I have had to change my review for this place. The food is good, but their queuing system leaves much to be desired. The past two times I have attempted to eat here I found myself pushed out of the way by others and the staff seem oblivious to queue jumpers, mainly because the queue is all over the place. Nothing worse than standing there for ten minutes waiting to order only to find another queue has opened up beside you and your queue is no longer being served, then being told to get into the newly created queue full of people who haven’t been there for the ten minutes you have. This place needs to work on this as I for one won’t be wasting anymore time coming in here.

No competition in Eastpoint means the mgmt have a captive audience, and it shows. Queues are not managed, ordering is chaos, sandwiches are fine, but tend to be bulked out with cheap iceberg lettuce.

To add to Adams review it is very busy at lunchtimes but it does have a self service postal area just inside the entrance which is very handy as we are pretty isolated out here in Eastpoint. Wednesday market is a welcome distraction to Eastpoint and I particularly like the loyalty card in Munchies. One free for every 6 purchased. Not too shabby. Should be noted that seating is outside which is fine in the dry and summer weather not too great in the winter though.

Munchies has solidified into a lunchtime favourite — their capuccino is superior to the coffee available elsewhere and my favourite sandwich is the Toasted Monster Munchie with a little chili mayo — YUM! — plus, it’s a great name. The only real drawback is how busy it can be, but that is to be expected, and the slightly high price for these recessionary times. I’ve definitely come down on the side of it being worth it though. The Wednesday market continues to please also, the German Bratwurst and wedges with meatballs and gravy was fab(real German serving it too) if a little heavy for lunch(made me feel guilty). All in all, well worth a visit.

Very busy little grab-n-go style café located within the Eastpoint Business Park. It’s handy if you’re working around the area — they do speedy lattes, cappucinos; you name it, with the same quality as anywhere else. They have a range of options on their lunch menus; bagels, sandwiches, salads — even vegetarian-friendly options. Once you get your coffee you can add your own milk(skim or whole) and sugar(white or brown), and they’ll even stamp your loyalty card! And aside from the fact that it’s crazy busy, the staff still serve with a smile!
