Vanilla Bean and Lime Cafe - Padstow

The food at this restaurant is absolutely fantastic, and it is clear that the staff genuinely care about what they serve. The coffee is beautiful, the atmosphere is nice and never feels overcrowded, even when it is very busy. Additionally, it is conveniently located close to the station.

The service was welcoming and the food was excellent.

I went there twice and I had the chicken wrap. It’s really nice and standards are high. Prices are also reasonable. Would recommend for a relaxing weekend brunch

Vanilla Bean and Lime Cafe is a usual for me and I've never once had a bad experience. After returning today I wanted to make a review on the place. The staff are always friendly and provide excellent service. The food comes out fast and tastes fresh for the most part.<br/ <br/ Be sure to try the chicken schnitzel sandwich and strawberry thickshake if you stop by!

I've only been here once before but my memory of the place was that the food was alright, so when I found myself in the area again, I came here to try it again. Last time I was here, I ordered the big breakfast, and I thought about trying something different this time..but I was really hungry.<br/ <br/ With the big breakfast, you can choose to have the two eggs done your way, which is great as it gives you options, in case you preferred one way or don't like a particular way. It also comes with four triangles of toast as opposed to two in most other cafes, and it's very filling.<br/ <br/ Although I liked the breakfast, it wasn't anything amazing or special, and I think it was a little on the greasy side (the sausage was particularly greasy, as was the mushrooms), and afterwards, I did feel a bit heavy, and I drank a lot of water to try and ease the heavy, greasy feeling. But my friend who ordered the same as me didn't say anything about feeling greasy, so perhaps it's personal preference.<br/ <br/ I also had a peppermint tea, which really helped cut the greasy feeling too. My friend had a latte, and mentioned to me that the latte was quite good and very smooth.<br/ <br/ Overall, I like the place, it's humble and honest cafe food, without being a bit pretentious like some cafes these days.. It's also quite cheap, the big breakfast itself was only $17.50, and our total bill was $43, with two breakfasts and two drinks.<br/ <br/ TIP: if you're like me and you like your eggs done two different ways, but you don't want to annoy the chef by doing one egg one way and one egg another way, and your friend happens to order the same dish and also wants the two eggs both done differently, one of you can get your eggs done one way, and the other person gets their eggs done a different way and then when your food comes, just share the eggs so you can both have two eggs done two different ways.
