Harrington Cafe is such a fun little spot! The tacos are absolutely worth trying…they were lovely, flavorful, and surprisingly filling. The sausage waffle pizza, on the other hand, was a bit too oily for my taste. The toppings were nice, but the overall flavor could be improved. The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff were all very welcoming. The lady at the counter made sure we were comfortable, and the whole team was warm and attentive. The café could benefit from a little renovation here and there, but it still has a pleasant vibe. One of the highlights is their karaoke rooms…there’s an air-conditioned room and another without AC, and they charge by the two-hour block. That’s also the only thing that makes the place a little noisy at times, but honestly, we ended up enjoying the music drifting over from the other room . There’s also a separate room with a TV, so you can binge Netflix or YouTube while you eat, which is a nice touch. Overall, Harrington Cafe offers a relaxed, entertaining experience with friendly service. I’d recommend it if you’re looking for good tacos, casual dining, and a bit of fun on the side.

We celebrated my boyfriend’s birthday at Harringtons Café, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience! The two uncles who cook there were so loving, helpful, and accommodating, they made everything feel effortless. Aunty Bertha was incredibly sweet, she stayed throughout the event, checking in to make sure everything was perfect. The food was amazing! It had that warm, homemade touch that made us feel right at home. The ambience was just as lovely cozy and inviting, giving us a true home-away-from-home feeling. Excellent service, delicious food, and a beautiful atmosphere, we couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you, Harringtons Café, for making this celebration so special!

Initially, we didn't wanna go because of the reviews posted regarding the service and food. But We booked the karaoke room from 5 til around 10. The staff was quite opposite what was mentioned in reviews, they were quite friendly and mostly the food were awesome. We ordered kottu and Pizza. It was very much worth the prices and commenting about the taste, kottu was phenomenal. You get the homemade taste from the kottu,but personally, I wish the portion had a bit more, and pizza was really, REALLY good. The fillings were added quite a lot, which you can not even find on other pizza shops more often. The place was very spacious and cozy. Definitely will plan on revisiting the place. Keep up the good work, staff!

The café offers a charming atmosphere suitable for families with children, making it an ideal spot for a meal or even a small birthday celebration. However, regular maintenance is essential as the furniture, toys, and slides require daily cleaning before use due to excessive dust accumulation.

Loved their prawn waffle pizza. This cafe is not your typical cafe, but it's alright. The food we brought was made to our order and they were delicious. Narang juice is refreshing. This place is ideal for a kids birthday party or some sort of event like that because they do have lots of toys and a TV available at the place. I would personally like it if the place is a bit more maintained because when you look from the outside you don't actually see that it is a cafe. And i suggest to maintain the place even if there are less customers because there was dust in the tables. But still the server tended to us with care. Parking is available on the land adjecent to the cafe. They do have card payments. The server mistakenly charged more from our card but then refunded us in cash when we informed.
