I would have likely given this establishment two stars, but the food is very tasty. Free Range Cafe needs to figure out the operational side of their business, and employees need to be more customer focused and obsessed. During both of my visits the staff was dancing and eating behind the counter, meanwhile there were no napkins out, utensils or even water cups and myself among other customers needed service. I would like to see this restaurant become successful, but management needs to buckle down on the operations starting from menu availability, stocking ingredients for the few items that are made available, consistent hours, and guest interaction.
Nice atmosphere and friendly, welcoming staff. I got a breakfast wrap....it was very tasty and light on the stomach...it was just cold. I ordered online and picked it up in exactly 15 minutes, but still had to wait a few minutes...therefore I'm assuming it's fresh and hot, but it was still cold. I'm sure they will improve..it's definitely worth a try.
First off, this place 100% has the potential to be a 5 star very soon. They just have a lot of things to work through - which they know. So I applaud their honesty with admitting they are still “ironing out the kinks”.
Here is my opinion:
My wife and I both had the build your own wrap. Honestly our wraps were very tasty - they just weren’t $12 tasty. I think especially as my wrap didn't even have any meat, $8-10 would be a much fairer price range.
- There weren’t many kids lunch options which I hope they fix as they flesh out their menu.
- Took >5 mins to get any water cups as they were washing them.
This all being said, the food is fresh and delicious. The staff are very friendly and you can tell they actually enjoy being there which is awesome.
Once they figure out the rate of demand etc, establish menu properly (and hopefully evaluate pricing), this place will be one of our regular go-to spots for sure.
Free range cafe is a great alternative to the super processed food that's widely available. The employees were helpful and passionate about the product and the place looked great. The good was truly phenomenal as was the hand pressed juices and homemade teas! I'd definitely give this place a try if you're in the area!
Great healthy food, with a creative twist, in a pretty and comfortable environment. I will be back to try more dishes. So many to choose from. I did ask if they had soup. They don't yet, but plan to add.
If you have young children, there is affordable kids meals and an inside play area.
