Goldfish Bowl Bakery

I got the mushroom wood fired pizza and that might just be the best pizza I’ve ever had. The dough was so soft and delicate, but puffed up and got crisp. Incredible.

Fantastic coffee, service and the eggs benedict was off tap. 5 stars out of a possible 4. Yes that good.

No wonder this place is booming on a Saturday mornings. How good is this place?! The staff are friendly the coffe is good and the food is tasty.
There maybe a wait for food but honestly who cares when the coffee is a winner a d it is Saturday morning enjoy and relax. It is worth tge wait!
And the bread oh my - that fruit bread/loaf they do is hands down the best I have ever had now i wish I bought 2 loaves!
Definitely make this place a stop when you visit Armidale you won't be disappointed.

Whenever I have gone by this establishment it has always been hoppin’ and after one visit you will understand why. If you want to dismiss the delicious array of baked goods, which you really shouldn’t, and skip to the service, food for order, and coffee, you will miss out on some absolutely scrumptious pastries but you will still be met with amazing service and delicious food.

They have absolutely delicious coffee and a great menu of huge portions. We ordered the French toast special to split and we’re happy at that because it was so much food, and so filling! Mind you we still fought for the last bite.

Super cute, great coffee, and fantastic food means you’ll understand why this spot is often busy.

Will Killen is the hottest cafe waiter in the world. He is so nice and so good at his job. I love getting coffees at the Goldfish bowl because Will works there.

On a recent trip to Armidale, my wife and I had breakfast here. I loved it. The service was friendly and fairly efficient. The in-store baked sourdough bread and their butter were both incredible. I had scrambled eggs, mushrooms and sourdough toast. And a flat white. All fantastic. Very reasonably priced too. When I'm back in Armidale I'll definitely pay this place another visit.

Tasty food and friendly service. The atmosphere was really nice too.

Loved this cafe from the moment I saw the mural outside! Great coffee in Armidale. Great vibe, best sourdough and pastry. Staff are happy and helpful and keen to please! Will return to try the lunch menu.

We were taken back as soon as we walked in, the smell of the bakery from the wood fire over was amazing. The variety for breakfast from large meals to pastries was excellent. We had a couple of croissant and Portuguese tarts and they were delicious.
What topped it off for us was that we be bought a couple of their fresh loaves of bread and they were perfect. Tasty, fresh and just 100% awesome

Lovely service, yummy food, and good coffee. Will visit again if ever I’m in Armidale again.

Bread and baked treats - amazing!
Coffee - excellent! Would satisfy the discerning coffee drinker!
Dining - WOW. Had a brilliant fried rice cooked perfectly with pork belly and prawn. My wife had what she calls "the best vegetarian pie".
And the service? So friendly and helpful. We accidentally left something behind and a staff member chased us 300m down the street to return it to us. The baristas and staff are very friendly.
All in all - wonderful bakery, coffee shop, and dining cafe!
Wish I lived nearby to enjoy it more often.

The sticky chai latte is my flavour. Definitely bought one bag of the chai tea seeds home and share with my loved ones.
Six hours drove from Brisbane and found out this amazing place.
Waiting time a big long during weekend.

Consistently the best, or top 3 coffee in Armidale. Combine with the absolute best bread (fruit and nut loaf) in maybe NSW, you're on a winner.

And aside from all that, the service is great, the other food (pizzas!) tremendous. What a great place

THE best bakery cafe in town!!!
Coffee, tea,food. So so good
Service beat the cities hands down.
Good menu with table service and wheelchair and stroller friendly

Wonderful food,ambience and friendly fast service from all staff. Thougherly recommend this bakery.

Fantastically friendly with positive vibes a family friendly cafe and bakery with super sized, superb tasting brekkies and delicious coffee...a must visit for those visiting Armidale and after a yummy breakfast.

Superior quality food at affordable prices. We had the beef pie in red wine, the almond croissant and the Danish which was my favourite as it was shaped like a ninja star and had a nice berry bite to it. The staff were friendly and attentive and the place was busy at 12pm. Another rare gem in a country town worth visiting again.

Very cute little place. Great food (loved the eggs benne) and the staff were great. Well recommended.

Very popular. Great food in biiig servings. Delicious. Excellent staff. Welcoming. If we lived here, we'd eat here every day.

Amazing food great service would highly recommend to anyone the smells out of the kitchen had my mouth watering a must do on your food trail through Armidale
