The Kitchen Café @ Mayfield Garden - Oberon, New South Wales

An excellent cafe with efficient friendly staff, delicious food and a warm atmosphere.
We celebrated our daughters baby shower under the covered area of the cafe, and it was a top day!
Crowds of people, but we still had plenty of space for our group.
Live music and a perfect autumn sunny day.
Highly recommend coming here!

My family and I came here on holiday and loved the gardens. We tried out their iced coffee and it was so delicious so we decided to drive 30mins the day after just to grab coffee. The day we are about to leave, we came back again on the drive back to Sydney for our 4th coffee, our 3rd visit.
I was served by a man with a shaved/ very short hair. I waited at the counter for 10mins to be served but was ignored. When I asked him if I could order with him at the counter as I had one the previous times before he said I needed to order with one of the waitresses. I then went and lined up where there were a line of ppl wanting to order. I made my order and waited for my coffee. When I finally saw him making my coffee it was literally a shot of milk, half a shot of expresso and about an inch of cream. If I was thirsty I could of had that in 1 big sip. It was about 1 inch off the rim so I asked if I could have some milk added to it. He huffed and took the coffee and added some milk.
I had cake and 2 jars of jams so I had to ask for a tray otherwise there was no way I could carry it all without dropping something.
I regret coming back on my last day coz it ruined my whole experience for the previous 2 times I came. I waited 35mins for my coffee and waited another 10mins to be served.
As I was on the way home I realised there was no ice cream in my iced coffees, though I specifically asked for ice cream and cream in my coffees. I then gave reception a call and asked if they used liquid ice cream or something and they said they used scooped ice cream and within less then 5mins there was no way it could have melted. She said she would check with the batista and call me back but I never recieved a call back.
It took me an 1hr drive round trip and 45mins of waiting for service and my coffee.
If you come on a sunny day don't expect good food and service. It's rushed and quality and serving sizes are very inconsistent.

Indoor and outdoor dining options; well set up and optimises the open space available.
Great views of the beautiful garden and decor accents.
Food prices are of great value, well presented with fine/modern inspiration. Balanced flavoured seasoning and highlights local produce ingredients.
It is well worth the drive having both the famous garden and the restaurant.

I have been to Mayfield Garden and the cafe probably more than 30 times over the last decade or so and it never ceases to amaze me with the quality of the food (locally produced) and the friendliness of the staff. The menu is small, but that's more to do with the location and the desire to keep things local and fresh. Highly recommend this cafe, best to book online first as you never know how busy it will be.

Lovely Experience at Mayfield Café
We shared the beef rib with mashed potatoes and chips — it was delicious. The chips were perfectly crispy, and everything was well prepared. We had a reservation for 12:00 but asked to change it to 1:00 as we were enjoying the gardens, and the staff were happy to accommodate us. Friendly, helpful, and informative service. Highly recommend booking ahead during busy times

It’s not just the food but also behaviour of the staff that makes up a good cafe experience.
Although the food was good, this review is not about that.
We had a very poor experience with two of the staff members.
On approaching the front of the cafe for a table, we were initially told it’s a long wait and were recommended to go to the take away line. While I and my little one was standing there, my husband went back to check if any table had gotten free, and was told to come back in 20 minutes and that she would free up a table for us.
So we go back 20 minutes later and were blatantly refused a table and were asked to get to the back of the line all over again, by the same person !

They had never mentioned “Try again” rather told us that we would be assigned a table in 20min!!
There were visibly tables available but the staff just wasn’t ready to assign one to us! She behaved very rudely and started making faces as if she was doing a favour by letting us have a table.
If you do not know how to manage the walk in queue, do not have them in the first place and make everything reserved. It’s the most basic management aspect of any restaurant.
Also please teach your staff how ones needs to behave with customers.
Do not make your customers wait unnecessarily though there are unreserved tables available , just to satisfy your whims.
