Wandered into Cappadonna for lunch and found heaven on earth. It has the largest collection of cakes and slices I've seen in a cafe...and the quality was as I said heavenly. I ordered a gourmet chicken sandwich and Baked New York Cheesecake and both did not dissapoint. I highly recommend those with sweet toothes to stop in and try a... More

Stopped in for some of their amazing looking cakes from the cabinet & an iced mocha. We had the Chocolate mousse cake and Mango & Pasaionfruit Cheesecake ($6 per piece) which were large slices and both lovely. The iced mocha was just fantastic, really thick & deliciously icy. Worth the $6.50 (with cream). A sprinkling of cinnamon on top was... More

Although this lunch time cafe is usually packed and it feels rush rush rush when you are waiting in line to be served, once you have managed to get a table outside, its worth the wait for a pleasant meal either from the menu or the cabinet. The portions are generous, they are helpful if you have allergies and their... More

My wife, daughter and mother-in-law had lunch outside which was nice. We had two salads, which were good and a pannani. However, the chicken in the pannini and the calamari on the salad was sparse. The pannini arrived so much faster then the salads that it had been consumed before the salads had even arrived! The meal was not inexpensive... More
