Really lovely cafe with great food selection and excellent customer service. The salmon pole bowl was yum and the wagyu burger generous and well put together. Service was attentive and friendly, going above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience there. The breakfast muffin was also super yummy. Limited seating (25) so avoid the lunch hours if you can. Will be back!

Coffee was so yum and strong. Brunch was tasty with creative menu and presentation. Staff were so kind, the guy made us a table outside, then brought us treats for the dogs and cups for our baby to play with. Highly recommend!

Went for lunch and had the chilli prawn linguine; it was one of the best I've ever had! Honestly didn't miss with the flavour. We sat outside in the sun which was lovely, and the service was also really good. Would highly recommend.

Very tasty brunch at The Walrus. Menu has all the expected options for a restaurant in the East, with a few interesting variations of their own. Chai latte was among the best I've tasted. The pancakes were light and fluffy, although a little dry, although that was quickly fixed with an extra helping of maple syrup. Friendly staff and quick service. Seating for about 30 inside with well spaced tables and not too noisy. Well worth a visit!

The Walrus , Waverley – A Local Gem Went to The Walrus Waverley for dinner tonight and was pleasantly surprised by the extensive menu and the quality of the food. Every dish we tried was delicious and exceeded our expectations. The service was brilliant – the waiter and waitress were friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. We brought the kids along, and it was great to see a local cafe offering such a diverse menu with something for everyone. It’s refreshing to have a place nearby that combines great food, excellent service, and a family-friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend!
