"Really good Bahn mi, fresh sandwiches, good drinks selection and great service 👍"
"Over priced food ...12$ for a roast beef roll... ripped off"
"Always eat here when at hume very friendly staff very quick service good food"
5 I had a good easy experience here. Staff were friendly and accommodating, they didn't have a burger that I wanted but they were happy to make something up for me which was great. Good tasty food and coffee, and very reasonable prices. The place feels like an old style local takeaway which is hard to find these days in Canberra. I'll definitely be back in for a quick bite when I'm in the area.
5 Great food, cheap and staff were extremely enthusiastic
5 Friendly staff, best food and cheap. Tidy place. Thank you for your service.
5 Delicious chicken laksa friendly and quick service will definitely come back
5 Excellent food and service since new management has taken over. Best Beef Pie and Sausage Roll I’ve ever tasted! Chinese meals V good. Standard Aussie fare also V good. Given it’s a place I used to avoid I now can’t speak more highly off it.
5 Great coffee and breakfast burger serviced with a smile. Fast service and very reasonable pricing!
5 A good little takeaway under relatively new ownership. Hume is an industrial area so lots of tradies use this place. Sat outside on a sunny morning. Enjoyed. Has selection of food including Asian / Chinese select
