Beautiful spot for a meal,wine and catch up. We booked for 12 and 14 came which was not an issue for the staff, a extra table and 2 chairs were added. Food was delicious and all served hot to our large table. We were able to pay individually as they split our bill. Thank you for a lovely lunch experience we will book again xx

I visit this cafe with my cousin who lives in Campbelltown, and we love it every time. Food is lovely, atmosphere and ambience are just beautiful. This was my first visit under new ownership and you did not disappoint. Staff were very friendly, and on the ball. Art Cafe & Catering remains our No1 dining choice in the area. Thank you!

I was happy with the experience at this cafe, though the initial service was a little slow. Perhaps the new group is still adjusting. I wonder if they would consider bringing back some of the environmentally conscious practices of the previous lessees of this space.

We arrived and the staff were busy but we were acknowledge and said that they wouldn't be long - this is all one wants - to say we are busy but we know that you are there. We were placed outside but found it a bit chilly and asked if we could move inside. This was not a problem and they helped us to move inside. We were a group of 4 adults and 1 toddler with food allergies - no dairy no eggs. We were all catered for - vegan options were great for toddler. The chef and staff also thought that the toddler was GF and were concerned that vegan option that we chose had gluten - informed them that gluten was okay. We all ate something different from the big breakfast to the pancakes. Serving size was very generous and most certainly value for our hard earned money. My husband and I could have shared the Big breakfast between us. My daughter had the smashed avocado and she mentioned that the fennel chutney was such a surprise and thought it made the dish go from a 9 to a 12. My daughter is a food technology and hospitality teacher and has worked in the industry. My pancakes were yum and filling - I couldn't finish what I had. There was a really nice little crunch in one of the toppings - so nice and different from the norm. Did not get a word out of our son in-law once his meal arrived until he finished his plate - most unusable as he does like to talk. No criticism from him so I am assuming he enjoyed what he ate. Will need to return for either morning tea or lunch. This is a place that needs to be an everyones go to list for delicious food. Lovely to get a pot of tea and not just a cup of tea.

Thank you Craig & Paula at the Art Gallery Cafe for looking after us so well last Friday. We were a big group of 17 and all your staff were just wonderful, accommodating and friendly. You are doing a great job and the Cafe is in a beautiful location there adjacent to the Japanses Gardens. Great menu, food delicious and coffee perfect! Thanks again for making our day so special.

All meals were delicious except the pancakes. The pancakes were a bit disappointing as they were dry and doughy. May have been better to serve 4 thinner pancakes rather than 2 large, thick ones. The presentation was pretty but have never seen grapes served with them before, would have preferred berries. Drinks and coffees were great. Service good and our meals arrived quickly.

Now under new management, it appears from the few times I have visited, this Cafe will be very popular, especially being open 7 days a week. It was quite busy yesterday and the very pleasant and helpful waitress was under the pump. You may consider adding more staff. The very interesting and tasty menu is somewhat limited. I hope you take this as positive feedback.

It's great to see that the cafe is continuing to serve the people of the Macarthur region after Rose and family provided such a great venue, service and beautiful place to meet with friends/family. I've had a long association here and it's wonderful to be able to still enjoy the ambience the Japanese garden surrounding the Cafe provides. I wish you all well.
