    I had booked for 2 outside in my name. My friend arrived and was seated inside (very noisy) and despite my asking service staff, we only met up when she texted me after 15 mins. We ordered ricotta hotcakes, they were dry, tough, leathery. Couldn't fully eat. They had been quite good on previous occasions.

    We do enjoy the wholesome food at Two Before Ten - however, be warned that the noise levels can be excessive so don't go there if you want to have a quiet conversation with your friends.

    My friend and I were very disappointed with our salads - they was mostly quinoa with very few vegetables and a scraping of beetroot ricotta on the side of the bowl. Not a lot of value for money for $22.

    First experience here and it did not disappoint. The food was really fresh, delicious and reasonably priced. The staff were lovely and very attentive. Ensure you make a booking as it was really busy. Even though it was full, food delivery was quick and the noise level was reasonable. Will be coming back and booking a seat outside in the beautiful garden!

    I often come to Two Before Ten. The service is usually much better than it was on this day. We’d been seated a long time and we had to hail the waiter so that our order could be taken. Usually a great place to get a bite to eat though!

    Could have a more appropriate soundtrack for the early evening, as most who book for 6pm are avoiding the noise of the later times

    Good service from our waitress, busy day and quick service with really good food from the kitchen. Pretty typical of TBT standard - pretty consistent. Love the fresh food coming in from the garden. Just adds to both the ambience and the freshness on the plate. love your work guys.

    We had a nice evening. The new waitress was attentive but needed to check with others on a lot of our questions and, parts of our order were forgotten. The entrees were delicious, especially the prawns. The steak was cooked to our liking. Unfortunately it was too hot inside, there was no coffee and the choice of desserts was pretty average.

    We were a party of 3, we weren’t told of any specials. One of our party was overcharged about $8 when she checked later. When she told them about it they told her that they would refund the overcharged amount. It would’ve been nicer if they refunded her meal instead

    Two Before Ten is now my preferred coffee shop in Canberra. The ambience is terrific and I congratulate the owners on how they have been able to revitalise the old Aranda Shops. With good parking, having a coffee to catch up with friends and colleagues is now just so easy.

    I understand that it was busy but the food took a long time to come out. My friend and I arrived at 12:24, ordered 10min after we arrived and didn't receive our food till 1:30. The food itself was okay (hot cakes 2 pancakes and avocado on toast with an egg), and the coffee was good. I'm not sure if I would return for food, given the wait time but definitely for coffee. All up the pricing was standard for Canberra. Around 50 for a coffee and two dishes.

    I really appreciate the fresh 'home grown' food at Two Before Ten Aranda. The staff are mostly lovely and welcoming and happy to accomodate my little dog outside. Unfortunately it was coldon Thursday morning but the young female staff member brought my friend and I a rug to use as a wrap. I always sit outside as it gets very noisy, and mostly I drop in and have breakfast after dog walking during the week when it is quieter... Ive been twicethis week with a different friend/s, on consecutive mornings and both visits have been good. Thank you and will recommend you for the freshly picked produce in your meals.

    Cool little place and I enjoyed walking through the gardens with my children. Food was a little underwhelming however. The scotch fillet was over cooked which was such a shame as it was a good cut of meat. The charcuterie fell a little flat too. Some cucumber pickle and some dipping oil would have gave it a little more life and colour. Overall it was a nice evening and due to price and proximity to home we will likely return.

    I had the beetroot hommus plus fresh green vegies on a roll. The roll was bone dry as it had no butter which would not have mattered if there was a lot more beetroot hommus to moisten it or maybe some olive oil. I must admit I was disappointed.
