Jet Bar Caffe

Absolutely terrible service. We went to order our food and the waitress took the menus away thinking we were done… We only had water. Food was decent. Have never been so neglected by a waitress.

A nice café with outdoor seating at the end of the Queen Victoria Building. The food was pretty good and the service was friendly.

If you are in town and looking for a place to sit and watch people, this place can be a good choice for you. I can say that it’s little bit pricey but nice place to hang out with friends. One freshly pressed apple juice was 7.80! And we found that it was quite a lot for a small cup of juice. Café latte was only 4.80 and not bad at all.

I’ve been to Jet a couple of times and I’m not sure why I keep coming back because I think the value for what you get is particularly good. It’s pricey and the coffee isn’t the best I’ve had and neither is the food. It’s convenient for the location and is good meeting spot for someone not familiar with the city. I think the best thing about this place is that that you can people watch.
The staff are sometimes friendly sometimes not and the quality of the food and drink varies too much for me. If you sit outside it is almost impossible to get the attention of the staff.

This is a great café which offers alcohol and also because of its location, its good for peoplewatchingat the Park & George St crossing too.
Recommended for a meeting place because its very centrally located, because its next to a major bus interchange at the QVB on both sides, Town Hall Station not too far away, or there is plenty of parking nearby (at the QVB or Town Hall) for those who are driving.

The location is excellent at the Town Hall end of QVB. The food was ok (good portions but under seasoned) and the service pretty slow. If you are paying by credit card I find it very ordinary that you need to queue at the counter to pay. At a cheap place no problem, but this isn’t that cheap! People trying to pay were crowding around tables and clearly getting in the way of staff as they pushed past! And most importantly, the beer needs to colder.

Best location right in centre. It is not the cheapest coffe in town but for sure one of the best location!

The coffee is good but smallish cups mean value is not so good. I’ve never eaten there but my friend whom I meet likes the banana bread, which is served with butter and syrup and looks decently thick.
Atmospherically, this is a terrific place and you should take interstate visitors there.

I first visited Sydney when I was eighteen. I went to Jet then. I didn’t think much of it. Somehow, twelve years later I still find myself here on occasion. I put it down to the location. On that note…
Good things about Jet:
— Location
— People watching
— Did I mention the location?
— Opening hours
Bad things about Jet:
— The food
— The service
— The coffee
— Everything else
But the location is pretty handy.

A group of us headed over this way after a Friday night that left more than a few of us worse for wear. We needed a place close to the station, that sold something strong enough to wake us up, fill our stomachs enough (but nothing too heavy that early in the morning), and most of all, somewhere to rest our feet. Voila! Jet Bar Café, a place convenient to us all and somewhere that we really hadn’t paid attention to until now.
Struggling to get a table to fit all of us, the waitress kindly helped make us all comfortable before the devouring began. I think they struggle a bit when it comes to catering for larger groups. Service was on and off after that — it seems they hire a lot of overseas help so I question their experience and how well they are trained.
Breakfast here was busier than I expected for a Sunday morning but all our food arrived eventually — some ten minutes after everyone else’s — which was a little annoying since everyone was so hungry. However, no real complaints here, the place and food was exactly what we were looking for.

The outside seating is for the hearty of lung only.
I headed inside initially, only to find the space a bit angular and noisy for the early morning, so decided to sit oustide at the tables under the lovely awning on the York St side of the QVB. All outside tables were plentifully supplied with ashtrays. Ok, I thought, I’ll sit at the far end on my lonesome, will avoid smokers. Ordered a juice and coffee and waited. Service was fine, but the juice when it came was unlike any blood orange I’ve ever squeezed and the expresso so ‘restricted’ it was barely a spoonful. I know the tiny expresso is trendy, but really. And a little bitter for my liking.
Before long, I was fighting off drifting carcinogens from the smokers and from the buses which stop right in front. I think they’re going for the sitting-in-St-Mark’s-square-oh-so-Italian-vibe, but really, you’re watching a bus-​stop.

If you need a coffee in a rush, head to Jet.
Jet at Sydney’s QVB, serves coffee which is reliably good, I have never had a bad coffee from them. Jet is always extremely busy, yet their service is always fast and efficient, I go for takeaway coffee which is cheap at $ 2.50 especially considering how good it is.
Also they are open until 11pm 7 days so they are are a good late night café option.

Even though I tell myself that I’ll try something different for lunch the next time I go shopping, I always find myself coming back here.
Conveniently tucked into the Queen Victoria Building, it offers a notable selection of gourmet pizzas and the wedges are delicious, even if they are a little pricey at $ 9. It goes downhill from here.
At the end of the day, the menu and wine list are quite run of the mill, the staff can be dismissive, and the place is generally crowded. I wonder what I’m doing here again.
Because of its prime location, this café will continue to secure clientele but it lacks charm. Anyone want to share some wedges next week?
