    Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict with a Piccolo
    David S.

    When i arrive to Sydney, this is my go to place for bfast sometimes lunch. The Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict was perfect. I'm not a big eater but this was only a 1/2 portion. Others love his big bfast with lots of bfast meats & scrambled eggs. Have it with a local fav, piccolo. it's a shot of espresso with warm milk. Delicious and a friendly staff. Lots of locals wait in line here and Ron Danieli (owner) remember locals names. Thanks Ron.

    Danieli is true gem, perfectly located near Circular Quay in a small shopping center. The restaurant features a nice outdoor dining area allowing for great people watching. The coffee and breakfast were fantastic and kept us coming back for more all three days we visited Sydney. Ron is great and made us feel like family each time we visited. Eggs bennie was a star of the menu as well as the French toast & burritos. Great prices and friendly service - you can't go wrong at Danieli.

    Danieli's breakfast and coffee were delicious! My husband, father in law, and I all ordered different things and we loved everything. The owner was very friendly and he made it a great experience.

    The owner Ronny is an authentic Italian with a love and passion for coffee, so much so he has his own coffee brand which is sold on premise as well as David Jones. You can tell he loves his coffee as he welcomes and chats to all his customers about coffee whilst skilfully working the coffee machine and artistically but delicately adds the finishing touches to your coffee. A great cuppa here, the only fault I would highlight was the temperature of my coffee but I admit I do like it hot which I could've probably mentioned, all in all a very precise taste with no bitter aftertaste.

    I walked into the old rundown Clock Tower building and stopped to take a photo of the shop front as this place didn't have any photos on Yelp yet. Ron saw me and looked up from his machine and waved. And that's how I was introduced to this amazing coffee shop in the Rocks. I explained I was doing research to determine who would get my vote for the Aroma Cup. He asked what I knew about the shop: they use their own beans, they have a second location on Cumberland. That's it. Ron's been there 8 years, he tells me. They supply various supermarkets (I think I heard Salts Meats Cheese mentioned - Ron and I have different definitions of a "supermarket") and they make their own Nespresso compatible pods. Ron proudly opened up the packaging on one of the individually wrapped capsules- it smelled divine. He pointed to a wall with all of his awards and apologized that his display case was a bit bare "normally it would be filled with Italian baked goods". The blackboard boasts a menu of various breakfast wraps and sandwiches and lunchtime burgers. He turned to make my long black and asked a bit about me. I left with a booklet on the Aroma Fest, a big smile, and most of all, an amazing coffee. Thanks, Ron!

    Just inside the clock centre, a great find for our family breakfast.

    This is Major Tom to... No! I won't go down that road, let's try another route. Like the dumbbell…read morewielding moustachioed man of strength at the circus this cold drip coffee connoisseur delights and astounds the crowd as he goes about his daily grind. First impressions count, and GC had me at hello... That 'tash, is to curling what.... Curling is to the winter olympics. Awesome sauce! I fully expect moustache rides will be on the menu if business ever hits the skids. Alas, despite the gleeful charm of the curly coifed one, nothing short of an excellent coffee with character was going to make the all important lasting impression on me and sadly in that area GC disappoints. I gave GC the Soy Latte test and the Long Black test and it just doesn't measure up to other coffee in the area. I like strong coffee with complexity and GC just doesn't have that. It's not the worst but it is very weak despite using the same La Marzocco espresso machine (that Barista's rave about for ease of use) as other places in the area. The service at GC however is very good and to some people that's first priority. So if you aren't too fussy about your coffee and are looking for a smile and a spring in your step from an energetic soul then get your morning fix at GC, and start the day on a happy note.

    Stopped by this place for a quick bite to eat and a coffee and was really pleasantly surprised by…read morethis hole in the wall next to the train station. Fantastic coffee and service! I think it's in the top three places in the area so far as quality wise for coffee. I had a bagel with cream cheese and sat inside the tiny little shop and it was delicious. I would have preferred to have been able to spread my own cream cheese as I think that they put a bit too much on for my taste. I will say the milk crates for tables are a little problematic as I found myself stooping to get my coffee and spilt it a little but that's really not a problem for the quality of the shop. The rest of the food in he glass cabinet, muffins and sandwiches, looked delicious and I can't wait to go back and try more things there!
