly. Wouldn't split the bill and charged credit card surcharge. 😡

First time having brunch at this place my partner, son and I all had a lovely time. I ordered the breakfast burrito, my partner had the beef burger and my son had the scrambled eggs on toast. My breakfast burrito was amazing even though I only had one bite (I was hungover). My partner ate all her burger and my son ate his eggs on toast. Reasonable prices, friendly staff there are a few things though. Working hospo for 9 years you can't help but give some tips 1. Always let you tables know roughly how long the food will take 2. Polish cutlery, hot water and white vinegar works Other then that definatly coming back.

Nice place for a brunch. Food is good. Waiters and waitresses are nice and attentive. Suitable place to have a breakfast on weekends. Big breakfast and Egg Benedict are recommended.
