I've lived in Campbell for a couple years, and during that time, I've had the chance to enjoy Teddy Pickers both before and after the change in ownership.
When I first started going, their egg and bacon roll quickly became a favorite of mine—it was easily the best in town (sorry 54 Benjamin!). The coffee was good too, and I found myself visiting several times a week. That said, both the food and coffee could be a bit hit-or-miss in terms of consistency.
When the ownership changed, I’ll admit I had my doubts, just like many locals. There was definitely a transition period where it felt like the new staff were still finding their rhythm.
Which brings me to now.
I have to give credit where it's due. Red, Jasmine, and the entire team have done a fantastic job transforming Teddy Pickers into one of the friendliest neighborhood cafes in Canberra. The food is more consistent than ever, and the attention to detail really stands out. As a black coffee drinker, I can confidently say the coffee has improved as well—better than it ever was.
I’ve never written a review for this cafe before, but lately, I’ve been so impressed with how far they've come that I felt they deserved the recognition. If you haven’t been to Teddy Pickers lately, it’s absolutely worth another visit.
