Deus Cafe, Camperdown

Sometimes I wonder, how and why a cafe becomes popular when the food served are very common which you can find anywhere else? Location? marketing from mouth to mouth? Review? Maybe ...

I went to Deus Cafe last weekend. When I entered the cafe, I was surprised because the cafe was pack of people. They were under staff so we were trying to find an empty table by ourselves. We found a table in the corner, shared with other 2 ladies. I looked at the menu ... nothing is unique or different, they served the same breakfast like other cafes; such as egg benedicts, big breakfast, toast, bacon, poached egg, etc.

According to my friend, the coffee was bitter. The food was good but again nothing is extra-ordinary. The almond pastry was nice; egg benedicts sauce was good. No friendly smile or small chat from the staff, I guess they were really busy. However, the waiter who brought our food was friendly.

Love no 3, Camperdown

The name of the cafe attracts me to try this place. It's a small cafe below apartment building. I didn't expect the food would be very good but surprisingly it's not bad at all. The french toast was good but chai latte was average. I don't drink coffee so my friend ordered latte and it was good (7/10). When we went there it was busy but the staff were still very friendly and ready to answer my friend's questions.
