I was really disappointed as I had walked down from my hotel. I am not a big fan of hotel breakfasts.

The coffee was ok, however the poached eggs on ciabatta turned out to be over cooked eggs on sandwich bread toast.

Keep walking.

I’ve done coffees and Lunch many times and always enjoyed myself and the food. They can be busy, but the wait isn’t an issue. I’d recommend the burger for lunch, or a bowl of coffee

The food is quite nice, but incredibly overpriced for what you get.

Beautiful warm spot to catch the morning sun and I can see why it’s a popular spot with it’s floor to ceiling windows flooding the place with natural light.

Slightly let down by counter staff-member who was unfamiliar with food ingredients of sandwiches because they were ‘brought in’ (though to her credit, she didn’t want to risk incorrectly advising a patron on potential allergenic ingredients). And then she was unsure of which teas were herbal vs caffeine. So . . . some more staff training would be good.

But a very helpful guy took over to make up for it.

Went the other weekend for brunch and it a little disappointing. Our order wasn’t taken for ages. While we were still waiting for our order to be taken two coffees were brought over for us and we had to tell them they weren’t ours. At this point they obviously realised we were waiting to order and took our orders. We were put next to a really loud speaker unfortunately. When the meals came out they were good but on the stingy side. Plus at this point the waitress asked my partner if he could move all the dirty dishes left from another customer so that she could put down his plate. Thought that was a bit unprofessional. They had left so many dirty dishes including a bottle of wine from other customers. The prices are high too. Would not reccommend coming here unless you like really loud music, expensive portions, and helping staff clear up. The coffee was really weak too. We went and got another one down the road after. We overheard a lady behind us say she didn’t enjoy her coffee too.

Felix café is worth the visit for Breakfast. The service was very good. The Waiter who looked after us was friendly, competent and enjoyed some light hearted banter. He made a point of taking coffee orders early so that we were well placed for a second coffee to be delivered when the food arrived.

The rest of the experience was closer to the average mark however.

The Menu is on the more expensive side for a café breakfast and it doesn’t make it easy for you to simply order one of the classic staples. However it has some unusual highlights with my dining companion ordering the Salmon bagel which, pleasingly, comes unassembled giving you absolute control over your bagel. Finding the classic Poached Eggs, Bacon and Hash browns a little confusing to order and expensive, I ordered the pancakes with Bacon, Banana and Maple syrup.. These were superb. Quality pancakes that I was unable to finish, and a small jug of Maple syrup that never seemed to run dry no matter how much I drowned my pancakes. Our third diner elected for fresh fruit which looked well varied and tasty.

The Coffee was of a good standard, although the first cup was a little better than the second. The Tea was fine, but nothing remarkable (for great tea check out The Wellesley)

Felix gets very bright sun through the large windows in the morning and the tables are arranged along a large bench seat that runs the length of the windows. This means that one dining party gets their back to the window (which reduces the viewing pleasure), while the other gets bright sun directly in their face. Choosing a good seat that avoids this on a sunny day would be critical as it does somewhat ruin your enjoyment. Some shades that could be adjusted would be even better.

Overall, worth a visit, especially on a cloudy morning, but not a stand-out cafe. Sadly.

Went into Felix for breakfast today. It was one of the few cafes actually open on New Years day in the city, and the place was humming along. We ordered the Spanish breakfast, corn fritters and the pancakes with bacon and banana, as well as some coffees and an orange juice.
Problems: the coffee was hardly great, and the orange juice tasted as if it had been made from very old oranges. Then my pancakes came out from the kitchen with ONE rasher of bacon. And this breakfast cost $18. I asked a (friendly and helpful) staff member if one rasher was standard for the dish, and she arranged for a bit more bacon, but did not say if the one is standard, nor offer any explanation.
Service was good enough, but they need to sort out their kitchen practices if they think this is an acceptable thing to do.

We had a great meal here last week. Our main courses (Moroccan lamb salad and corn fritter stack) were delicious and service was good. There is usually a good selection of fresh counter food and reasonable coffee to go with it. It can get quite noisy in here when it’s busy (lots of hard surfaces), and sometimes cold and draughty, so don’t go expecting a quiet conversation. However, the huge windows make for great people-watching.
