Best coffee in this area. The place was packed with people but managed to get a seat. Great atmosphere, amazing coffee and quick service, my new hot spot!

Absolutely love love love this cafe!! Coffee exactly how I liked it (I always feel nit picky explaining my half strength soy no froth...and the list goes on) but the very friendly staff listened carefully with a smile and perfected it. The gluten free orange and almond slice was a beautiful compliment as was one of the girls who stopped and had a chat to me about my day as she happily cleaned. So nice to have vibrant and attentive service, felt like I was amongst friends. I recommend this cafe wholeheartedly. Definitely cured this weeks monday-itis!! Was so good I brought my husband back for a valentines treat the following day, and it didn't disappoint!!
However, reading some of the comments below I'm slightly confused. As I'm a teacher I have to race after school to fit a coffee in. I received a coffee at approximately 5:00 and stayed outside as the chairs were put up late, and on valentines day, many came after me. Reading the post below I find it hard to believe the machine was closed at 4:20 the same day as many coffees were being taken out around me. Just wanted to say my two cents from what I experienced the same day as Scrummies is my new loved spot.

I arrived at 4:20pm to get a take away coffee. They staff apologise saying that they couldn't make it because they were just finishing cleaning the coffee machine. As I was leaving disappointed I look at the business hours clearly display in the front door "open till 5pm". Very disappointed. Very.

Loved the food + coffees. Eat-in large coffee mugs were fun (I haven't seen mugs like that). When I got there and sat down, one of the waitresses who was cleaning the table next to me, made some good natured small talk while she was cleaning. Made my eating experience much nicer!

We love the coffee and the service here. Our little kids love it there too, especially the milkshakes es they make in the kiddie cups. Very friendly for both adults and kids.

I have become a regular customer of Scrummies since Andrew and Ben took over the caf. The coffee is delicious especially served with their warm pear and raspberry bread. The baby chinos are delightful and greatly appreciated by my 3yr old son, who too is a regular customer. I have always found that my family is warmly welcomed by Scrummies and the children are thoroughly spoilt. I recommend that if you are wanting a bit of indulgence then make a trip to Scrummies Oatley. P.S . The gourmet food gifts are wonderful and very tempting.

I've been going to Scrummies for 12 months now on a weekly basis and I can honestly say that I've received nothing but great service and great food at this cafe.

In contrast to the last review, the staff have always been understanding of any issues that may arise when dealing with my 18 month old and and 3 year old.The atmosphere is always very relaxed, perfect for the best coffee in Oatley which is always enjoyable after a hectic Saturday morning of shopping.

Took my Nan and nearly 2 year old here for lunch. The food and coffee were good but unfortunately I will not be going back as it is not child friendly.The staff asked me to keep my son still, he had been down from his chair a few times but I had sat him back down every time and when they came to speak to me he was sitting on my lap!!?? Very rude.

  My name is Ben and I am one of the owners of Scrummies, as well as the gentleman that asked you to keep your son sat down. Thank you for taking the time to leave the review, however you have chosen to allude to a number of very important facts, so please allow me to set the record straight. At the time you are referring to when I asked you keep your son seated the cafe was full, I came over to you and POLITELY explained that there were a lot of hot coffees being carried around and that it would be safer during such a busy time if you tried to keep him seated. I was not at any time rude, and I also took the time to explain to you my reasons. As well as a cafe Scrummies is a gourmet grocery store, and on several occasions members of my staff had reported to me that your son was freely grabbing and picking up groceries from shelves.

  I am also aware that on several occasions you tried to stop him doing this, however he still continued to do it. The safety of my staff and customers is (and will always remain) of paramount importance to me, however it is obvious after the explanation that I gave you, and this subsequent review, that the safety of your son is not so important. We are an extremely child friendly cafe and there are several of our loyal customers who bring their children in specifically to see us for that reason. However, we are not (and will never be) friendly with parents who are unable to supervise their children appropriately in public, or in places which may be harmful to their wellbeing.
