   Overpriced for a cold brunch. Over cooked eggs and dried sausages and not so good food pairing. Destroyed the essence of an eggs Benedict and a sin to burn a brioche bread. Chez Dre’s food before was amazing and happy to pay for what it’s worth but very disappointing to come back to somewhat below average brunch.

   Was a nice time; unfortunately we were seated by the door which was a little uncomfortable with a queue of people looming over you while eating. We were hoping to book for 7, but only for 6 available. Then seated on a table that would have fitted 8. Food was good, especially the croque madame. Servers were a little slow to take second rounds of coffee, but were very helpful.

    Been here a number of times. Wait to actually get seated others a reservation was bad. Wait to actually get your food was even more silly. Staff too overwhelmed and by the time I get my Croque Monsieur it was a brick. Go somewhere else!

    Messed up our coffee orders 3 times despite waiting for more than 30 mins for it to arrive. We had to accept the final wrong coffee order as we got sick of waiting for it. Food portion that arrived was measly, we've eaten there prior a few times and were really surprised at how small the avo toast was when it was usually bigger than that. Unfortunately, never coming back again despite being a fan of Chez Dre for many many years.

    This was a new version of ChezDre which I had not been to since COVID struck. There were fewer people and fewer staff however the standard of the food was very good and all were happy with their meals. The staff were cheerful and accommodating. The speed of food preparation and delivery was excellent as was the meal presentation.

    Very average breakfast. The drink was forgotten, as was that of someone on a nearby table. At $5 for a side of avocado I was expecting smash, instead I got half an Avo whacked on the plate. The toast was cold and when I asked for butter it came out rock hard and unspreadable. The staff seemed disinterested. Overall very disappointing experience. Will not go back.

    We made a reservation for Friday late lunch but the kitchen closed at 3pm so it was a big of a rush. Perhaps open table should make bookers aware of kitchen closing times. We were the only people there, but our server would not change anything on the menu or make any subs, and failed to bring the coke my dad ordered so we go to chase it up. Disappointing because such a great ambiance.

    I feel like the meals in this place are more for Instagram than for eating. My husband's hotcake was covered in flowers and raw seeds, which while visually very pretty the texture and flavour was awful. I had the avocado on toast which was three giant, unseasoned lumps of avo, on thin, hard toast with one poached egg and no burata. My dish also had raw seeds on it. Neither of us finished our dishes. The coffee was also not good.

    Appalling service. Had to ask three times for our coffees, being told most weren’t available. They all arrived at different times. Poor staff had no idea what they were doing. We thought we’d order from the breakfast cabinet to avoid any further delays and it was still terrible. A “toasted” croissant and ciabatta that were carried through a warm room at best. Absolutely terrible. Will never return.

    We had been eyeing this cafe for some time and were really looking forward to it. But we were disappointed. Food was very basic and overpriced for what it was. Coffee was luke warm. Wait staff were disinterested even though the place was nearly empty. There is a nice outdoor area though.

    Not the same as it was. Lost its French flavour. Not good when you see pre packaged food in the window. This place is not a deli. Needs to improve.

    Having not visited for some years, this venue is shadow of its former self. The menu was pedestrian, and gone is the buzzy vibe of a french boulangerie, and with it the delectable pastries and french flair. Although the food and service were acceptable, there are other more interesting cafe options around town.

    I don't normally write reviews but I felt like I had to for this place. The food is quite tasty (the only good point) but it is a bit pricey for what I am getting compared to other places with similar food quality. I am most disappointed by the service, it is horrible. 1) I don't if it is because it is the weekend, we just got out of lockdown or the day I went the staff are all temporary and not the normal ones, but it wasn't busy when I dined there (only ⅓ of the capacity). 2) The ground staff always had their backs to us, it was hard to get hold of any of them to place an order. 3) No staff gave a damn when we accidentally spilled our drink, normally in other restaurants at least they would offer a table cloth, but even when I asked them they didn't care. I swore when this happened the baristas saw what happened since we were sitting right where they can clearly see us but they didn't even care to tell those ground staff (with their backs to us) who were at that moment all gathered around the bar/drinks area (chatting away). It felt like only one staff was working, and only that person cared to help get me a cloth, when I tried to ask for help. Also, when I wanted to order he was the only one who didn't have his back to customers and could tell the indoor staff to take our order. There was at least 3 ground staff around and most of the time all they were doing was standing around the pay area, having their backs to us and chatting away. The funny thing is I was sitting indoors and that person (who helped us both times) is responsible for the outdoor area.

    They don’t do substitutions which is annoying if you’re paying $22 for avocado on toast and don’t eat egg.
