I was a big fan of this cafe until today when I went there to have breakfast with friends.
Ordered my food through QR code where in the meal description said ‘with your choice of avocado’
Avocado wasn’t served with the plate and eggs were all dropped, asked the staff and ended up having a chat with the manager as I expected avocado in the meal and that’s why I chose that meal.
Manager didn’t own the mistake in the system and instead said I can’t have avocado and when I kindly asked I would love to have avocado as the description in the app as it was my expectation when ordering and seems there is a system error mistake. She says yes I can have it but I’ll have to pay. (For their mistake)
Won’t be coming back - staff not owning mistakes and putting it in clients not a great way to do customer service/hospitality.

The food at the Convent Bakery is brilliant. The pastries are of top quality and the setting at the Convent is quiet and peaceful, allowing you to reflect and soak in the tranquility.

This lovely cafe is set in the grounds of the historic Abbotsford Convent located just inside entry gate. Only had coffee today which was good. Beautiful array of sweet and savory snacks on offer. Service very quick, staff friendly. I recommend this place 👍👍👍

The food is really nice with a wide range of menu items. In a winter the back seating area has a fireplace on which sets the atmosphere. With a wide range of seating and parking nearby it is easy to access. The convent bakery has kind customer service.

We decided to have breakfast here before visiting the farm next door, and it was an absolute delight! I loved my eggs Benedict, the others including kids also enjoyed their meals and portions. An unexpected surprise for us was there was a farmers market on, which added some more liveliness to the area (on every second Saturday monthly, $2 entry). There's indoor dining but it's a bit old and gloomy. Loved the outdoor area though, wooden table and benches placed under very large umbrellas to provide shading from the sun in the summer. There's plenty of options for food and drinks. Reasonable pricing. We arrived close to 11am on a Saturday and both breakfast and lunch menus were available. Only paid parking available (supports both the convent and the farm though).
Price guide (as of Jan 2025):
Eggs Benedict $24.90
Chicken burger and chips $24
Kids nuggets and chips $10
Small mocha $5
Parking: weekends first 90 mins $7.50 (a dollar less on weekdays), +$2 per hour after.
Family Friendly
