Staff seem stale. I ordered a tea and scones, i got overcharged because i didn't say Devonshire tea. When questioned they said it was my fault but then bought me my $1 something and slammed it on the table next to me. Btw if it says scones that is not a scone, just saying.
I have been here quite a few times and its always the same with the staff. They seem very unhappy and unhelpful. Shame because the food is good with a nice atmosphere. Cant be bothered going anymore.
Good food, fair prices, pleasant staff, nice environment.
Great cafe, friendly service, yum food and drinks. Very kid friendly and will be back!
Nice food. Great playground for the kids. Toilets were a bit of a pain, had to get the key and then the toilets were dirty. But apart from that it was fine.
Went there for lunch. The staff were friendly, the food was tasty and the tea was nice. It had a really pleasant family atmosphere and even had toys outside for kids.
Have frequented here more than I'd prefer, but my wife likes it for the good playground.
Pros. good enclosed playground and nice spot in the nurseries.
Food and coffee aren't blowing my socks off, but are good enough to come back.
Cons. About in the expensive side for the quality you get, probably most expensive coffee in Canberra.
Staff aren't terribly enthusiastic and the Boss Mama will become anti-customer service if your ham and cheese croissant is wrong or your coffee is cold. Watch out for her. Errors seem too frequent to be accidents so it makes it really hard to enjoy and come back too soon.
+ Good playground
- Boss Mama, premium price for average food.
Beautiful garden surrounds and our kids loved the playground and Peacocks! 😍 Must address the on going issue of European Wasps though.
The café has had an excellent refurb over Christmas 2016. It still has a great family focus.
We found this hidden treasure about 5 years ago and always look forward to the friendly service and smiles. The children's outside play area is always improving and we enjoy have lunch with our adult children and grandchildren. The bird life is an added bonus and the peacocks are a childrens delight.
Quick service, fresh food, very yummy. Chips were a bit cool, but all in all, very flavoursome meal. very satisfied!
Typical cafe food, not bad. Good place to have lunch if you have toddlers with its enclosed playground next to dining areas.
It was a very cold day in Canberra and we were passing through. Stopped at Pialligo drawn there by the plants. Lunch time so we thought we would go into the Tulips cafe how wonderful, the staff were welcoming offering friendly but prompt service, the fires were warming the outside patio. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Try this little gem out and if you love plants like me there is an added bonus!! Well done the Tulips Staff you should all be very proud of yourselves we will be back when we come through Canberra next time.
