   Food was 10/10. Steak was perfectly cooked and was very nice. Med/Rare. Burger was huge and very tasty. Jalapeño bites were very nice. Service was 10/10. Very friendly and chatty and happy to make small changes. They do first table too now so good savings. We had sides, mains and drinks.

   The food surpassed our expectations, ordered "big breakfast" and it was delicious. Chicken tender wrap was okay. Coffee was stimulating. This cafe has a spacious place and great view from upstairs ( especially morning). Cafe close to the University is a great spot for get together.

   Decent feed for $24. Seemed slightly understaffed for the busy brunch period, but the food was brought out promptly. Some ciabatta for the eggs would have been good with the Oaken Stack, although I know it's not listed in the description.

   19-3-23 Had eggs bene with salmon for the first time...salmon was fresh and tasty, sadly the eggs were over cooked, there was little holindase on the dish and it was bland, with the toast it just seemed dry and flavourless. They were super busy and we did have 14 at our table. Would be nice to have salad option or gf in cabinet. We have been here for Sunday brunch several times and the food has always been good... creamy mushrooms a favourite. Today my daughter ordered a Tropical smoothy which arrived clearly made with berries as was pink... we took it back and was told it was the tropical, so went back to our table. The lovely waitress Ursula noticed that my daughter wasn't drinking the smoothy and was instrad helping me with my iced coffee, and asked if she would like a refund we explained my daughter didn't like berries. She made her an iced coffee instead. Thank you Ursula.

   First impressions of Oaken are good but with room for improvement. Most of the tables are upstairs, so if you have trouble with these, you are probably best to go in a quiet time. There is one table downstairs and outside seating when its fine. I was served on arrival and was the only one in line at 9 am. I was quite surprised at how long it took for my order to arrive. It took 18 minutes for the tea and 25 for the food. The food was fine, but I felt like a little chutney or hollandaise would have gone well with it. I asked for a side of hollandaise, the staff member was happy to help but then carried on clearing tables before going to get it. That sounds a bit petty, but it's those little things that make you feel looked after at a hospitality venue. The atmosphere sells this place. I was left with the feeling that what they were doing was more important than serving the customer, but at the same time, they were friendly and polite. You are upstairs watching the morning traffic and leafy gardens through floor to ceiling windows. It's a nice space. I'll come back if I'm in the area.
