Just like Martha
We were welcomed kindly. It’s a lovely airy place, we have been twice before but just outside the front, although we hadn’t been for quite sometime, so a voucher from a kind person reminded us to go again.
We really liked the music and the art!
It was very quiet at 3pm (it would have been good to know there is a happy hour menu between 3-6pm) so you can’t order from the main menu but Amatiesh (I hope I spelt this correctly) very kindly worked this out for us. My fish, chips and salad were delicious and my son enjoyed his chicken and chips. The coffee and hot chocolate were great! Amatiesh was very attentive and wanted to make sure we left happy, which we did! Next time we go, we will go earlier and have a try of something off the main menu. The cabinet food looked great too! I would give it a 4/5.
We had a gift voucher with an expiry date which was a surprise. I suppose we should have checked however these days we do not expect to have only a 3 month expiry date for any gift voucher.
I emailed this restaurant/cafe on 22nd November 2024 however have yet to receive a reply from Just Like Martha’s which is why I am placing this review now . As you can see from my other reviews, I absolutely prefer to leave positive reviews.
My email to Just Like Marthas sent 22/11/24:
Hi there, we live in the Caldera Apartment complex and wanted to now use the $50 voucher Fletchers gave us when we had to move out of our apartment for the flooring to be replaced. We discovered surprisingly that the voucher has an expiry date of 18.10.24 on it which is extremely disappointing. Life has been very busy for us up and we were looking forward to using your voucher now. The voucher we were also given for Wild Wheat does not have an expiry date which is much kinder & promotes customer loyalty. We are extremely disappointed and of course will not be visiting your cafe again and will also be bringing this matter up with Fletchers & the other members of the Caldera Apartments Body Corp
Great food. Mince on toast with a twist and dukkah with the avocado delicious. Hard to please friend gave his the thumbs up. Lovely service, very accommodating of our needs.
Once again I have thoroughly enjoyed a beautiful really chocolatey, Marshmallow Hot Cocolate so beautiful it just melts in my mouth and today I had a Ham & Cheese Croissant just grilled to perfection..soft & creamy cheese & just enough Ham inside and a very light crust on the outside to a perfect crunch. Staff are lovely, friendly & helpful and offered table service even during the day. Oh and the Owner/Manager is hands on and always takes the time to say hello.
We love visiting - Just like Maratha -on weekend !! The service is commendable !! The food is yum, love when we can request for a few changes, it's definately catered too! A must do is ...take some cabinet goodies home for evening coffee- The brownie!
Can't wait to try the evening menu
Thank you for making the experience amazing eveytime we visit !! The staff are always smiling and a personnel touch woth the owner checking on you !
Beautiful food. We both had Big Breakfasts at 11.30. Pouring with rain outside but comfortable and snug inside. Thick pieces of bacon, two halves of a nice size tomato tenderly sizzled, a lovely tasting sausage, hash brown, toasty bread spread with a cheesy bechamel type sauce and two beautifully poached medium eggs topped off with a piece of home done pickly cooked onion. Would have liked two pieces of onion. (Very yummy onion). Topped off with two generous stalks of broccolini. We chose not to have the mushrooms that were included. Whole meal just the right size. We were full afterwards. Reasonably priced. Very impressed. Definitely doing this meal again. (FYI they also do a beautiful generous fish&chips).
I have been coming to this cafe for coffee and a treat for many years as part of my weekend routine. They have carried a number of very very good non gluten added cabinet items that always satisfied. Beautifull contemporary presentation with extra little touches like striped tiny meringue kisses, edible flower petals, sprigs of thyme or reeze dried fruit slices. Inexplicably over the last month or so their usually incredible slices/cakes have been replaced with very lack lustre, very cheap looking, and not great tasting alternatives that do no match up at all in any way - yet the prices continue to rise. Has the chef changed? Extremely disappointed with my purchases today. Will not be back. Luckily the coffee was still good.
Love, love, loved this place. So awesome choices on the menu! I will definitely be back to try more options. I had an absolutely delicious blended juice and the scrambled eggs. So good. Very friendly service too.
