We have been choosing port pantry for our breakfast outings for a while now because it is simply the best. Best chai latte in town. Best choose your own breakfast and awesome service plus we sit in the sun and look over glasshouse square with no wind or bugs. I order over easy eggs which is a difficult order and they are always perfect. I also make a special request for grillled mushrooms with wilted spinach and they accommodate me with no fuss. Always service with a smile. Also reasonably priced. Can’t ask for more.

Even at 2pm, this lovely cafe didn’t deny me a (very) late breakfast, with some of the most delicious crepes I’ve had! The coffee was fantastic and the partial ocean view was serene. Give Port Central Pantry a go when you’re next in the Port Central Shopping Centre

Had an exceptionally good experience with the Port Central Pantry in Port Macquarie today when I had to cater for a business lunch at short notice. The team loved the delicious food and Shaun was so helpful, I highly recommend this bakery and coffee shop. Thank you again for your amazing customer service today. Kind regards.

Excellent coffee, very friendly and attentive staff. The eggs benny were cooked too perfection on both occasions we ate here. The Mrs ordered the smashed avo on sour dough, also both times the ingredients were fresh and very tasty. Accommodating and understanding with our young children, being a little loud and messy. Definitely don't skip past this Cafe. As most importantly the coffees were spot on as well.

EGGS BENEDICT. Decided to give it ago, seeing that it has a 4.7 rating. It has earned those stars for a reason, service was quick and friendly. Food was very tasty. Atmosphere was as good as a food court could give . Well done guys

Friendly and efficient service, plenty of tables, food came out in about 20 mins (standard). Tasty Eggs Benedict two different ways, decent enough coffee; all worth the cost. Tables were cleared quickly after people had left. Impressive for a busy and popular shopping mall cafe.
