A whole package: great food, atmosphere and service. Very much enjoyed spending time here this morning for a good coffee and a slice of cake on a cosey corner and then a Yumm lunch. If you'd like a particular seating you probably need the call ahead.

It was the first time we had a nice meal in Toowoomba. We thought we'd have a coffee only, but their menu looked so good and decided to have lunch there. Delicious food and generous serve, great service, too.

Went there for breakfast, food was really good. Service was exceptional. Our waitress (Stacia?) was lovely and went out of her way to organise some ice for my foot that I injured earlier that day. She kept checking in and was super friendly!! Thanks for the great service.

Cafe Valletta is such a beautiful place for a rest and meal. Sitting inside allows you to appreciate the pretty stained glass windows. If you sit outside won the terrace, you can then appreciate the beautiful flowers in the garden and enjoy the fountain. I ordered the bacon and egg with mashed avo on brioche bun. They even toasted the bun so that its crispy. Very delicious.

Beautiful place. The young wait staff were fantastic. Run off there feet but communicating well and calmly. I was there a couple of times on the 18 and 19/9 during the festival of Flowers. The food was great , so I had breakfast there twice.

After an ordinary breakfast the previous day at a nearby cafe, Cafe Valetta righted the ship for me. Great friendly service, my rhubarb porridge was spot on, and coffee was great.

An amazing place. The design, the deco, indoor and outdoor everything looks so amazing and the outdoor looks like from the baroque era. We had here a coffee and it was very delicious and I'm sure that the food is super delicious too. I highly recommend booking a table in advance, even for breakfast because it's a really busy place. And from here you can go immediately to the park, it's nearby and the cafe has a parking area too. Amazing.
