Ordered a long black to go. I was charged $4.50, the price of their cappas and flat whites. It took about 15 minutes, then I got it and walked to my office. Long blacks are just hot water and espresso – so it usually takes another 15 mins before I can drink it. So when I do take a sip when I get back to work, it’s a crap flat white, not just a flat white, but a crap flat white. So I walk all the way back and ask them what a long black is, they tell me, so I tell them to make it and show them what I received. The girl giggles and says “You got a flat white!”, without offering apology or anything – she just laughs at me.
So I am waiting for them to remake it and I ask if they always charge $4.50 for a long black to go, they say yes and I tell them they’re the most expensive in the city. She has the gall to tell me “Probably the best in the city too!”… really? after sh*tty coffee, sh*tty service, sh*tty prices, YOU are the best in the city?
Me thinks not. If Zoo keepers wasn’t shut this never would have happened.

I have repeatedly beat the staff over and over and they know not to laugh any more! I remember the day you came in and found out after what had happened, I am sorry and hope you enjoy your coffees from Zoo-keepers they are very good.

I went here for lunch and ordered the blue cod. It said on the menu fresh but by this it must have meant fresh from the freezer because it was anything but, definitly some of the worst blue cod I’ve tried. However the chips and the salad were nice and it was cooked quick.

My partner and I had a Saturday morning breakfast at the Tuatara a few weeks ago. The service was very good, the food was lovely, well cooked, hot and served in good time. Would definately go back.
