#dobinsonscafe

After what felt like forever trying to pick from the menu, the Pancake Delight was chosen along with the Tropical Mango and Coconut Smoothie. Within 15 minutes, food was served and what a delight the pancakes were. The smoothie had the perfect balance of sweet flavours and was lovely and refreshing. Service was impressive, food was delivered quickly and staff were extremely polite and helpful. It was no surprise that by the time we had finished our food, a large queue had grown out the sliding doors of the café, indicating that the lunch rush of customers waiting for takeaway delights had arrived.

Before leaving, it was impossible not to have a quick look at the beautiful pastries, tarts and cakes located inside the café’s doors. With an overwhelming number of creations to choose from, a banana custard tart and fruit salad flan were our choice of the day.

Overall the experience at Dobinson’s was a great one, and there is no doubt that it will become a regular choice for brunch in the city. Prices are very reasonable, servings are large, and tables are available both inside and outside. Blankets and heaters were even provided, assisting with the chilly cold Canberra morning. It is a great place for anything from a quick snack to a lazy breakfast, all in the heart of Canberra's Civic shopping precinct.
