Ortem

I had high expectations from ortem obviously coz i drive pass daily n see lots of people dining in. Service was really good n staff were very hospitable. Strawberry cake was out of the world. It was so rich in flavour n definitely a must try dessert. Steak was also nice. But, the main dissatisfaction was with coffee. I ordered long black triple shot. Maybe its ortem coffee which is dark roast. I always drink long black. But, I found theirs was kinda dark roast so i couldn’t enjoy it though it looks really amazing n definitely made by very skilled barista with great crema on top. Besides, the salmon dish which i was really excited about was visibly appealing n looked really nice but not cooked properly leaving the salmon uncooked n raw. It looked properly grilled from outside but was raw inside. However, the atmosphere was really nice n staff were very attentive.

First time coming here with my partner and it was the best, amazing pancakes to satisfy my stomach. Nice staff that will serve you with a smile and see if you need anything else before leaving your table. Definitely coming here again.

Great little cafe to enjoy breakfast or lunch. We visited for breakfast and were greeted immediately before being shown to an empty table. After ordering, our drinks took about 10min to arrive, and the meals about 20min, which seemed very reasonable. All meals were good sized and value for money, we spent about $30 per person for a drink and meal. Service was very friendly. The atmosphere was a little loud once the cafe filled up, but it's to be expected, and didn't personally impact our conversation.

I loved my breakfast at Ortem. Our coffees were made to perfection. The staff were all happy and had a lovely attentive service style. Well done Ortem! It’s so hard to find a good cafe that you feel happy and satisfied with your meal and service.

Absolutely gorgeous little cafe, very friendly staff, really delicious food. Got both their specials and they were very yummy and beautifully presented. Good coffee too

Beny with halloumi: Hollandaise was the star. Open shawarma: great flavours, lamb kinda dry.

Been here quite a few times now coming from out of town. Food is always amazing and service is wonderful even when it's busier.

Visited there in a Sunday morning and food was excellent and Loved their service. I enjoyed their Bene and it was yummy. Poached eggs were excellent and in perfect balanced texture. It was crowded a little bit but got the coffees first within a couple minutes. Lovely helpful team and a little bit busy environment. Street parking available.Highly recommend.

Day two and the lovely guys remembered my coffee order, opened the door for me and obliged another 'primal' mismatch for breakfast. I really love this place and clearly the staff love what they do too.

Service - the cafe wasn't excessively busy when we arrived, so even though we had reserved a table, we were able to move. Once situated our drink orders were taken relatively quickly. It took quite a bit of time for our food orders to be taken. The staff are very friendly and have wonderful attitudes. Drinks - the coffee was okay. Tasted good but could have been hotter. THE JUICE IS THE BEST JUICE IN TOOWOOMBA! Food - the presentation was great. The food was colourful and looked extremely tasty. However, they used too much vinegar when poaching the eggs and the rest of the food tasted rather bland.

With ingredients wonderfully fresh and coffee made with expert skill, we've found each visit to Ortem to be relaxing and peaceful. The friendly table service is just the tip of the iceberg for a genuinely enjoyable late breakfast my wife and I enjoy often.

The first time I went here, i absolutely loved it. The coffee was great and the food even better. However, went back yesterday and was a little bit dissapointed. The food looked liked it wAs just quickly placed on the plate and wasnt As appealing as the first time

Every time we go here for breakfast or lunch the staff are really friendly & efficient and they are super accommodating with menu alterations, unlike some of the other cafes in town. good coffee, food is really tasty, always a few vegetarian options, good unpretentious little cafe :-)

Went today for breakfast. Sat for 20 minutes and was not served despite others around me being served. Just not good enough.
