The Argentinean

Was a waste of time and petrol. Took our mothers there for Mother’s Day and turned out to be such a disappointment. My mothers toasted sandwich was pathetic. Had such little Salami and cheese she might as well have had plain toast, this is after it was brought on white bread when we ordered Rye, to top it off it wasn’t cheap. The service was shocking, the waitress wasn’t in any mood to be there. My wife asked for tomato sauce and was told they were out, a few mins later another waiter took a bottle to another table. To really top it off, the reason we took our mothers there is they advertise on the Entertainer App (I’m not cheap but in today’s economy it’s difficult). When we got there and had already ordered drinks we asked what is on the discount food wise and we were told we can’t use the app on public holidays, days like Mother’s Day, Father’s Day etc. A day we wanted to make special and was such a let-down.

I love this spot awesome coffee and a really great breakfast.

The Argentinean isn't as sleek and hip as The Whippet across the road, but it has a more chilled and no fuss sort of vibe. Plus their coffee was cheaper, which was a bonus on these chilly winter mornings. Their bakery display isn't in fancy containers but displayed quite rustically behind a glass counter. The pastries are actually really delicious. The choc croissants are large and indulgent and their pies are absolutely scrumptious. Not a bad spot for a quick take away.
