The space is clean and neat, the wait not too long (even on a public holiday) but for the love for all that is fair and reasonable in the world - $20 for a few bits of pumpkin, goats cheese and salad leaves in a standard takeaway container, and $8.80 for a cream-filled piece of cake is just plain mean. There are no other food options at Mount Annan, so it looks like the Melaleuca Cafe has attempted a Janome-esque stitch-up of anyone unorganised to bring their own stuff. It's a shame, the rest of the place has a real community vibe I hope the Royal Botanic Garden people re-award the contract to a caterer that has a more fairly priced menu. The guy serving the food apologised (but didn't offer to do anything about it) and when the lady in front of my guffawed over the price of the Italian-cake-cream-pastry- thing (cannelini maybe?) her reply 'it's $8.80 if you don't want it - you don't want it', translation: Yep, I know its expensive, I deal with this crap all day, and frankly don't give a FF because you have no other option.
