Gloria Jean’s Coffee

Good coffee reasonable price and reasonably clean, nice atmosphere. They have a good selection of coffee and cake type things, do not know what cakes etc are like as I tend not to eat them. Service can be slow here. Also if you sit onside, you can get the smell of smoke from outside, which is okay if’ you like that, which I do not.

Every time I go here, there is always a ridiculously long wait time, even for a simple latte. And to be honest, it’s not really even worth it. I can’t even get the drink I actually like, even though the sign says order your coffee your way. When you try to order something your way, the staff says they can’t do it, and refers you to the menu, so I don’t see what the point is in saying that at all!
The last time I went here, I waited over 20 minutes for two coffees, and it wasn’t even busy. I haven’t gone back since.

I am absolutely addicted to Gloria Jean’s butter toffee, recently renamed English Toffee, coffee beans. You can of course get all sorts of coffee’s, hot and cold, from the store as well as some cakes and biscuits and stuff but my favourite and the reason I go here at all is always the take home packs of beans.
You can get any of their beans in take home packs ground just the way you need them. And its only around $ 10 for a 200gram pack ground for whatever type of machine you request. I used to still pay around $ 6 for cheap shitty coffee from the supermarket but can’t stop buying Gloria’s now.
Once they ran out of stock so I had to wait for more so I drank no coffee until I could get the good stuff from here again.
Lately I have preferred to go to Seaford after this store ran out of my usual coffee and the staff there gave me the wrong info 3 times in a row. On the 3^rd time going back when I was told it would be there I told the manager his staff should say nothing rather than telling people the wrong answer becuase it just made me more angry and they still did not have my item in stock after nearly 3 weeks as it had not even been ordered. I rang the Seaford branch and the guy there was fantastic so I went there instead. Pity becuase I quite liked the guy here at Noarlunga and he was very helpful, he was unfortunately let down by his staff’s lack of knowledge and ability to admit so. The coffee there is still great though — when they have it in stock!
