Playing Fields Cafe is a great spot for quality coffee and food in a nice atmosphere right off the lobby of the Crowne Plaza. Had an almond flat white. They serve ONA coffee. Highly recommend.

Playing Fields Cafe was such a treat! I ordered hashbrowns, the pancakes, and a flat white. These pancakes were absolutely amazing! I was sold when I saw they came with ice cream but it was even better than I was expecting somehow. The flat white was so artistic and the hashbrown was insanely crispy. I loved the cafe vibes here and everyone who works here was so friendly. I appreciated that they opened earlier than some other cafes in the area since I was up early due to jetlag. Would highly recommend for the service, food, and ambiance

Brought a colleague here to have some breakfast. Unfortunately it seemed that I got the cafe on a bad day as there was not enough staff at the front of house. With only 2 people working the counter and barista, it was always going to be hard.Thankfully the gentleman who served me explained the situation and told me that he would do his best to deliver our drinks and food.I was not disappointed by this at all and they always have a good staff presence, it just seemed that I got them on their bad day.Highly recommended and it's a nice place.

we went there for Vietnamese pop-up dinner on Friday night. the vast seating inside outside and nice back ground music. the most importantly chef's authentic house made Vietnamese food was so freshly tasty and also delicate. some of her dishes you haven't tasted at any other places in Canberra! you must go there to taste Vietnam:):)
