Mockingbird Cafe Newcastle

Disaster…. We came for Mother’s Day and also booked a table weeks prior. For us to have the experience we did, I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone and nor would we ever come back. Firstly, our chai lattes came luke warm which isn’t a big issue but the series of events at this venue resulted them in a 2 star rating… We were told a 30 minute wait for food which is already astronomical for a cafe but we weren’t going to leave after everyone had just arrived. The wait time ended up being 50 minutes… which is absolutely insane for a cafe that wasn’t even full. Even so, it shouldn’t take this long. The food was okay, nothing special or worth it for the amount time we waited. I also had egg shells in my “mushrooms” dish which was very off putting. It’s not ok… Overall, for a cafe that isn’t cheap, the service wasn’t up to standards and nor was their food.

Great food and have knowledge around allergies as they asked if I had coeliac when I asked for gf :)
