I had a lovely experience at Hutch Cafe! The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and it was such a nice spot to enjoy breakfast and take a little break from the busy day. I really enjoyed my visit and would definitely come back again. Thank you for such a nice experience!

We had the chicken breast that came out RAW..it was awful. After that it made the rest of the dinner a poor experience. The server removed the meal from our bill. This little diner is close walking distance to our home and we wanted to try it. We won't be going back.

This was a very nice afternoon tea, with good selection of teas and tiered choices for savoury and sweet selections. The sandwiches and savoury pastries were tasty and the sizes just right, with 2 of each. The sweets were also a good selection with of course scones, cream and jam to finish. We received fresh hot water for the tea when asked and enjoyed several cups. The restaurant itself is cozy, and not too busy in the afternoon, with a lovely little nook for the tea for 2. I would go back.

Extremely disappointing given that we had made an advance booking and travelled by taxi for Sunday brunch at Hutch Cafe based on previous reviews. After some trouble with placing our order correctly we were advised that the kitchen was small, one chef was working and there were 3 orders ahead of ours. After 20 minutes we asked how much longer the food would be and were told another 20-30 minutes. We paid $40 for the drinks that the 4 of us had, cancelled the food order and walked 2 minutes up the street to a much better, more efficient and well organised alternative brunch venue.

Food was very good, had Fish & Chips and friend had Shepherds Pie While server was kind, she was not trained, not knowledgeable and left completely alone. We were literally the only 2 people when we walked into in for early dinner and she was overwhelmed. I blame management not her.
