“Terrible Manager - Cannot Recommend”

The Green Shed Coffee Roastery
Ranked #1 of 2 Quick Bites in Wilderness
Restaurant details
Reviewed 11 September 2023

While searching for a lunch spot, we witnessed a shocking incident at this café. The blonde manager was verbally abusive and disrespectful to a customer, making us both uncomfortable. This behavior was unacceptable, and we opted to grab lunch elsewhere. Our guest house host confirmed this wasn't an isolated incident.

Had a bad experience. the female manager is incredibly rude and belittling to her staff in front of everyone. Was heartbreaking to watch her treat them in this way. This is the third time I have been there and each time it was exactly the same. It ruined the good food & coffee for me, left with a sour taste. Will not be going back.

It is primarily a cake and coffee shop but does offer some savoury options all of which looked good. We just called for a nice cold drink after a long walk. You order your drinks inside and find a table whilst you wait for your order. Loved the creative use of all sorts of old stuff to decorate the place making it a quaint and at the same time quirky. It is a great place to relax and clearly and understandably very popular. Loved the laid back atmosphere.
