Grand Cafe Caruso

Great coffee and friendly staff, food is pretty good, fast service in a local family run coffee shop

Overall: A great place to pick up an expensive lunch bill
Grand Café Caruso used to be my favourite spot for a mochachino, it was pure pleasure — with a delicious mix of hot chocolate, espresso, freshly whipped cream and chocolate chunks. Over time, the mochachino has got weaker with the espresso and tastes purely of hot chocolate. It’s a real shame!
The last time I came here I ordered a double espresso, the base of all coffee drinks. It’s usually the saving grace for me, but sadly it wasn’t. I was asked if I would like sugar with it? Huh?
This place is a smallish-​locally owned business and it does warm lunches/​sandwiches, gelato and pastries etc, however they tend to be on the pricier side. The service is usually good and there’s plenty of seating, but it still feels bustly!
With the Westfield Centre open, my patronage falls with Costa (despite it being a franchise), sorry…
