I've been coming to this wonderful place for the last 6 months whenever in the area , and have loved everything I have ordered so far and have tried many options and even recently the pies over winter period and have loved every one of their different flavours, so fresh and crunchy pastry . The burgers are awesome and their salads ate to due for , especially my ceaser chicken salad . The coffee tastes wonderful and is consistent and spot on , oh and I also love there fruit smoothies and frappes , staff have always been welcoming and greet you with a smile and or even after a little while knowing you call you by your name . I honestly could not fault them in any way . So I'm a little surprised to read the negative comments, especially the recent one about the pies . Wondering what that person's motive is . maybe they're used to the frozen packed ones he has at home .

I’ve been going to this cafe for 15 years and I’m never disappointed. The coffee is amazing, the food is delicious and great value. Not to mention the cakes are incredible with a lot of Gluten free options. Most cakes are freshly baked in store. The service is friendly and always fast. Highly recommend this cafe.

Visited about 2 months ago, had a Banana Bread & Coffee. Food was ok, coffee a bit on the weaker side, served pipping hot. Service was pretty fast & price was quite fair.

Fresh on Crown Cafe catered for my school function. The sandwich and wraps platters were fresh, healthy and very tasty. I can definitely recommend Fresh on Crown.

Lovely fresh food. Generous servings. Why would you go to the sandwich chain next door when you could go here

This place has the most delicious fresh cafe food for the best value for money in Wollongong. It's worth making the effort to come here. They do a side salad for $4.50 that is actually fresh, and very generous. Unheard of in most cafes!
