Review of Bread and Water

18 John St, East Maitland NSW 2323, Australia

Overall Rating

Review


Just had an AWFUL experience at Bread and Water in Maitland. Was really chuffed to have a 100% gluten free cafe to take my coeliac daughter to whilst on our travels. Decided to ignore the less-than-friendly welcome, alarms bells rang a little when we were told they don’t serve tap water (only bottled water - ironic given the name of the cafe!), rather surprised that I couldn’t have scrambled eggs when ordering ‘eggs your way’ (only fried or poached). The real icing on the cake came when I asked for the strawberries and cream that came with the waffles to come on the side so my 5yo daughter could choose what she ate (she can be a little fussy and I didn’t want to risk her not eating the waffle if it had other stuff on it already). I was told this was not possible as it ‘messed with the creativity’. Seriously?! Not willing to adapt creativity to cater for a 5yo coeliac customer?! Suffice to say we left - indeed, the owner was encouraging us to go. Seriously disappointing and not a venue I would recommend. — at Bread and Water Cafe
