I have been coming to 'Provence Garden Cafe' for many years now. The menu is sizable but not overwhelming, the food is good, the atmosphere with greenery and a rock pool with fish in the corner is excellent. The best thing about this place, however, is the service. In the many years I have been coming, I only had one poor experience. I noticed the waitress on that occasion was not present thereafter. I constantly give tips which is not something I do often. There is no pretension, attention is easy to obtain yet privacy at other times is given. In short, they are always accommodating and respectful. Yes the owner and the staff are Asian but their understanding of English is ample to run a cafe. Oh, and no music (let alone blaring). I also love the fact that it is a business in its own right i.e. outside a shopping centre. It is also close to Eastwood train station which has a busy bus stop alongside it. Note: this does not affect the cafe as it is surprisingly well insulated against sound. I am thankful to 'Yelp' for giving us (i.e. me in this instance) an opportunity to communicate all the above to others. I am also thankful to the owner(s) and staff (over the years) for keeping this business open - and for keeping it up over such a lengthy period of time. Thank-you reader for your time and attention.

Instead, a huge array of fresh sandwiches, quiches and salads lets you know you've at a place that loves to keep things fresh. Unfortunately, I am not here for food. It is coffee that I crave. Seems they are using Adore Estate coffee which I recall having tried at the Aroma coffee festival not too long ago. When the coffee came, the service was perfect. Came with a glass of water, which I really appreciate, and a question if I would like more milk. Here is where it falls down. Given the coffee already looks like a piccolo latte I refuse the kind offer. It is really sad there is so much milk as the guy making it had a great crema going, and the coffee is not bitter at all. As it seems with many cafes, this place would be great for people who drink caps and lattes. Just not great for me. It is interesting to compare the clientele between here and Pablo & Rusty's ( http://frid.co/nYKfxS ) It seems there are more SME business owners here and older couples. Where as a little closer to the station P&R's seem to get a lot more students, hipsters, and young mums. What a difference a couple of hundred meters makes.

Boston Republic is a new place which offers good food at a reasonable price. The food type is regular western/Australian style food, well made, with a buzzing atmosphere and friendly staff. We have dined here a few times times and the quality is good, the service is quite fast even when busy, and the prices are reasonable. The design your own burger in particular is a great idea, and the resulting product is well made and tasty. The jalapeño mayo is recommended, with just the right kick. One negative which is common to all places in Sydney is they never make the coffee extra hot even when requested every time. No stars removed because the coffee itself is really good despite not being volcanically hot. Highly recommended, come dine here and support a minority food style in the area!

I loved the internationally inspired menu with dishes like Huevos Rancheros, an 'Ode to Borough Markets' cheese toastie, coconut sticky rice porridge and my fave, fried eggs with tomato herb salad and dukkah on beetroot spread and flatbread - YUM!! The coffee's probably the best espresso style coffee in this neck of the woods, which isn't a hard feat but they don't let that be an excuse, treating the 5 Senses beans with respect and producing a great cup, whether the milk, black or iced. It's great to have just one more option on my short list of local cafe gems but if I were you, I wouldn't make a special trip here if I lived further afield - keeps the line shorter for me!
