Bissys Cafe

This is such a lovely place! We had a very pleasant lunch here. Nice atmosphere. Nice fresh, wholesome food with good variety in the menu. We enjoyed the steak sandwich, croissant and crepe. Nice coffee/ drinks menu. Service was good, staff/owner very friendly and helpful. I especially love the cute outdoor seating, each partitioned by greenery. There is a lovely rustic garden at the back. The cafe also has some merchandise for sale and lovely homemade jams.

So unfortunately Bissy’s Cafe only received two stars after my breakfast brunch the other day. To get started; there is a lack of table service (not uncommon for Orange), not a huge (or exciting) menu to choose from and unremarkable coffee.. Items chosen for breakfast included eggs benedict with bacon and pancakes. The eggs were cooked well but I felt the benedict sauce may have been extracted from a packet. The pancakes reminded me of reheated pikelets... I didn’t check the prices of milkshakes here so I can’t give a rant on those this time (although I feel like I’ve made up for it in other ways). The booth we sat at had a wobbly table due to not being attached to the wall and this gave me the impression the cafe was in need of some TLC. The garden out the back is nice but again requires some love. The owner did come out and say hello which was nice. I don’t like giving poor reviews but am trying to provide honest feedback from my experience. Sorry Bissy’s it’s a no from me. 🙅‍♂️

Friendly people, good food with a good variety to suit everyone. Decent sized servings. They even grow some of there produce on the premises. Plus, they make their own Kombucha and bake their own sour dough bread. There is also outdoor seating in the side garden. They also have some lovely gift items for sale. This place has a lot to offer! The only down side is I find it a little expensive

Food was fine. Only fine. Most concerning was the sense I was ripped off. Prices already high ($19 for burger and chips and $5.20 for a soft drink) but what really irked me was they charged me an extra 50cents to have the drink in the cafe! I questioned them and was told I pay more because I use their bin to dump the drink bottle once I’ve finished it. Throw in the credit card fee and it all seemed a bit over the top. But you know... the food was ok.

Totally love this family run cafe. It’s a ‘permaculture’ cafe so the food served is actually grown on site! Fiona was kind enough to give me a full tour of their amazing setup. All the food here I had was excellent. Great coffee, breakfast and brunch options at good prices. Staff are super friendly and will customise your order if you ask. A must visit if you live in Orange or stop by. I will be back!

0 stars if possible. Normally my go to cafe but I will never come back!! Upon asking for a replacement or refund for my un-edible product I was told by both the manager AND the owner “that’s what you ordered so that’s what you got” in the most undermining, condescending voice I’ve ever heard in hospitality. Owner got in my face and had no interest in customer service whatsoever and stormed away from the table without solving the problem. Left without refund and without a replacement... Very minimal COVID guidelines being followed. Very unimpressed.
