Cafe Salt - Charlestown

We come here with my kids and their Grandma. We tend to have cake and tea/drinks. The staff are friendly and the cakes are yummy.

I stopped here yesterday and, as usual, was greeted by friendly staff that were very helpful. I use this cafe for meetings and work when I want to get out of my house for a while. The cafe itself doesn't offer WIFI but the shopping centre the cafe is located in does. The food is good quality and the coffee very good as well. I often arrive before 11 in order to take advantage of the morning specials (I'm partial to pikelets).

We understood that Mother's Day would probably be busy however other families of four came and went, we waited an hour for our food and had to ask for it to be delivered, kids pancakes were cold, our food was mediocre considering the total cost. Won't be back and probably advise others to choose a different place to eat.

We used to always love coming here. Good food, good service was welcoming and friendly. Last visit I had pumpkin soup and it was like yellow water. Certainly not $12.90 worth. Tasteless. Waited ages to be served and only about 4 couples dining. Complained about the tasteless liquid they called soup and they argued that it tasted fine to them. I had 2 mouthful and left the rest. Still made me pay for it. Thought I would give it another try. Cafe wasn't busy, 3 staff on front of house and still had to ask to be served as it looked like they really weren't interested. Will be looking for somewhere else in future.

Just the most ordinary experience possible. Ten minutes before one of the multiple waitresses made their way over to take our order and another 18 before the coffees finally were produced. They did not appear short staffed at all, as the cafe had four tables going (infusing ours) and there were at least seven staff manning the dead cafe. Wouldn't waste a half an hour waiting for another coffee there if it was free.
