The hamburger and chips was the pick as the chips were good too; the ocean benedict was OK but cold so it didn't seem like the eggs were freshly done; the arabiatta wasn't very chilli hot. We asked for a coke spider but we ended up with the tiniest of ice cream and a bottle of coke. Possibly the worst was the sticky tables. They were wiped down OK but whoever painted them used the wrong stuff. We got over that by asking to keep the menus and we used them as a table mat.

We had to wait like 10 mins before anyone even came over to us. And they were just standing by the counter, chit chatting, and not even paying attention to anyone around them.

I visited this cafe on the Australia Day public holiday, and I'm not sure if the staff numbers were…read moreradically different than normal but I did not have an enjoyable experience at all. There were two people running the floor, and we didn't know whether to sit down or wait to be seated. We sat ourselves and I found menus, and when I tried to order at the counter, they said sorry we'll come to you. They didn't take our order until 10 min later, and then the true wait for our food and coffee started. If you came here for takeaway, you received your order fairly on time. Firstly the wrong food came out, 45 minutes after sitting down (toast and fried eggs instead of French toast), which took another 15 min to correct. I tried to go inside to fetch our coffee, and could see multiple coffees getting cold on the counter because no one was picking them up. We finally received our coffee after we finished eating, and I'm sorry but all the food was average at best. If I go to a cafe to receive semi cold food (I ordered haloumi bruschetta) that a normal person could make, and have drinks arrive 10 min after I've finished eating, then something has gone seriously wrong. It's a cute decor in a leafy suburb, but I would not recommend eating here unless you're not hungry, and prepared to wait a lot of time for the staff to sort themselves out. Especially since they ran out of normal cups immediately, and were serving table water in plastic cups. In this age where single use plastic is a huge problem, it's astonishing that a cafe would not have enough cups and cutlery for their customers. *note, no photos because it wasn't worth it.

I hadn't known about this place until someone recommended it. He praised the staff effusively and…read moresince I have been there twice, I understand why. This is a very friendly family-run cafe with seating outside and in. I had scrambled eggs with sourdough toast and grilled tomatoes. I've had the same dish at other places, but this is my favorite because the toast wasn't over toasted to a crispy critter. The eggs were fluffy and a grilled tomato for breakfast really hits the spot. Another time when I came here, I had a perfectly poached egg and a delicious scone with jam and cream. I love the way scones in Australia are more like a tender biscuit rather than the hard triangle that passes for a scone in the States. With the jam, the whipped cream is just a bonus. Also, poached eggs are common, a healthier way to eat an egg. It's a bit out of the way towards the end of the outdoor mall, but we'll worth seeking out.

When I need to suggest a cafe to anyone coming to Hornsby, this is easily my default. While most of…read morethe other cafes seem to be reliant on the mass produced, generic coffee, these guys have always been one step ahead. Back in the days before Toby's Estate became more mainstream, these guys had it as their go-to bean. Now that Toby's is more focused on mass production, Thyme Square has switched to Jack and the Bean coffee (another great option). As you know, having a good supply of coffee beans is only the first step in the production of an awesome cup of coffee, but I am happy to say that this cafe does a very decent job banging out cup after cup of great coffee. It must be mentioned that this cafe is also focused on having a wide range of food options [breakfast/lunch/dinner] (which are a tad pricey but compared to other options in Hornsby, might be worth it). As it has been a while since I have eaten here I will leave it to others to tell you what they think. When I was eating here though the standard was quite high.

Okay, I have never been up to this part of Sydney previously, so I guess I had no idea what I would encounter, but this place literally appeared out of nowhere.

I've been here quite a few times last year and the food and portion sizes were always great and…read moregenerous. I went back today and was really disappointed by both the food and service. I ordered a chorizo,mushroom and rocket sandwich; my friend ordered French toast with berry compote. My friend didn't really like how the French toast tasted and they got my order wrong twice, even though they were not particularly busy. They sent me the chicken avo and Brie toastie twice. Even though they were polite about it, I feel like their service was pretty lacking. When my order eventually came out, it was really oily and pretty average. I don't like to make a fuss about stuff like that - I get it people make mistakes. But I would've like to see them maybe offer a discount or some incentive for me to come back. Perhaps we ordered the wrong things but it does seem like there was a changing of ownership. The staff are all different and they also don't serve the crepes menu anymore. Overall the dining experience was very average. Who knows? Maybe it was just a bad day but I'm not itching to go back.

Very hungry and very eager to try the ever joining list of serious small cafes popping up in Parramatta, I was surprised it was empty inside but being also positive that only meant more quicker survive for us. Most people don't seem now to have the time and just order coffees to go. We sat down to this blacken cafe with typical objects aligning the wall associated with the name La Roué. You can tell this place is new and more association is needed for more character. Their menu is certainly quite extensive and split into categories including the specials and popular ones. I'll feast on their popular but typical big breakfast as well eyeing a muffin for later. I was hungry. For some reason, I like heavy European accent service. French and Italian guys shouting at each other is charming. For under $17 I certainly did receive what the menu promised on a popular scale. This was a lot! Good!! The scrambled eggs were very creamy. Totally delicious with a mix of spinach and mushrooms and 2 big sausages, chicken and lamb all on 2 big proper breakfast bread. A big serving of beans too for dipping. Did I mention this dish was big? I couldn't eat more after this and was happy but disappointed when was told their muffins made daily and daily different. The banana muffin that got away. Instead a doppio to top it off as greatest with a big smile and almost high five. He was eager to make a serious coffee for once it seemed. A good lingering taste of Campos origins. If your looking for a good feed for a good price, La Roué will satisfy waddling away. Thank you John of Ermington. Mark My Words

FOOD My friend and I both ordered the scrambled eggs ($9). I ordered it with sourdough toast and a side of mushrooms (extra $4). For the price I would have expected a little more egg and mushrooms. It did fill me up though. I liked how the mushrooms weren't overly oily as some places seem to drench them in oil. http://www.yelp.com.au/biz_photos/0wVPZxUfSE218WvTDI14fg?select=OQxzmTvWNkSw7bbQtGhvTQ I ordered a chai latte and my friend got a piccolo latte.

The chai was a tad on the sweet side but nevertheless still enjoyable. http://www.yelp.com.au/biz_photos/0wVPZxUfSE218WvTDI14fg?select=_N5UvkbJGMb1xdrj6gUWEQ SERVICE This isn't a place where you wait to get seated. We learnt that the hard way as we were waiting for the ok to go sit down at a newly vacated table only to have someone else take the initiative and plonk themselves down no questions asked. Water is also self service. When we sat down at a table whilst it was being cleared the waitress asked us if we wanted water but then at the end of the meal we were still waiting for it only to be told it was self service at the counter. VERDICT Particularly busy on weekends which gives it a nice buzzing atmosphere. Doesn't compare with the brunch places in crows nest or surry hills but definitely a good local spot for those that live around the Beecroft area.
