Spacewalk Cafe is a small cafe in a neighbourhood shopping strip that serves brunch and coffee. Their main attraction is a robot waiter that supposedly carries trays of food to the table. Too bad it was not working at the time of our visit. Even robots need time out for R&R. Another drawcard is the cafe's decor - modern, rose gold chairs, wallpapers with a space theme sets it apart from other cafes.
We had bought a Groupon deal for this restaurant which entitles us to choose a dish and a beverage each. We were given a special Groupon menu to choose from so I have no idea how much the dishes would normally cost or if they are on the main menu at all.
I chose the Waffles with Schnitzel and a short black coffee. I was disappointed with the food portion, thinking that I would get a whole waffle. A small chicken schnitzel sandwiched between two quarters of waffles and some salad leaves peppered with cheese powder was quite a small main dish. The waffles tasted good, fragrant and eggy and the chicken schnitzel although looking a very dark brown was not overcooked.
Gaz ordered a Beef Burger which came with fries. I think the standout here is the fries, it was crispy and fluffy on the inside. I'm not sure if it is housemade but it tasted good enough for me to wish there was another basket on the dish. As for the burger, I think it could be elevated with brioche buns and a larger patty.
Service is slow here (maybe because the robot took a sickie?) but since there was two large groups that day, it is possible that they were just not accustomed to the volume that day.
Verdict: Good for brunch with the kids, especially if the robot is working.
Update: This restaurant is now closed.
