Cafe Outside The Square

Celia is a wonderfully warm, patient and efficient manager of events and Mike is steadfast and positive. I felt so reassured in the planning of my Book Launch. The event was thoroughly enjoyed by my 60 guests! The food was delicious, service timely and friendly, facilities light-filled and comfortable.Guests were so impressed with the unique building and the altruistic intentions of the cafe! We, like so many people, needed this time of celebration and coming together. Cafe Outside the Square provided the perfect relaxed atmosphere for the highlight of my life - the launch of Patchwork, A Life.Thank you guys!! Rose Boswell

I love coming here, Celia is lovely and so are the rest of the staff. The space is open, eclectic and peaceful - just my vibe. The food and coffee are lovely (the little biscuit that comes with the coffee makes my taste buds dance!) they always have amazing cakes in their cabinet made on site… and you can “pay it forward” by adding $5 to your meal that will help feed a less fortunate person through the soup kitchen they run on site at night.

What a find Cafe Outside The Square is! I recently held a casual birthday celebration there and it was just perfect. The atmosphere wonderful, food beautiful and delicious. Brilliant concept, a range of flexible spaces suitable for a variety of events, we did a mix of sit/stand drinks and nibbles one afternoon, but would work equally well for something more formal. The little touches like byo playlist (if you like) to plug into the AV, made the event more personal. Highly recommend this business for your next function or just a casual brunch/lunch. Shout out to Paul, Leigh, Hannah, Mel and Mike, whose exceptional thoughtfulness and care made a special event seamless.Such a great Adelaide venue with a terrific social cause.

Always friendly service, great food and a lovely business supporting different causes including helping to feed homeless folk through their nighttime soup kitchen. Can cater to a good range of dietaries too (GF but not coeliac due to shared kitchen).

I had my baby shower here today in the atrium area of the cafe. The staff were great, food was amazing, and everything couldn’t have been more perfect!!From the start of the planning stages all the way through to today, the staff were great with communication and listening to what I wanted and met those expectations.I had a big range of different cocktail platters with hot and cold, both sweet and savoury food, and there was not one single thing I could fault! They were able to meet to dietary requirements for my guests too which was a great bonus!Absolutely would 100% recommend for any kind of function and even more so because all profits go towards their soup kitchen to feed the less fortunate and homeless ❤️

Nice and clean cafe. Friendly staff. Prices are good and their portions are full. Thank you.

Hosted a baby shower a couple weeks ago in the Atrium space. We were SO pleased with this space. It’s openness, size was not too big but still spacious, great lighting, toilets were close and clean etc. Staff were so helpful with the planning and the day of, continuously offering support and ideas, and service with a smile and a laugh. Generous portions of food, and yummy at that!! I will be recommending this venue in the future! :)

I held my 50th birthday party at the venue on a Saturday afternoon. Utilised all rooms including back function space, cafe proper, and the terrace (west facing so sun on it in the afternoon). Also the adjacent traffic lights facilitated entry into the Whitmore Square where I had kids entertainers operate on the grass and the basketball court. Had couple of hundred people when include adults and kids - the largest event the Cafe has had, and it went off without a minor problem let alone a major one. Also had some Tesla electric cars parked out front for adults to have a look at and which fostered use of the Terrace. Catering and service was great thanks to Paul and his team. Throughly recommend you have an event at the Cafe, no matter how big or small.

I recently held my book launch at the Cafe Outside the Square (12/10/19). The location, layout and ambience is truly amazing. I used the Atrium at the back of the venue and the team accommodated my layout requests. The staff were always extremely friendly and helpful. I got the catering package and the food was presented very well and it was great quality & quantity for the the price. I look forward to using the venue again for my business and personal functions in the future. The cafe really appealed to me due to this pay it forward ethos and mission. It is highly commendable.
