Came here after moving away to Maitland and loosing our local. Top rated for a reason. Not the cheapest around but for an extra gold coin per dish it’s more than worth it. They are also super happy to make adjustment for my diabetic partner.

Teale is terrific, and the young lady who served me gave me the best service with a smile anyone could ask for.

I would definitely give Teale Cafe and Catering a 5 star plus rating in all areas. Since the new owners have taken over recently i have been there on a number of occasions and at different times and have always found the food is excellent very delicious having tried different things on the menu well prepared and presented. The staff are all very obliging friendly and helpful even at peak times when they are very busy. Like all new business and new people taking over customers have to be prepared for change to the environment staff and especially the menu as they say a new broom sweeps clean. And while it might not please everyone especially past regular customers with the previous owners give it time and give it a go try the different things on the menu. The chefs are excellent and the new owner has had years of experience in hospitality and top cafes in the area. So if they is something you,weren't happy about on your visit to Teale Cafe don't leave negative comments on social media speak to the manager or staff. I could not recommend Teale Cafe and Catering highly enough.

This used to be my fav cafe, since it changed owners it’s gone downhill…. They changed the menu and I don’t believe the changes made are better. The big breakfast option used to be the best you got to chose/ build your own breakfast for that price. The last time we went the service was terrible, both our breakfast were dripping in oil and my husbands eggs weren’t cooked properly, instead of re-cooking the eggs all they did was flip them over. Coffee also taste different. Going to have to find a new favourite spot.

Only one word describes this place, Amazing, Amazing staff, amazing food and amazing seating area at the back. If this was in the middle of Sydney the place would be overflowing. I almost didn't want to leave a review, to keep this little secret to myself. The food was extremely tasty, very well presented and affordable. I have found my new favourite breakfast spot. Thank you so much!
