Don't know what your talking about Mathew, but I go to this cafe regularly. It's the best family owned and run cafe on the Gold Coast. Great customer service lovely food, I have always seen fantastic customer service. Always lovely smiles on the workers faces. I would not go any where else. Always made to feel welcome. Good job lovely ladies, keep up the good work. You guys do a wonderful job.

It was 6am at work and I was unloading a 40ft container. After the container is half way unloaded, we stop for a break with a delivery from Cafe Molendinar. An egg and bacon roll. I am usually not a fan of egg in between any type of bread (like it on my toast), but this was the best breakfast I have had in a long time. Now, some may think, it tasted so good, because I was working hard and hungry. I thought so too, until today. I ordered a delivery to work, a burger combo. It was very good. The gent who delivered it (can't pronounce the name, but legend) was polite, friendly and great customer service. Highly recommend these guys. Thanks

Was a nice snack on the run. Good quick service and better than a service station on the highway, so we were happy. Parking is also easy.

Hands down, best smoko shop on the coast!! The food is fresh, delicious and not overpriced, where else can you get a freshly made works burger combo for under $15?? Nowhere!! Service is excellent, staff are very friendly. I would give 10 stars if I could.
