5 stars through and through ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Beautiful and flavour-bursting food, alongside attentive and kind staff, what more could you ask for ?!!
The chicken panini was my pick-me-up after a long stressful morning. Firstly, the chicken was not dry (great thanks!) and the pesto filling had a fresh, nutty texture that I thoroughly enjoyed, enveloped in a perfectly toasted panini. The muffins and scones hit the perfect line of crumbly yet still satisfyingly dense. My regular order of hot chocolate is velvety, creamy, and never stingy with the cocoa powder. It's the little things that are the hardest to master and they do it well every single time!
I rarely give such long reviews but not many places nowadays would you be able to find staff that give you a bright and welcoming smile, and remember your order of *soy milk* hot chocolate and acing it at the same time. Even when I forgot to order my hot choc w soy milk they were patient and happy to make the drink with it. This is what makes the Good Oil Cafe so outstanding: they actually enjoy the experience of being a barista, serving food and greeting the customers every day.
"A wonderful cafe" is an understatement for how amazing the provided food, drinks, and smiles are. Please check this cafe out as there is never compromise on taste nor experience : D

We went in just couple of minutes before kitchen close but they let us order which was very nice of them.
Carrot cake was moist, not too sweet. Coffee were good. We ordered flat white and latte.
The bowl of chip was great.

Nice food and great coffee.
Staff not as welcoming as earlier visits..... which does make you think to go elsewhere.

Nice coffee. Food was a bit slow coming.Nice though.
Good location and pleasant atmosphere with good music.
A few smiles from some of the staff would make a big difference. It felt like being a customer was an inconvenience.
