While enjoying Balmoral Beach we don't always feel like taking time for a sit down dinner or the…read morehassle of packing a picnic, so Bather's Pavillion Kiosk is the perfect compromise. Today the three of us shared a quinoa salad, a ham and guyere cheese sandwich on a baguette, and a pasta salad. It was all delicious and fresh. The only down side is the small spot and how crowded it is at lunch time, but that is minor. Leave room for a Pure Bar for dessert. We had the strawberry, rhubard, vanilla and it was a wonderful treat on a hot day.

Why love a kiosk?…read more Not many kiosks I've been to make seasonal, tasty and gluten free food. Salads, wraps, sandwiches are all made daily and the variety and nutritional value won't leave you disappointed for choosing the cheaper option lunch venue over the expensive restaurants nearby. I had an interesting cabbage, walnut, sultana, egg and tomato ceasar salad which was delicious for about $8. I couldn't have made it better myself and it was so fresh it was as good as eating a meal dished up on a plate. You can also buy take away coffees, pastries, ice cream and a few other cake goodies. I found it handy (especially give the size of this kiosk) that they also stocked sunscreen, beach towels and newspapers. Makes it easy for mum and dad when we forget the important things (like the Saturday paper of course!).

I grew up watching FRIENDS and envied the way they used to eat Chinese food out of a carton. I'm…read morenot too fond of Chinese Food (especially in Sydney as they never have Veg options) and prefer Thai food every time. So, when I accidentally found Thai In a Box, I was ecstatic! It is conveniently located just a few stores down the road from Burwood Westfield and within walking distance of the mall or station. I don't order from their set menus as I love making my own Thai stir-fry. After many different combinations, I now like to order Vegan - Wheat noodles in medium Thai sauce, with crushed garlic and sweet basil and lots of cashew nuts. They pack it in cute cartons with chopsticks, just like in F.R.I.E.N.D.S. The one time that I've eaten in store I ordered the Red curry and found it equally tasty!

A nice cafe with a nice open sunny terrace. The milkshakes are excellent and the burger with the…read morehome made chips was divine. The coffee here is also good. Not a bad choice for a brunch or some lunch in Neutral Bay.

Whilst the portions are probably not ample enough for my gigantic scoff-meister appetite, this…read moreplace is good and consistent with its food, coffee and waitstaff (who will ignore you for as long as it takes you to get up and demand they actually do their job instead of discuss who is the most hipster one of all). For breakfast, get the pancakes or the brekkie wrap. If you've had an all-nighter, you can get excellent coffee by the bowlful. Seriously. For lunch, definitely go the BLAT. As most seating is outside, go on a sunny day. And hope that a lone jerk face with a book and a tea isn't hogging an eight seater table in the sun.

YUM. Entering the Seasweet Patisserie, the smell and sight of the most lovely looking pastries I…read morehave ever seen overwhelms me. Originating from Lebanon, Seasweet has added a Parramatta franchise to its international chain of patisseries - and I for one am glad they did! The shop is staffed by friendly people who are happy to help you choose between macaroons and petit fours and those delicious looking pieces of baklava. There are also cakes, brownies, desserts and a whole range of tempting things - definitely best avoided if you're on a diet! I go there in search of a gift, which the staff are more than happy to help me find, a present that ends up being well within my price range and puts a huge smile on the face of the recipient. For one whole kilo of mixed sweet things, I paid $20 - how is that possible? Amazing! The food looks as great as it tastes; I dare anyone to go into Seasweet and not be overcome!

I hadn't gone to Cosmopolitan in years because as old-timey and family-owned and Italian and all…read morethose things I love as it is their coffee just doesn't cut the mustard. However, it was early, nowhere else was open, it had been a few years, so I thought I'd give them another chance (around the 43rd if you add up the amount of times over the last 10 years or so I've gone through the same inner dialogue) I ordered a coffee and a toasted sandwich. The coffee was predictably awful. It's like buying a coffee at the airport- I KNOW these things so why do I do them? My toasted sandwich however was aces. And to be fair given that the Cosmo IS so old school Italian maybe they do an alright coffee for other people but refuse to give a soy piccallo the love and attention it deserves. I'll let you know how it goes on Chance 44.

Yeah.. stopped in here to grab a coffee on the go. You know.. the train waits for no man…read more.. literally! At a quick glance I thought this is a convenient location and I have a minute. Glad I stopped in. Although I don't find it much to look at, the young guy behind the counter was courteous and did a good job with my coffee. You know how it is.. you try a new place and expect the coffee to not live up to any expectations. BUT, I would go back for a coffee here... and next time even grab some food.

Some decent food but mostly simple dishes. I've been a few times but always get the vibe it's a…read morebetter place for dessert/coffee/tea rather than a solid meal. Nevertheless I have tried a bit of everything and it's safe to say they're a good all-rounder. The different kinds of lattes they offer are worth trying. They have your normal coffee, and also green tea, maron, ginseng etc. Slightly on the sweeter side but as expected at a Korean café. The waffles are quite thin though, and slightly crisp but it wasn't too bad overall. Has a bunch of ornaments and dolls around the place. Kinda cute or creepy whichever way you choose to see it. But still very grandma chic lol.

There's something a little bit secretive about The Little Marionette…read more It would be easy to mistake the Annandale cafe for an empty shopfront or an abandoned house. In fact, with no signage on the building, you could walk straight past without even registering it was there. That is, if it weren't for the smell of coffee beans wafting through the windows and the throngs of milling hipsters spilling onto the footpath. Once you step your way through the dogs and fixie bicycles leaning against signposts, the staff greet you with a laidback "Hey", despite how busy they must be. The sky blue mural on the roof (complete with clouds) gives the impression that this tiny shoe-box of a cafe is far more expansive than in reality, and indeed it is when compared to its hole-in-the-wall predecessor in Balmain. There's a floor to ceiling bookshelf stacked with Little Golden Books, travel guides and encyclopedias, and if you lift the right book the entire wall revolves revealing a hidden second room packed with giant green leather couches. Whilst moose heads are no longer mounted on the walls, you still get the feeling that you've stumbled into a hunter's trophy room to discuss covert matters over cuban cigars. Local indie artists trickle through the stereo and, it seems, the same indie artists are squatting on the arms of the couches, knocking back one little coffee after another. In the roasting room out the back stacks of hessian bags are being emptied into the giant copper roaster by a couple of guys in flannelette shirts, rolled up jeans and caps akin to those your grandad wore, and the smell of the roasting beans is just as sweet and warming as the coffee itself. With beans from Africa, Indonesia and South America, you take your pick between house blends and a daily differing bean (today it's a Honduras). The coffee is a bit hit and miss depending on who's pulling the strings, but even at its worst it's still a good eight out of ten (it's a ten plus the rest of the time). So, get in on the secret. Be mysterious and important. Pull the fire stoker and sneak away to the hidden room, order your second coffee and discuss world events (or last night's Game of Thrones episode) in a hushed voice.
