We went here for a family outing, the prices are pretty good and meal sizes are decent, we find the kids meals good value, food, drink and icecream for $9.90. We were all satifised with our meals

Located in a convenient spot in TTP if you want to go to the movies after. We had lunch here and had a very nice Yiros Pizza. The value and portion sizes are very good and the pizza was very tasty and service was quick.
Unfortunately my orange juice was bland and watery and my partners coke was flat with not a bubble of fizz to be seen.
The staff looked miserable with not a smile to be seen, they weren't friendly or helpful. When my partner asked for a straw (because the container was empty) he was pointed to the end of the bar to get his own. The looked bored and very dis-interested and looked like they didn't want to be there.
If you don't care about service, the food is quite good, unfortunately if I get bad service I don't go back.

Havent eaten there for years, but we had a steak with 3 prawns, and chips and salad plus a bottle of mineral water with a half price voucher for one meal cost us under $40 which was good, plus the meal was worth it, they did one gluten free plus I got the two bonus pancake with maple syrup and cream, cannot go wrong. Ambience busy and enjoyable.

The portions seem to be getting smaller and smaller and the prices don't seem to be changing to fit with that.
The service seems pretty slow, and when you order extras you don't always get them and you have to chase after them.

A solid 'cheap' eats.
Quick service, good lunch/dinner specials and reasonable service.
I do think they are not as good as they used to be however you get what you pay for I guess.

A good meal option at TTP whilst shopping, heading to the movies.

I used to love going to Caffe Primo, but not any more. They have turned into one of the worst places to eat. There service is shocking, they don't clear of the table until you leave, meaning when you have dessert your piling up dishes. Their tables are never wiped between customers.

As for their food. Very disappointing. They used to have reasomable quality and taste nice. Now it is generally over cooked, drenched in dressings and just no love gone into it.

I think Caffe Primo need to take a step back and look at what they are serving.

I won't be returning anytime soon unless there is some huge improvement.

As previous people have discussed, the seating is terrible, there are holes in the chairs, the ground is really messy. They have really dropped their standards since opening and since they dropped their prices. I seem to get sick every time I eat there. Caveat emptor!

The food is pretty good and served quickly. Customer service was okay, some of the girls (staffs) seemed a bit unfriendly. The tables were a little sticky. The pancakes were delicious. I would go back there to have a cheap meal and to catch up with people, but theres nothing special.

really loud and not a good venue if there are several people in the group as they seem to cook by food type rather than table so some people are left waiting ages. reasonable price for what you get.

As expected. Good cheap meal for breakfast. Seats were sticky and metal on chairs on concrete is quite annoying when people drag the seats around. Very noisey and sounds like nails on a blackboard!

When Cafe Primo first opened it was a great place to get a cheap meal. Since removing their $10 menu I feel the price versus quality for meals is certainly not worth the money. The service at Modbury is also terrible. It seems they only hire attractive young girls with huge attitude problems.

Food is always of good quality, however the service is terrible. More often than not 1 person will get their dinner & then others don't get served until alot later. defeats the purpose of going out to dinner together

We didnt even dine there,we stood at the counter for ten minutes while staff talked amongst themselves.Very disappointing :( We were actually looking forward to dining there,as I am originally from Tasmania and hadnt dined at a Cafe Primo before.We were just very very let down by the whole experience.Found it extrememly rude that the staff continued to talk amongst themselves....and one actually completely ignored my partner when he attempted to ask about ordering.

It is situated in a easy assessable place especially at the entrance to the TTP shopping mall. Service was average, prices were not so cheap but it wasnt overly busy and the tables were not crammed in.

Staff were walking around tring to find where meals were to go and my husband had nearly finished his by the time I got mine. Staff seemed confused. The meal wasn't that good either. I had a chicken pasta dish but it was mainly pasta and nothing else.
