Excelsior Jones - Ashfield

Best place ever!!!!! Wish I could have their food everyday. Staff are friendly and food is delicous. I recommend this place to everyone. The new owners are especially nice and their son is an absolute gem. Always bearing a smile! Going to this cafe has become part of my daily routine because of the cheap, delicous food that I can enjoy for every meal. 5 stars

I have been going to this cafe for over 3 years and I can definitely admit that the new owners and staff improved the cafe 10 times better, very polite and friendly cafe, very good food and coffee. All over if anything this place is doing much better with the new owners. Before hand owners were never there, customer service was very bad, waitresses rude, food always delayed, customers were never looked after.

Staff/owner lied about change of ownership, it’s not the same people as it used to be! Used to be a regular here before covid, seems to have been taken over by thai or maybe Malaysian/hk partnership. Menu looks similar but totally different, made us sick and couldn’t finish. Coffee undrinkable. High speed electronic dance music played loud, staff pushy to order more, very sorry to see this place slide so far down in service and standards. Lady who seems to be a part owner/head waitress said it’s still the same owner as before, nothing changed. After eating and paying the bill the chef approached and said he’s the new owner in front of her and asked how the food is. She was pretty embarrassed/annoyed to be caught out. Wouldn’t ever eat anything here again, even the water seemed bad! Can’t imagine they’ll survivor much more than 3 months

I just want to say the staff were super friendly and helpful. They sang happy birthday to their head chef while we were there and it was a really wholesome vibe. I was really disappointed in the food and coffee though. The coffee was super bitter and not pleasant to drink which was surprising. The menu was also very confusing, we couldn't find a common cuisine and the flavours were just lacking. The serving size was decent but I wouldn't be rushed to head there any time soon.

Went there for an early lunch with my wife. I ordered the chicken burger which came with waffle cut chips. It was probably the best chicken burger i've ever had. Cooked to perfection and full of flavour. The service was also excellent. We were seated right away and didn't have to wait long for our meal after we ordered. If i could give 6 stars i would.
