Utzi Espresso - Glenside

Very rude staff, no respect for customers, felt like I was being punished to be there. No respect for even children. Make sure you bring your own wet wipes and clean before you leave.

There are several good places for coffee and cake around Burnside Village, but for us, Utzi is a front runner. There is a good selection of fresh cakes and they always take good care to get my cappuccino with lots of froth just right! There are just two factors which prevent me giving 5/5 here. One is the location in the midst of a busy pedestrian throughway. This inhibits any kind of intimacy, but others may think it adds to the interest. The other factor is the lack of table service: they send you a loud signal, and you have to pick up your order. Actually I did notice a frail old lady receiving table service. Perhaps I need to cultivate my feeble aged look!!

Since this cafe changed hand about 1 year ago, the food offerings have deteriorated. Servings are now smaller and the salad sids which were quite tasty are now very bland. Still serves good coffee. But, if you are interested in a lunch snack, consider stepping around the corner to the vjne vmcovered atrium.

This cafe is in a perfect location within the Burnside Shopping complex. A great range of coffee and tea, very tasty and quick service. Very relaxing even though busy.

It is hard to miss Utzi with its plethora of tables and chairs spread across the Village mall in front of the supermarket. There is a good range of cakes and lunch items on offer, along with a variety of drinks. Our shared strawberry tart comes with two forks and one napkin: it looks wonderful, but is in fact not so fresh (we are there on a Saturday). My coffee arrives a with a wonderful high froth so that compensates. This is one of those venues where you place your order, take a seat, and then wait for the infernal buzzer to vibrate madly, so there is no table service. However, it is very popular, and often all the seats are occupied. A good destination for a cuppa.
