The Banksia Tree Cafe and Restaurant

Really frustrating experience. I placed my order with the waitress for bacon and eggs (served with toast) and waited for my order. After 15 minutes, another waitress came up and asked if I would actually like to order. I advised I had ordered already and was still waiting for my food. Took close to another 10 minutes for my order to arrive. When my order did finally arrive, the bacon was burnt (I did ask for crispy bacon but this was just burnt) and also no butter was provided so I went to the counter to ask for some. This butter took another 5 minutes to arrive, so the toast was getting cold. When the butter did arrive it had clearly just come out of the fridge so was not spreadable and as the toast had cooled down, I couldn't use the heat from the toast to soften the butter. For $18 to small rashers of bacon (which did not taste pleasant), 2 fried eggs and a slice of toast, this was really overpriced and beyond disappointing. Chose this place based on the google reviews but I unfortunately didn't seem to get the same experience everyone else listed on the other reviews. Felt completely ripped off. Note: Amended review to three stars as Fabian (the owner) contacted me with a kind reply and sincere apology for my experience whilst making a fair gesture to rectify the situation. Would be prepared to try again when visiting.

Absolutely wonderful spot with a menu that supports sustainability, health local sourcing of ingredients. According to their ethos statement, they make their food with 95% South Australian ingredients, which is amazing as this means that they use a lot of seasonal produce and the ingredients they source don’t need to travel far. Really lovely staff as well. Finally, if you’re after vegan options, they’ve got your back, too. All in all, an amazing experience 😍😍

A fancy little place for a breakfast. The meals are delicious but pricey for the small servings, we walked away a little hungry. The fare is varied, from the basics to some unusual but delicious combinations. You will need to book early as the place gets packed out very quickly.

Food was beautiful and cozy atmosphere. We will definitely go back again.

This place caught out eye. It was well worth the stop. With all the Covid stuff going on we had to sit outside which wasn't too bad, and then when the kitchen closed, we were invited to come inside. It's such a special place, still maintaining that old feel. Love the ceiling fans, super nice. Coffee was excellent and the croissants, well they were amazing. Such friendly happy staff, who obviously get on well. Will make an effort to go back there to try their meals soon I hope. Well done guys.

Love the combination of textures and flavours. Very enjoyable. Just a note to those with sensitive ears to take earplugs..

A lovely Cafe with fantastic food and really friendly staff. The range of alcoholic drinks and smoothies for brunch makes it unique. The service was very good especially as it was a busy time. The food was of excellent quality and my grandson loved his baby cappuccino and kids slider. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend.

Super awesome staff and brunch. We’ve been visiting as a team from NZ. Appreciate the service and hospitality. Beautiful food

Amazing breakfast. XO crab was superb . Very friendly staff and prompt to help. Highly recommended and coming back for sure!

Staff were good , didn't have to wait long once we ordered, the food was good and there was a reasonable variety to choose from. Would have given it 5 stars for a casual eating place but I found it very noisy.
