    The cafe is set in a beautiful nursery environment. There are plenty of unusual gifts in their gift shop. Unfortunately (maybe I chose poorly) the food I chose was way too heavy on the carbs, and had almost no vegetable content. Our waitress was great. The chicken sandwich was disappointing and I could not recommend it as a menu choice. The smashed avocado has morphed into a huge meal, which is disappointing because it was a favourite which I avoided today. Simple, fresh food with vegetables (but not over the top - my daughter’s meal had a ton of purple coleslaw on it) is a better theme, especially looking at the age of many clients. Real meat rather than chicken in breadcrumbs would have worked a lot better. Bread was so thick it had to be set aside.

    My order of Chicken Sandwich? With Chips was very difficult to manage and eat. Two very very thick wedges of bread and crumbed chicken - how to tackle? Too much bread and chips I thought. I couldn’t eat it all.

    This is always a lovely spot for morning tea or lunch and we really enjoyed it all again this time. It was a bit crowded and there more tables than we are used to but we understand the need to allow for the popularity of this lovely cafe.

    Our meal was delicious. We had the seafood fettuccine. Service was a bit slow - took a while to take our order. It was busy and they could've had more wait staff on duty. Otherwise we were very happy. Never had a bad meal at Paperbark Cafe.

    The menu seemed to be more suitable to breakfast and lacked a variety of choices.
