Reviews
"We tried Social Foundry for the first time today and it looks like it’ll be our default place to go for a gluten free midday meal when we are in the area. My wife is a coeliac, so it is critical that she avoids gluten. There were quite a few gf options and the staff were incredibly switched on in terms of dietary issues. They were a lovely young bunch and the operation is 100% free from profit with proceeds going to support local youth opportunities. For us, it’s such an obvious win/win and great to know that you’re supporting the local youth. We’ll be back for sure!"
"Two stars because the staff are very friendly and polite otherwise i would be looking for the negative stars. I was looking forward to trying a triple decker or an open souvlaki... not on the menu any more so I could have mushrooms, vegetarian something or other, a burger or something full of dairy... I don't mind paying for good food but this was not even close to good food, soggy chips and what seemed like a square processed patty of meat on a bun with lettuce, tomato, bacon and relish... all for $30 then they overcharged me for the burger my eating companion had, but they overcharged in a friendly way so maybe that should be a friendly -2 stars instead."
"Lovely cafe with tasty coffee. We love that they are also dog friendly. We had coffees and a cake and all was delicious. Staff are really nice also. Great spot for a little break after exploring the town."
"Great vibe from this eatery run by not-for-profit institution. Fantastic service and food. Highly recommended if you are in the area."
"Great social enterprise cafe with an amazing mission. You don’t have to put up with bad coffee either,the coffee and food are all top notch. The staff are really friendly efficient and helpful. There is lots of outdoor seating and the perfect spot to meet with friends on a beautiful spring day."
