Tried something new. Dined in for breakfast, had Bacon and Eggs and a Chicken, cheese and Avo omelette. They catered to my specific diet needs, and I really enjoyed it. Staff were high class and coffee was great. Very happy. Will be making this my regular haunt. Thanks so much guys.

Had the house pasta and added bacon to it, Absolutely beautiful. So full of flavour and cooked perfectly. The staff were lovely and attentive, and coffee was fabulous! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Will definitely be going back!

Just had THE BEST bacon and egg roll I think I have ever had in my life at Red Eye. $15.50 special including cup of coffee. Good quality bacon and eggs, great flavours, on a beautiful fresh bun. Service friendly and efficient, great range including homemade cakes and slices. Great coffee. Great spot to sit and write and watch the passing parade in Raymond Terrace through the large windows. Everything a cafe should be.

Fantastic café with plenty of options to sit. Ideal for groups (indoor and outdoor options). I was working with my laptop for a while and I found the place to be comfortable to do so. I ordered the homemade scones and they were delicious. The cream that they use is also good The coffee was well prepared and the staff was attentive and friendly. I highly recommend it!
