"I only had coffee here - regular cappuccino - but was surprised to learn they have a 20% surcharge on a weekend. Coffee tasted fine. There is only limited parking onsite and yellow lines on the road prevent street parking close by, which is a problem. Friendly service - happy to try their food on a weekday."

"Really nice food, good service, reasonable price, nice cafe & Murray Bridge. Will definitely come again. Had Eggs Benedict. As good as i have had."

"A fantastic little gem in Murray Bridge! Stopped in at GCS and was greeted with a warm, genuine welcome — the kind that instantly makes you feel at home. It’s not a fancy spot, but that’s part of its charm. I ordered the traditional eggs benedict and honestly, it was perfect, and on the table in no time. I also had an almond milk flat white, and the coffee was spot-on. They use Amanti coffee, which I’d never tried before, and I was pleasantly surprised by how smooth and flavourful it was. The place might look unassuming from the outside, but don’t let that fool you — the food, coffee, and service are absolutely worth the stop. Highly recommended!"

"I was on the road and needed lunch. I spotted GCS Cafe out of the corner of my eye. Pulled over not expecting much. Checked out the specials menu as I wanted something quick. Ordered Hash Brown stack. What came out was way above my expectations and the hollandaise sauce was unbelievable. THe eggs were cooked to perfection and the bacon was delicious. I have to say, I was very pleased and it didn't hurt the bank account either. I will be attending next time I come through with food like this and the service was with a smile and greeting. Very happy to recommend this place."
