The best restaurants in Rathcoole

02/03/2025: This is the second Avoca I'm reviewing. It is sad to see the place going downhill. We still come here for food, mostly cakes. Lots of tasty things have disappeared like the lime cheesecake, lemon cheesecake, delicious almond polenta cake and most recently the swiss logs with natural dairy cream. They were great cakes with around 20% sugar. Yesterday we went, and struggled to find anything decent. Most of the cakes we saw are between 40g - 60g sugar (per 100g), which is just the cheapest ingredient. The best cake we found was the raspberry and coconut cake, which is low sugar of 21g, with natural ingredients. I wish the place could return to being a high quality place! The girl who served me at the till was surprising positive, which is rare from my experience here, so that was the highlight of the day.

22/02/2025: I actually adore the Avoca experience however i feel the price of food especially in the cafe is absolutely ludicrous, over 4 euro for a cookie! Between 6 and 8 euro59 cent for a slice of pie or a dessert is just price gouging. Yes i understand that the quality of the food is delicious but the pricing in desserts is extortionate and unreasonable.

20/10/2024: It is a lovely place to go into Happy faces from the staff

21/09/2024: Food is delicious, and the service is top notch

08/10/2024: Business is closed now. Which is unfortunate as I had a voucher for afternoon tea but it’s fine. irrelevant if google states if open or closed ur still selling voucher for a business that is closed and therefore unredeemable, it is the owners responsibility to inform living social and/or any other company that may be selling vouchers on behalf of the business that you are no longer active. Do you google every place of business you go to check if it is open or closed? Doubtful… a 1 star review is justified as to sell and voucher for something that is unredeemable is bad service. As I cannot comment on the food or atmosphere I will retract these stars, however my time spent going out to your business only to find it closed my time spend trying to get a refund(thus far unsuccessfully) is wasted and thus qualifies as poor service. I apologise if u find this review in poor taste.

30/07/2024: Great place, lovely atmosphere! The coffee and the banana bread were delicious! They also have delicious homemade sourdough breads. The service was good, too. My favourite part is the beautiful cups they serve tea and coffee in!

25/02/2025: Had a nice get together breakfast with some old friends, couldn't fault it

07/02/2025: Lovely friendly staff, food is always gorgeous, would highly recommend

18/10/2024: Cozy, tasty food and coffee!!! Highly recommend!

15/02/2025: Great spot, if I'm unapologetically honest the spicebags were unreal years ago and I used to eat them at least once of twice a week. I moved away and when I came back they changed recipe price and portion size, its Still nice but it's less food for more money and it's not at tasty unfortunately

09/02/2025: Food is always good, the prices have gone up recently and the portions have gotten smaller, I understand runni

02/03/2025: If I could give zero stars, I would. Both of us got food poisoning from the doner kebab — an absolutely awful experience. Do yourself (and your stomach) a favor and avoid this place at all costs

02/03/2025: They send food that lasts for two or three days to people and they do not send it on time and these people do not keep themselves clean or the hotel clean so please stay away from this food if anyone is worried about their health then stay away from this food because this food is not fit to eat at all

23/02/2025: I not sure if its a new chef but wow the food I ordered last night was terrible. Spicy chips with veg, requires "Spice" not salt and sugar a few slivers of onion, zero spice not a chilli in sight & no peppers. Spring rolls usually lovely, one bite & the oil spurted out. Duck hotpot was also not nice according to my partner. I want to stay a customer but the food I received will prevent me for re-ordering... such a shame 😞 If the reviews improve I might consider ordering again but you've lost a customer till then.

13/01/2025: Got the simplest of things a 3 in 1 , it was terrible
