What do recent reviews say?

Camp Forest draws diners for its serene outdoor garden with koi fish, nature-immersed setting, and dedicated vegetarian and vegan menu. Strong coffee, fresh house-made tea, and locally-inspired plant-based dishes keep regular customers returning. A recent management shift has introduced pricing increases and portion reductions that concern long-time visitors, alongside occasional service delays even when the cafe is quiet.

The team, led by an attentive manager who crafts tea blends in-house, brings genuine care to the kitchen and front of house. Newer customers tend to praise ambience and flavour, while established patrons note the shift has raised costs and lowered plate sizes; this divide suggests the cafe is repositioning toward a cafe-first concept rather than its former restaurant identity.
