What to Expect
Maize & Mingle on Arcturus Road draws families and small groups for its open, plant-filled space and playground. George (July 2025) called it a great place for eating with kids, with “great bathrooms for changing diapers”, and Talent (July 2026) said the kids enjoyed the playground while the food held up. Debbie described a large partitioned function area strung with twinkle lights in a 2025 review.
The food itself gets consistent praise: Janine (March 2025) liked the avo bunless burger as “not as heavy as a typical burger”, and Annemarie (April 2024) had the vegetarian miso mushroom bowl, calling the portion huge though “quite rich”. Andrew (March 2024) found everything “fresh, well presented, and very tasty”. A few reviewers flag the price: Grace called the food delicious and filling “but a bit on the pricey side” in a 2025 review.
Staff are named often and warmly, including Sean, Michael, Taku, Mike, Martin and Omar across different visits. Vee (January 2026) also tried the pottery painting on offer, calling it “fun and calming”. The cafe is closed Mondays and runs 08:00 to 22:00 Thursday through Saturday.

Great place for eating with kids. They have a playground where kids can play whilst waiting for food. Great bathrooms for changing diapers.

Great tasting healthy options. The avo bunless burger was so tasty and not as heavy as a typical burger. Loved the milkshakes and the atmosphere.

Wow! What a lovely lunch for one. Great vibe, good service and lovely variety. Had the vegetarian miso mushroom bowl and it was really tasty, amazing flavours and more than enough (huge portion) to satisfy even the most hungry amongst us! 😋 Meal was quite rich though...
★★★★☆
We loved being back at this lovely venue. A great play area for kids, they partitioned off a section solely to accommodate our function as the actual seating area is very large! Very festive inside with twinkle lights.
★★★★★
Wonderful experience in this location, Sean, the young man who served our food and drinks is a keeper! Friendly, helpful, knowledgable even though he was still in training! The food..oh the food!!! Delicious meal, fresh salads... Michael at the counter was a gem too...
