Caffe Prego

Amazing! Turned up at 2pm on a Wednesday, greeted by a lovely Czech waitress with a massive smile as I came toward the cafe, offered a table that she wiped down again for me, took my coffee and food order right away, coffee came quickly and tasted amazing…legit, in my top 5 coffees ever. While I’m waiting for my food I see her chatting nicely to the elderly customers, quickly clearing tables as people leave, checking occasionally that people aren’t “looking” for her in her service area, and my food came literally within 10mins. For some context I had originally tried to go to Chaos cafe where they wouldn’t serve me because they were closing - not even take away - but their hours say to 4pm. Chaos waitress recommended Cafe Mosman and I’m so glad I took her advice. I’m a local and I think this will be my regular from now on.

Really like the ambiance at this place, waiters were friendly even though it was quite busy. We were a bit disappointed by the food. It’s not bad, but the açai bowl was a bit minimal and the presentation was too sloppy. The salmon on the eggs Benedict was very salty, and the balance in the dish was off.

First time visiting Cafe Mosman was during the ease of COVID lockdown. I can see why the restaurant is always busy. I enjoyed a burger for lunch and the ingredients were fresh and the meat was juicy. Service was friendly and attentive and prices were pretty standard cafe prices. They have plenty of outdoor seating, but the seats do get taken pretty quick. Date of visit: 23 June 2020
