Sydney cafe roasted over stingy Vegemite toast serving

A Sydney cafe is being mercilessly roasted online after a customer shared a snap of the stingy Vegemite toast she was served.

A Sydney cafe is being roasted online after a customer shared a photo of a piece of toast with a very stingy spread of Vegemite on it.

An outraged customer shared a photo of the “very disappointing” piece of toast on Saturday, sparking hundreds of comments from equally offended Australians.

The snap shows a piece of barely toasted sourdough, with a buttered middle and a scraping of the popular toast topping.

“Vegemite on toast from a cafe,” the disappointed Reddit user wrote, alongside a sad face emoji.

In a later post, the user claimed to have bought the breakfast item at a popular eatery in Newtown over the long weekend.

The photo sparked a flurry of angry, as well as amusing, responses – including one who labelled the toast “f***ing disgraceful”.

“That’s just un-Australian and needs to be called out,” one user raged.

“It’s barely toasted and the butter doesn’t even make it to the edges. Let alone the issue with the Vegemite,” another fumed.

As another added: “That’s bloody outrage that is!”

Others said the user would have been within their rights to take it back and complain.

“If I got that after paying money to a cafe I would go back and ask for a refund. Vegemite isn’t that expensive is it?” one said.

“I don’t think that can even be called toast. Warm bread maybe,” one chipped in.

While one teased: “Damn, I didn’t know they made Vegemite in the singular tense, but you found it. A single Vegemite.”

Despite the overflow of support, there were some who questioned the type of person who orders toast from a cafe.

“OK, that’s terrible … but who tf is ordering vegemite toast from a cafe?” one wrote.

Mostly though, people just saw the “abysmal” brekkie offering as an opportunity to roast Sydney prices and services.

“Inflation is tough. Restaurants are trying to make their condiments last for the next decade,” one ribbed.

“I’m not a violent man and I’m slow to anger, but I would go to jail over this,” another teased.

As one joked: “Must have run out of Vegemite so they just wiped their bum with it instead, hoping you wouldn’t notice.”

It’s the second time recently that the exorbitant prices of essentials in Sydney have been questioned.

A few weeks ago a Melbourne woman was left in disbelief when she was charged $8.90 for a latte in Sydney’s inner-city precinct of Barangaroo.

The woman, who goes by the name of Traci on TikTok, was in the Harbour City for the weekend when she made the purchase at a cafe inside Crown Towers.

“OMG I just got charged $8.90 for a cup of coffee,” she said in the now-viral video.

Traci, who is a migration lawyer, said she was charged $1 extra for soy milk, another $1 for upgrading to large, an 80 cent Sunday service fee and another 10 cents for “other”.

She also described the coffee as being “average”.

Her video has already amassed more than 169,000 views since it was uploaded last month, with hundreds of people weighing in on her experience.

“Just another day in Australia,” one person wrote.

“Coffee prices are getting obscene. $7 just to have it over ice the other day,” another said.
