Just Fine Food - Home of Sorrento's Famous Vanilla Slice

"Tried this place without any expectation for coffee..vanilla slice was alright, good thing was that it was not overtly sweet. Due to the crowd, we had to wait long for our order..coffee was only so so. Should probably have more staff to clear tables and serve quickly because there will always be the crowd when its Sorrento's famous slice!"

"2.3 out of 5. It didn’t work for us here, sadly. Good points first. This cafe is in a prominent position on the Main Street. It’s often busy and can be a lovely sun trap on the right day like today. The key bad point is that it’s expensive here and noticeably so. A large long black is $6.50. A small skinny flat white with an extra shot is $5. One cannoli is $8.50. We thought the coffee was ordinary. The flat white was small as mentioned and too cool when it arrived. The long black was bitter and not pleasant to drink. The cannoli was nice but it needed to be. Overall the coffees, drinks and pastry felt 20% or so overpriced. Sorrento is an expensive area and the prices factor that in. You’re essentially paying for position I think as this is the first cafe you see when you enter the town proper. My recommendation would be to venture further and try other places."

"BEWARE - OWNER STALKS YOUR REVIEW HISTORY AND PERSONALLY ATTACKS YOU WHEN YOU LEAVE NEGATIVE REVIEWS!! *****Original review**** Agree with a lot of the negative reviews! Gave it a shot and confirmed that: - vanilla slice was ok, but not the best I’ve had. - don’t bother about the food and coffee - it is overpriced for the portion and quality - tables are dirty and staff for some reason only wiped 2 of our 3 tables - I’m willing to pay the higher price for service, but we still needed to get our own water and cups Overall, disappointing experience. ******Updated review***** I have reviewed professionally. The comment that I need to see a psychiatrist is an uncalled for personal attack and shows that the owner spends considerable time trawling reviewers history. The fact that the owner is willing to go to such lengths shows who the unbalanced one is. Rather than spending time attacking customers, it would be useful if you spent it improving on areas customers are providing you feedback on."

"We got 2 cakes take-away (1$ cheaper than having on a spot) and did have it there just from a plastic container instead of a proper plate. We ordered the famous vanilla slice and a piece of cheesecake. They both were ok but probably too sweet for me and with too much butter (I could feel some small pieces of not properly mixed butter in the cheesecake)."

"I was all excited to come and try the famous vanilla slice but was quite an upsetting experience. Within 5 mins being seated, the first waitress was very attentive and helpful with our orders. We waited for 10 mins and finally received my vanilla slice which looked collapsed and tasted average. Coffee was warm... We also ordered a chicken and leek pie that arrived another 20 mins later, which you can see from the photo... It was the size of the front part of the fork ($18)with a few chips and rockets. I was surprised on how small the serve was and checked with the waitress (a different one) who confirmed that was the normal size. I started taking photos of the food and another lady (with a name badge 'Ida' ) came to check. They turned around and said it was cut in half so we could share (so there was a second one that originally the waitress took back because they accidentally cut an extra). Another 5 mins wait and The Angus beef burger was a little dry but taste ok. The restaurant looks decent but I was expecting a much better experience and bigger portions of dishes with the price tags..."
