What Angelo Johns doesn't like about Café Societea:
Change of Management and quality of food is drastically down from our previous visit. I had a BLT. I don't believe they are sourcing their produce from the other Griffith stores. The bread roll (hot dog bun) was stale and the filling was vastly outweighed by the bun. My friend had the classic breakfast and was really looking forwards to the chipotles. Unfortunately they were pre-cooked before being warmed or cooked... View all feedback. What annie Mabilat likes about Café Societea:
This is a hidden gem, we had devonshire tea which is like a mini high tea, cost was $25pp.  Service was excellent.  I would definitely go back to Cafe Societea. View all feedback.

Cafe Societea offers a delightful experience with their high tea, lunch options, and delicious food. The high tea must be booked in advance and costs $45 per person for regular and vegetarian options, while the gluten-free option is $48. With a homey and cozy atmosphere, attentive service, and generous portions, this hidden gem in Griffith is a must-visit. The hosts, Janette and Phil, go above and beyond to ensure customers have a special experience, making the cafe a charming place to enjoy a meal or high tea. Overall, Cafe Societea is highly recommended for its delicious food, warm hospitality, and delightful atmosphere.
