DCE Café is a cafe in The Entrance with an outdoor area. Dog access isn't confirmed, but venues with an outdoor area are often dog friendly, so it may be worth checking. Just 200m away, Memorial Park is a great nearby park for a walk with your dog.
Nice location, and a bit of live music (Saturday morning). Food quality was about average for any other cafe, but was very expensive. We spent over $35 for their brekky burger deal and 2 other drinks... and that was with the 10% discount for paying cash! Smoothie was nice, but again it was overpriced for the portion size. Staff were friendly.
Sadly, we have tried to see the best, but just can’t do it anymore. Yesterday was the last time. We must have been over 10 times now… a little weekend treat with our son, scooting and the play area, then a coffee and a bacon roll. They do a great bacon roll. Coffee is ok. But how on earth can the same order cost a different price every single time?! And it’s when you question anything that the poor customer service and attitude come out. The pricing seems to be made up on the spot. A long black coffee with caramel is about $6… so how can putting it on ice, cost another $2.90?!?!?! The iced drinks have cream, ice cream, whipped cream… Not when it’s a black coffee! But when questioned, it’s like you’re genuinely an absolute nuisance. There’s no apology, no offer of rectification, just poor attitude. We’ve given enough chances now. Will not be back, and will warn everyone else to steer clear.
Ordered a Philly cheesesteak which turned out to be a minute steak on a cheap burger bun with cheap tomato sauce and mustard. Horrible. Not even close to a philly cheesesteak. My wife ordered a chicken schnitzel with gravy, it looked and tasted microwaved. Chewy and dry. Prices were way too expensive for the cheap junk they are serving. The staff were friendly at least. You couldn't pay me to go back for the food though, probably the worst food I've ever had at a Cafe and I'm not exaggerating. Avoid this place.
Great service from wonderful staff. Fantastic food, so tasty and beautifully prepared. Excellent outdoor dining area overlooking The Entrance lakefront and beach. Good, wholesome and satisfying!
EASTER 2025: 🌞 The rain has stopped and the sun has come out, it’s quite glorious. Perfect opportunity to enjoy an egg and bacon roll with coffee #special at DCE café at The Entrance Town Centre. Perfect location from which parents can watch their kids play on the local facilities. 🛝 I don’t usually eat breakfast, I fast until after 2 pm every day. Though this egg and bacon roll and coffee deal definitely hit the spot, and was well worth breaking my daily regime for. Thanks guys! Also a 10% discount for cash.
