Matinee Coffee

I have been here a few times and the food has always been good. The coffee was also quite decent and the matcha latte had a strong matcha flavour. In addition to the food and drinks, the tables were spaced out nicely to make seating comfortable, and the open layout let in a lot natural light. Discounts: Eat Club

I paid $13.40 for this ham and cheese croissant. Maybe it wasn't part of the menu and that's why it cost that much. The waiter was helping me pick something and I thought it was a normal part of their menu. I would expect a lower price for the size of the actual croissant. Other than being overpriced, OK cafe.

We came here for lunch on a weekday, and the place was really quiet. It’s got impeccable vibe and decor, and the staff was really nice and friendly. Unfortunately the food was bland, we had the salad and the fried gnocchi but both didn’t taste like much at all. Afterwards I was craving some bahn mi 🤷🏻‍♀️

Came for brunch on a Monday and it was an unpleasant experience. It was not very busy, yet took half an hour to get two coffees, brought out 10 minutes apart. The servers were low-key kind of rude, and they came up and said “do you want food” in a dismissive manner, after waiting ages for them to come and take our order. I ordered the Gnocchi Hash and it was disgusting, I wouldn’t even call it gnocchi. We had a conversation to the table next to us and they said “what is happening here”… The place is cute so I thought it would have potential but I did not enjoy this cafe at all.

I came here to check the reviews before posting to make sure it wasn’t just me. Been coming to Matinee for 5+ years, never had a bad word to say until today. Not sure if the owners changed or the chefs but I ordered something similar to what I’ve always had here and it was disgustingly greasy and generally average that I barely touched it. Zero seasoning in anything. And a bowl full of grease. Told a waiter, and his response was ‘so have you finished?’ And took it away. No one cared to ask questions, apologise, compensate. Where has good old customer service gone? When I paid I was greeted with a very frosty attitude from the barista. Quite a wait for our food too, and were one of two tables in the whole place at 8am. Disappointed to pay just under $100 for essentially a few coffees, orange juice and some scrambled egg and toast for my 4 year old. Hope this place can pick itself up again and return to an iconic brunch spot it once was, truly!
