What people are saying

Cake Fairy Avondale earns mixed reviews, with the food generally rated fine and the service less so. Lucius (June 2026) admitted the meat platter was “actually great and well-cooked” and the atmosphere and music were excellent, but found flies at the table and no bug candles on offer. Anotida (March 2026) called the food “average but tasty” and praised a pleasant, helpful waiter.

Missing menu items are a repeat gripe. Carol (July 2026) found ribs, milkshakes and several cocktails unavailable before lunch had even started, and was then charged for a takeaway bag, while Anotida also noted there was no milkshake or alternative milk options.

Slow service surfaces again with Pride (2025), who said “it took us nearly an hour to get served” despite booking ahead, and had chips arrive up to 20 minutes after the main meal.

3.0 / 5

“Should have give a 5 star. Though the food was good, it took us nearly an hour to get served despite the fact that we had booked in advance. Chips were served a couple of minutes later, if not 20, after the main meal was served.”

4.0 / 5

“I’ll start with the food. The food was average but tasty so no complaints. They did, however, not have milkshake or alternative milk options so that’s worth noting the service was good. I will. Waiter was very pleasant and helpful. The atmosphere. It could be slightly better.”

Anotida · March 2026

1.0 / 5

“The one at joina city didn't have most of the things on menu e.g ribs, milkshake, slush, wraps, rice and some cocktails, and this was only 12pm, before lunch time. To top it off, they demanded a 50c charge for a doggy/takeaway bag! You can do better”

Carol · July 2026

4.0 / 5

“Sunday night football in Kamfinsa. It was the only place open and the game was on 3 big screens, we ordered our drinks and then food later on. We didnt wait too long for the food and there was effort in the presentation! The game ended and the vibe picked up almost into a party.”
