Café On Strand, Croydon – Rating: 17.5/25

This gallery contains 7 photos.

After neglecting Croydon for far too long, Café On Strand is our first review in the suburb!  With no spare tables outside, we seated ourselves within.  The interior is spacious but we found it far too loud and echoey.  All … Continue reading

Circa, Parramatta – Rating: 22.5/25

This gallery contains 8 photos.

Circa Espresso is a testament to fabulous interior design and the ability to turn a narrow space into something very special.  The normally bustling centre of Parramatta is deadly quiet on early Sunday mornings.  And another plus is the fact … Continue reading

This gallery contains 6 photos.

It was a little over two years ago that we visited the newly-opened Deckhouse.  Despite being quite disappointed, we vowed to return once they had found their feet and today we ventured back to the location with arguably one of … Continue reading

Two quick reviews for you this weekend.  First up is Forsyth Café in Naremburn which is the shopfront for a multi award winning coffee and tea company.  The location is quite humble and retro while providing a massive variety of … Continue reading

Little Darling Diner, Balmain – Rating: 19.5/25

This gallery contains 7 photos.

Thanks to one of their previous employees who recommended Little Darling Diner, it wasn’t long before I decided I needed to pay this little piece of France a visit.  Things happen at a slower pace here.  I’m not referring to … Continue reading

Botanica Garden Café, Waverton – Rating: 22/25

This gallery contains 5 photos.

What used to be a nursery opposite Waverton train station is now an incredibly relaxing, open plan café that took me completely by surprise.  As you walk in, you are greeted by the superb and funky colourful mural on the … Continue reading

Brown Sugar, Bondi Beach – Rating: 21.5/25

This gallery contains 5 photos.

With winter finally loosening its grip on our city, you may have noticed a change in the cafés I review.  I’m going to aim for ones with outdoor seating, seaside outlooks or parks nearby. With that said, if you set … Continue reading

Fegos on Frenchs, Willoughby – Rating: 16.5/25

This gallery contains 7 photos.

Nestled in suburban Willoughby, Fegos on Frenchs offers hot breakfasts served quickly in a relaxed atmosphere.  It is a favourite amongst locals especially because it is pram and child friendly thanks to the spacious interior and collection of toys.  They … Continue reading

Lyne Park Café, Rose Bay – Rating: 18/25

This gallery contains 7 photos.

  If a friend hadn’t recommended Lyne Park Café we would not have even known it was there.  Situated in the clubhouse of the tennis centre on New South Head Road, the café overlooks a picnic perfect park and the … Continue reading

Fish & Co., Annandale – Rating: 16/25

This gallery contains 4 photos.

For such an award winning café, Fish & Co. (The Sustainable Seafood Café) was very quiet throughout our visit.  With restaurant and food awards from Channel 7, 2UE, SBS and more, they obviously know their seafood but what about their breakfast? … Continue reading

The Grounds of Alexandria, Alexandria – Rating: 22.5/25

This gallery contains 17 photos.

It has taken a while for me to get to The Grounds of Alexandria.  I figured if I waited, the crowds would die down.  Wrong!  Be prepared for at least a thirty minute wait.  But would we be prepared to … Continue reading

bescetti, Cammeray – Rating: 19/25

This gallery contains 7 photos.

The battle of the Cammeray laneway continues!  A few weeks ago we reviewed The Laneway Café and now it’s bescetti’s turn.  Despite the former café being bathed in sunlight, we were determined to review somewhere new.  This was all for you, … Continue reading

Sunrise Café, Warriewood – Rating: 18/25

This gallery contains 8 photos.

To do a sunny day like today justice, we just had to visit a beach café.  We’ve been to Warriewood before to review the SLSC Beach Café.  I had spotted Sunrise Café as we were leaving and added it to … Continue reading

Luxe Bakery Café, Newtown – Rating: 18.5/25 (re-review)

This gallery contains 7 photos.

We have been to Luxe Bakery Café once before.  The score wasn’t fantastic but I have always wanted to return to give them another go and to sample some of the baked items.  The line for coffee and bread here is … Continue reading

Kelby’s Café, Marrickville – Rating: 20/25

This gallery contains 9 photos.

Today’s café was either going to  be Kelby’s Café in Marrickville or one in Rose Bay.  The suburbs seem to be polar opposites and the choice was difficult but seeing as we haven’t reviewed a café in Marrickville before and … Continue reading

The Laneway Café, Cammeray – Rating: 16/25

This gallery contains 5 photos.

This small laneway in Cammeray between Miller Street and the Cammeray carpark plays host to three cafés all vying for attention.  But The Laneway Café was recommended to me so that’s where we went! The outdoor seating was thankfully bathed … Continue reading

Echo On The Marina, Roseville – Rating: 18.5/25

This gallery contains 9 photos.

Echo is certainly envied for its position, sitting right on the Rosevill Marina with glorious views.  It can be reached by short bushwalk from Babbage Road or a daunting series of steps from Normac Street.  An inclinator can be used … Continue reading
