Fantastic food and atmosphere for breakfast or lunch. Indoor and outdoor seating. Bench seats, couches etc. Good selection of fresh salads and cheesecakes as well as the main menu. Recommend trying the iced coffee milkshake!

I had a few meals here. They have spacious outdoor sitting areas as well as indoor sitting area. They even provided rugs and pillows for outdoor sitting as there is a big grass area outside at the back. What a wonderful idea! The customer service was good, staff were friendly and helpful. I tried the chocolate banana smoothie with seafood basket at lunch time. It was yummy. And I had a raspberry white chocolate cheesecake, it was yummy too. The last time I went there we had a staff breakfast. I had Mint Breakfast, it had a big serve and everything in the plate was yummy. I had a berry smoothie, it was OK, couldn't taste much of the berry flavour. Overall I had good experiences here, it is a lovely cafe. They can write names/words on your coffees too, you might be surprised what they are going to write on yours.

I've been many times to this cafe and not been disappointed yet. It offers good service, drinks and the menu is great. Best chips and gravy in town, well tops my list. Staff are terrific too. Highly recommend this business.

Happy breakfast at the Mint Cafe, my partner and I have been served by Pamela, which was really kind an thoughtful, she prepared these cappuccinos with this cheerful Merry Christmas sign. Really delightful. The breaky was also really good. The guy that brought the plates was friendly and professional as well. Food was delicious! I appreciate in particular the crispy bacon and the hollandaise sauce. Really good vibes there. Highly recommend.

Gorgeous little place with plenty if seating in or outside . At the back there are tables that get morning sun and not as much wind as out the front. Great food and excellent coffee. Staff are friendly and the toilets are inside the university thus well maintained. Highly recommended place!! Salubrious out the back !
