Cherryripe - SUTTON FOREST

I absolutely love this restaurant. The coffee is delicious and the meals are flavorful and reasonably priced. Despite a newer, more trendy cafe opening up in the nearby shopping center, this place tends to be quiet and peaceful rather than bustling. I highly recommend it.

The coffee was a standout as far as my Canberra coffee experiences go. Easily one of the best. The food was good brunch fare, nothing life-changing but tasty, filling and well presented.Service wasn't *bad*, it just wasn't as fast as I would have expected given how few customers were there at the time. Tolerable, but I have to deduct a point for it.Overall, I'd come back on another lazy weekend morning because the coffee was very good. But not if I had a tight schedule to keep.

Only 2 coffee shops in Watson... Food is good and relatively well priced. Easy parking and quick turnaround time.

Attended Cherryripe on the Saturday of the long weekend. We met our two daughters there for lunch. Meal was taste, good portion size and well priced. Service was good and we had a lovely time.

I visited the restaurant on Monday for lunch with a group of six people. There were only four other customers dining in that day. The service was quick to give us menus, but it took a while for us to order. We asked for a second bottle of water, which took a long time to arrive. The meals also took a while to come out. When they did, one person in our group asked the waitress about the calamari and received a unhelpful response. They had to go to the kitchen themselves to get an answer. My fish and chips had a small portion size and the fish tasted sour. The coffee was served too hot and tasted bitter. Two of the front of house staff, especially the young woman, spent most of their time on their phones. Overall, I will not be returning to this restaurant. It seemed like the owner was not present, and I would not recommend this place. It was also very noisy due to the hard surfaces, but this is common in restaurants.
