πŸ‘πŸ‘ Great little cafe. Food and coffee was excellent. Awesome service...We were told the meals would take a while when we ordered which was appreciated and they gave us extra coffees for the trouble, well done!

πŸ‘ I liked it. It was a really cold day when we visited and this place was a bit of an oasis as it has inside seating. Can't say it was cheap as it wasn't. Quite nice surroundings although a little tidy up wouldn't hurt. The chicken salad I had was great. The Greek salad my brother had looked good too...

🫀 Unfortunately the 2 worst parmas I’ve ever had have been in Ballan, this one was average to say the least. One side was good despite the tasteless cheese, but the bottom wasn’t crunchy at all, it was soggy. I’m no chef but it’s really not hard to cook a schnitzel that’s crunchy on both sides. Also I...

πŸ‘πŸ‘ We've hosted our event two years in a row at Phoenix Park and cannot speak highly enough of Cam & Gillian, and the space in general. Very well ran venue with everything you need for a large group of people! We've had lots of special memories at Phoenix Park & cannot recommend it highly enough.

🫀 Ok pies (meaning they fill your stomach) - somewhat bland and dry BUT the pie crust is far too soft as if they microwave them before putting them in the warmer. Pie crusts are not meant to be soft and pliable and falling apart in your hand as you eat them. You get pretty close to the entire pie coll...

😠 The attitude from some of the staff here is NEXT LEVEL. Shopping here is virtually considered an inconvenience to them. Would be nice to be able to shop / support local without being treated like dirt.

😠 Lining up waiting to place an order and 2 people pushed in front, the staff did nothing. Man walks in after me, I’m still lining up and the staff go to serve him before myself, one of the ladies saw that I was there and yet I did not get served. So I walked out. Never have I had such bad customer se...
