I've always loved this place, great coffees, food and great service

P. Y.

This place does some good grub! Great selection of salads, sandwiches and more. Toasting is not an issue. A thoughtful menu that caters to most individuals. Staff are always lovely. Please do not be put off by the line, there is a reason for it!!!! xxx

My favourite place to go for coffee in airport precinct. Great coffee and food. I love the fresh vegiemite toast in morning. Staff are very friendly too

K. G.

Great customer service, friendly team. Quick for take away even when made fresh. Sit down dining is also good.

E. B.

Excellent quality food and coffee. Not super cheap food, its priced for a good cafe, not for an office takeaway. Casual atmosphere is good for small, non-sensitive meetings or relaxed breakfast and lunch. Quieter outside, but in Canberra that only works on the warm days. They bake every baked good they serve. Excellent service, although it's slower in peak coffee hour.

A. N.

Good coffee and great customer service. Giving 4 star as they are not generous with their serving as compared to their prices

M. L.

Great coffee, the staff are super friendly and the breakfast burrito is delicious

R. S.

I dined here for a work lunch today and found the food to be quite reasonable and tasty however the service here was outstanding. The two girls serving the back part of the restaurant were friendly, professional and attentive. The restaurant also split the bill between a group of 8, which is a luxury in Australia. Atmosphere here is a bit sterile but I would eat here again.

B. P.

Great place for a meet for breaky, brunch or lunch. Great menu, coffee and service.

K. E.

Nice coffee, tasty options for lunch.

B. M.

Service is top notch food was awesome coffee bang on also what more could you want. Just wish I worked at brindabella park and could visit a bit more often.

Hey, just noticed we can leave a review on this website. Had a wedding reception here a few years ago and it was FANTASTIC. It was a ''guests from all over Australia" wedding, and some very high end foodie sort of people. They loved it. Loved the food, loved the ambience. As they should. The food was spectacular. Yum yum. Chris and the team went out of their way to make it a great occasion and were inventive in putting the venue together in a way that matched the smart casual vibe.

T. J.

Excellent service and a great range of food and coffee. Quality is consistently high.

P. M.

Excellent meal and fun team. Don't go right on midday as extremely busy but fine after 1:00 pm

N. S.

Food was beautiful, good choices on menu, reasonably priced. Friendly helpful staff. They do tend to run out of some of their menu items though. Would highly recommend

B. F.

Delicious coffee and very quick! Always packed but they get through the lines quickly. The food is delicious!! Try the hash browns they will blow your mind.

H. S.

The place has a nice ambience and really friendly staff, but the menu on their website did not match the menu they had in the cafe. Options for vegetarians are limited although they try to accomodate the dietary requirement. I ordered a vegetarian version of the chorizo gnocci they had on the specials board. Instead I got something completely different with the only common ingredient being the Napolitana sauce. Clearly the staff member did not understand my order and got me something she thought I wanted. The dish wasn't the best and I needed to order additional condiments to make the flavors work for me.

C. D.

Best eatery in the complex.. which is a low bar of achievement but the food is actually pretty good and the decor etc means you can hear everyone else except when it gets manically busy. They managed to spill a drink on the guy I was dining with and paid for his dry cleaning and comp'ed his meal which was good service.

P. C.

Nice peppermint tea (with real leaves, not those fake tea bag leaves) and a mouthwatering selection of food on the menu - will definitely be back to test out some of their winter specials. Can get very busy - especially during the office morning coffee rush, so go later in the day if you want a table and opportunity to actually hear conversation.

M. K.

Great customer service. Good food & coffee, will definitely visit again!

d. p.

Came here for lunch. Good food , great coffee, good atmosphere. Had a Caesar salad with chicken.

T. S.

Best coffee in the Brindabella Park precinct. Good food which is well priced and lots of it. I often get the Calamari and can never finish it without help. Great service too.

A. C.

Coffee is pretty good compared to other cafe (during busy period). Their price is slightly higher. Friendly and great service by their staff.

K. L.

Coffee is average, but the service is great. Staff are friendly without being overbearing. Great for an out of office catchup or informal meeting

J. H.

Love the Goanna. If you are inthe airport precinct it's worth the effort to find this charming spot

T. S.

Good food, great coffee, friendly quick service.

A. B.

Great coffee! Food tries to be 'too fancy' and looses quality somehow in the process... Doesn't lose the high price tags though.

Q. A.

Nice place for breakfast and coffe

M. O.

Would love to see more fresh juice choices.The meals are great but a tad expensive...

A. H.

Can't rate these guys high enough for service, speed and quality

M. D.

I found the coffee overpriced and on the weak side. Much better options in the area. The food is also OK, but not much to write home about.

S. K.

I had the crispy skin barra with mango salad & it was delicious, one of the best I've ever had. Well done Fat Goanna, highly recommended

C. H.

The raisin toast was more like brioche. The mug of coffee only had one shot. Nice but not special.

P. E.

The Fat Goanna is an "institution" for those working at Brindabella Park. The food is honest, and there are regular specials apart from the printed menu.

C. G.

Excellent service, good value food and quality, they have some great specials and are very friendly.

N. C.

Great menu options! A nice place to have lunch in winter, but be sure to book ahead, it can get quite crowded.

n. r.

Great coffee, well priced and gets busy.

Three letters: BLT. One of the best I've had. Staff are super friendly. Can be a little slow during pay day.
