Superb macarons - we tried the sticky chewy caramel and it came out just the right texture of crisp and chewiness. Coffee's good too, if a lil strong. The ambience is very rustic and homely.

One of the worst KFC branches in town. Came here after a late furniture shopping expedition at Fyshwick and was disappointed at the taste of the chicken which was a step below most other branches around Canberra

There are few God's Cafes scattered around campus, so this review is for the branch at the Hedley Bull Centre at the corner of Liversidge St & Garran Rd. Nice cozy eatery with very hearty sandwiches. The foccacia ones are tasty.

Lil did I realize that this swanky cafe might be the gem of the building, or campus, for that matter. Food is tasty and not what you'd expect to find within university grounds. Try the tandoori chicken pizza, or the myriad of toasted sandwiches and wraps. Even the waffles are good!

Went here with a large group on a Saturday morning for brunch. The offerings were limited, but the company was good and the wait staff left us pretty much alone for most of the morning till lunch. Their desserts are a lil sweet, and the veggie omelette came out a lil dry.

The extra spicy combination laksa was satisfying on a cold winter afternoon. Their fried rice was quite good too, with enough of the "wok" taste and condiments inside it. Despite reviews, I actually think that this Civic branch is better than the Dickson one.

We'd just landed in Canberra, and were brought here by a friend. The piping hot kimchi stew was welcome. I had a sizzling pork platter which was adequate but unimpressive.

Needed a bite between movies and this seemed like a good place. Nice outdoor seating even though it's a lil chilly in winter. The creamy king prawn with butter rice was rich and comforting. Pastas were good too.

Interesting rustic ambience at this gem of a brunch place just off the beaten track. The breakfast offerings are tastier than most similar places. Drinks are pretty meh though.

A must-go for dessert-lovers and all tourists to Canberra. The chocolate offerings are creative, though a tad-small, but that just leaves room for one to order more!
