A pleasant surprise yesterday morning as this place was stumbled upon by accident.
The ocean view accompanied by the friendly and attentive staff ... superb coffee was a welcome start to the day. But the real joy was the fresh and beautifully presented meals. I replaced chorizo with mushroom on the grilled asparagus. Not only was this no trouble it was beautifully presented and looked like it was meant to be there, not just thrown on the side. Happy days!

Not an enjoyable experience. The ordering process was painful, slow, and a severe overcharge had to be amended. The table was not clean, and we had to ask for water glasses to be cleaned correctly as all the water glasses were clearly only rinsed and not washed. The water bottles were left sitting on a trolley and became warm, so we had no cold water for our table. My schnitzel was near inedible, tough and hard, and could barely be cut with a knife or chewed. My partners corn fritters were burnt and this was strategically hidden by placing them upside down in the stack. And there were dying flowers (see photo) which are meant to be a garnish - smothering his corn fritters, and he spent 5 minutes removing these so he could eat. The extent of the flowers used was excessive, including small flower seeds smothering the food. The lack of hygiene, and lack of a qualified cook or chef let this restaurant down. I see the staff replying to negative reviews which is understandable, but they can't reply in any way that will take away the terrible experience we had here.

Whilst visiting Sunday markets at Redcliffe, we happened upon this particular cafe for brunch. Service was good, face was busy, vibe and ambience were on point.
The cafe has a lot of seating area and is suitable for large groups and events.
The feedback would be for their drink and food. Their masala chai leaves a lot to be desired. Even though we asked for extra strong, it wasn’t. It was a weak version of a tea with some spices in it, but definitely not a masala chai.
The three of us ordered their masala chai and we all felt the same. I think this could be attributed to the type of tea leaves in the actual mix that is the issue, and obviously the café itself.
Flock Eatery might want to consider where to get a better suited product, and if all else fails, I’m happy to recommend the "Wagh Bakri" brand. This would work as Flock does not boil the tea leaves and the milk together in one pot. As the tea and the milk are served separately, this would be a better option to serve as their 'masala chai".
Food wise, the corn fritters were a bit dry, and needed more salt. The avocado smash and their nourish bowl definitely looked better, and I will be ordering that the next time.
I would like them to rethink charging $3 for the micro serving of the house made beans. Whatever happened to normal baked beans, and when did it have to become "fancy" with kidney beans and then be a micro portion? Please bring back baked beans in a can. #pleaseandthankyou
Kudos to the staff for actually asking for our feedback when we went to pay regarding the food.
Although Flock is a long trek for me, I will definitely visit it again.

Beautiful! The food was delicious and came out in reasonable time. So fresh and beautifully plated. Coffee was the best Ive had from this area. Staff were lovely. Keen to return here again soon.

So many awesome things to say about this place. We came here for Breakfast and were amazed by firstly the amount of food (even the small plate had more food than we could eat) but also by the staff here. Every one who came near our table were friendly and happy and spoke to us as if we were regulars. The Barista made one of THE best Chais I've had and the food was DEELicious!!!! Definitely looking forward to coming again.
