Visited here a while back to catch up with a mate. There's ample seating available outside the cafe as well as across the street alongside the lake. This is in addition to the seating area available inside the cafe. This is quite a good arrangement (to be seated outside) when waiting for the other person to arrive or if you are running a bite late. There is parking available on the street or in the car park of the shopping complex behind the cafe. You place your order (and pay) at the front counter. The coffees and the dessert were brought out quite quickly to the table beside the lake. Nothing too special about the coffee but the orange cake was the same as the one I had at Paul's Car Wash in Nailsworth! Seems like they are using the same supplier atleast for this item. The tables by the lakeside provide a very nice view to enjoy while having your coffee. Not a bad place to have a coffee if you happen to be in the Mawson Lakes area... ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I love their coffee and food. The place gets really busy during lunch time. But you get the food within a reasonable time. They offer pizzas as well. However, the small pizza is quite expensive for the size. The vegetarian pizza I got was not that tasty. The size of the coffee is generous too. I love their panenne. The portion was good and tasty too. I would say the price is a bit high too. But given the good taste, I didn’t mind it.

I ordered a drink in the store and told them that I chose the lakeside seat. They said they would not deliver drinks to the lakeside seat and I needed to take it myself. So I waited for the drink in the store and carefully carried it across the street. As soon as I sat down, I saw the waiter serving the table next to me. I hope it's just their poor service and not discrimination because I'm not a local. The scenery by the lake is beautiful, especially in the morning when it's not busy. All in all, it's not a good idea to ask guests to cross the busy street with a drink that's about to spill.

Second time here. First time was for breakfast, and this time for brunch. I ordered Lepinja Roll, which is a bread roll with fried eggs, bacon, and tomato sauce. My friend ordered Belgian waffle with berry compote and vanilla gelato. The Lepinja Roll is nice. It's simple meal and not too filling. The waffle is also nice, and the gelato tastes like homemade. The place was quite busy and a bit noisy inside, but we managed to get an outdoor table, which is quieter.

Absolutely delicious breakfast. Just a great portion and no vegan tax at $20. The house made beans were amazing. Lots of vegan options on the menu as well as gluten free for breakfast and dinner. They also have a good selection of vegan desserts in the cabinet too. The staff were very welcoming. The place itself has a lovely view, you can sit in or out, but it's usually very busy and quite loud.

there was a hair in my food, the waffle I paid 17 for one, expected a bit more from that amount of money being paid, it is disappointing that I have a hair covered in chocolate in my food I expected more from you.

Very popular spot for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner in Mawson Lakes. Diverse menu to cater to all tastes. Lengthy wait time for our brunch and unclean tables. Unsure if short staffed or underutilised.

We had pizza for lunch and they were well below our expectations especially for that price. Both had huge pieces of just regular tomatoes on top and vegetarian pizza had uncooked crunchy vegetables on top. A hard pass for us in the future. Please see pics of pizzas attached to the review. More

Good food. Friendly and courteous staffs. Splendid atmosphere. Definitely a place where you can relax and enjoy your food.

Nailed it. Again. The lamb risotto is next level delicious. This is a recipe that someone got right and said that's it. Pizzas are always on point. Unfortunately the chicken was super salty but didn't take points as 1.it wasn't my meal and 2.my food and wine was easily a 5star.

We had a table on the waters edge... perfect day. Our waitress Mia was awesome. Food = very yummy. Prices as expected. Highly recommend

I've been here several times in the past and it has been ok, but there must be a change in management or chefs because the food has definitely improved! the customer service was good, food tasted delicious and prices were at great value for

First and last visit. Booked a table for my mother and myself for my birthday. Wanted a nice view, not a parking lot. Called to make a reservation, was told I had to do so online. Went online, too many intrusive questions to fill in. Since

The acoustics in this place are so horrible it's almost impossible to have a conversation, all the tables are crammed into next to each other. If you or someone you are having a meal with are sensitive to noise, have hearing loss, or are

The boatdeck Cafe in my opinion is hard to review. The coffee used to be bad but has now gotten good. There is heaps of seating and if your lucky enough to get a table by the lake on a nice day it's gorgeous. As for the food I find it a

So went twice this week. I went with a friend first, had the Tuscan lamb risotto which was divine! Lamb cooked rare, maybe too rare for some but perfect for me. Very generous serve. My friend had the risotto Al mare which she enjoyed as

The staff are always friendly. Great menu with reasonable prices. Even after many regular visits, I have never been disappointed. Great work to all staff and management.

Always a good place to get a bite to eat. Food is great and decent value too. Was a bit weird that half the restaurant was reserved but no one was there even empty still after we left.

Food cooked and served as it should be. More calamari is needed on the dish but overall it is amazing
