⚡ HIGH STAKES ⚡

Good food, hygiene's had some notes. Probably fine.

The food's genuinely great and the hygiene issues are "Improvement Necessary" — not catastrophic. Worth a punt if you're not a germaphobe.

Cozy cafe with some hits and misses

The Tasting Room is the kind of spot that leaves you a bit torn. It boasts a 3/5 hygiene score and a 4.6-star Google rating, which means there’s a bit of a mixed bag happening here. Lauren and M C H loved their brunch, with the veggie breakfast and granola bowl hitting the right notes, but don't get too cozy. Phil Gibbons raves about the sausage rolls, but others have raised eyebrows over the inconsistent food quality.

It’s great for a catch-up with friends, but you might want to keep your expectations in check. The atmosphere is cozy and the staff are friendly, yet it could do with a menu refresh to keep it exciting. If you’re in the area, swing by, but be ready for a few highs and lows.
