The best coffee in Sydney. We used to live around the corner from this place and without a doubt we were in there 6/7 times a week. Their cappuccino is fantastic and iced latte is one of the best. Not to mention the food, the avocado on toast is something from heaven and nothing quite hits the same as their steak sandwich. The staff are always very friendly and love to have a chat. I would highly recommend anyone to go there and I will be encouraging my friends to head there when they go to Australia. I will be missing this lovely little cafe.

Went here for the first time today. This place deserves the great reviews it currently is receiving. Lots of creative and interesting choices on the menu. I had the pumpkin frittata with salad which was delicious and my wife had a smoked salmon bagel which was super fresh and tasty. Coffee was excellent too with a good choice of indoor and outdoor seating. Will definitely go back.
