Husband and I were there this morning, we each had poached eggs on toast and a flat white. Excellent eggs, excellent, fluffy toast (pre-buttered! Why does no-one else do this?) and smooth, delicious coffee. Lovely, friendly waitress with a French (?) accent. Bit of a change from some places in the CBD where the staff look as if they'd rather be elsewhere and they serve little frozen cubes of butter which destroy your toast if you're not very careful. Centennial also provides a water cooler for lovely cold water, instead of those glass bottles of lukewarm water sitting around for hours. Excellent!
Great atmosphere, very chilled and relaxing place to dine. I usually get big breakfasts from cafe’s, And I can confidently hands down say, Centennial Coffee House make the ‘best’ big breakfast by a wide margin. No bland and plenty of flavour. Great coffee too.
Love the food and coffee here
My wife had the mince on toast and I had the big breakfast
Will definitely come back
It gets very busy with a few gyms in the area
Friendly staff
Great place to go for breakfast. Consistant good food, friendly and welcoming staff. Very busy place with great coffee and the hot chocolate in my opinion is the best I've had.
On arrival the cabinet food looked very good. We went for items off the menu though, roast vege salad, pancakes and bubble and squeak. Minimal interaction from staff throughout. Vege salad was pronounced very good as were the pancakes - both slightly different variation than last visit apparently. The bubble and squeak looked and smelt delicious (minus the long blonde hair sticking out) kind of lost my enthusiasm after that. Big letdown as I hardly ever go out to a 'sit down' lunch. Second one arrived and it was indeed tasty.
🙌🙌🙌 These guys know how to do an Americano!!! It's now my go to coffee place in lyall Bay. Their cabinet food is quite inviting, I couldn't say no to their caramel slice. Definitely coming back for a post gym feed!
Good was great and really good value.we had poached eggs and toast which where the best in town and only $9. My friend had a fancy version which we loved. The coffee is great and the service was excellent. Comfortable surroundings and no wait time. Convenient to pop info the many shops close by in lyall bay.
Very nice staff and accommodating. I asked for muesli and fruit which originally came in apple juice. Instead they put it in soy milk for me and made it takeaway. So nice :)
Not a bad spot. Friendly staff especially for regulars. Coffee is ok, doesn't seem strong to me but not bad and would try it again. They have an outdoor seating spot but given the location if its a good day opt for a takeaway and head to lyall bay.
Food was great, coffee was great.. Service was ok I think it would have been a nicer visit for me if they had been a little more friendly when I engaged in small talk - as a first time visitor to the coffee shop. I loved the surroundings and eclectic items and music was good.
I always appreciate somewhere that offers some different options than your stock standard brunch choices, so I had to leap at the chance to try the Centennial Coffee House’s Lebanese eggs. The halloumi, tomato and sumac all worked exceptionally well together. If this is an indication of the other items on the menu I’ll definitely be back for more.
Called in today for an early lunch, the food was absolutely 💯 delicious! Fresh, heartly, beautifully presented, the staff were warm and friendly, definitely will be back to try the other treats, thank you team, will certainly be recommending you guys to friends 😋
Great food, good atmosphere, very friendly staff
Just a bit too long to wait for the food to arrive after ordering
Lovely little cafe with exceptional service, great food and very reasonable pricing
Good food which seemed to fit the theme. A shame they didn't have everything on the menu available to order.
Cozy, relaxed spot not far from the beach. Handful of tables, a high bench, and a couple couches.
Really nice place, great breakfast and coffee, kind staff and quick service
A little pricey like most cafés but definitely worth it, had the buttermilk pancakes with bacon and banana. Absolutely recommend this place if you're wanting a lovely breakfast. Don't forget to bring your vaccine pass.
Not a bad option, as the other cafes in the area are usually really busy.
Always great coffee at Centennial Coffee House. Today I had a coffee and Centennial’s version of Eggs Benedict with spinach instead of bread. The eggs were perfectly poached, the bacon crispy and the sauce tasty.
I sat outside with my dogs and chatted with another friendly diner.
