    Jan 2024- mee krang (sp?) toastie DELICOUS!
    Mary E.

    January 2024- unfortunately the day I visited Dutch Smuggler, it was POURING rain in Sydney. They have a few tables with umbrellas in front but I couldn't sit and enjoy my coffee for there because of the rain. I ended up sitting around the corner where there was a bench. I very much enjoyed my cappuccino and savory toastie sandwich. The girl working was pleasant enough. Overall it was a clean space and they had Aesop sanitizer available. Prices are reasonable also for the quality of the coffee and food. I would recommend this place and would go back next time I visit Sydney.

    Woooo!

    After walking around the city we decided to grab some lunch. This was close by and boy did we stumble across a gem. AMBIANCE: Parking: Street parking, plaza parking, and metered parking. However this is the city so finding parking can get costly. I would look into public transportation. Seating: Outside seating for maybe 20 people or 4 small groups. Vibes: The area is nice. A lot of city things (art, restaurants, shops, and businesses) around the area to keep you busy. It is next to skyscrapers so I can see them getting extremely busy during lunch time. The spot itself is a cove where you order and either eat outside or to go. FOOD: Mi-Goreng Toastie (Recommend) Mi-Goreng are fried instant noodles from Indonesia, some green onions, cheese, and toasted bread. The spicy mayo gives it an additional smooth texture. This was truly an umami bomb! Truffle Garlic Noodles (Recommend) If you're looking to reduce your carbs then the noodles are a great choice. A lovely presentation of the noodles decked with stripped flower petals. The noodles were soft but also had a nice crunch. Every bite was loaded with flavor. I actually wish I had bread to help absorb all the sauce. Matcha Latte (Recommend) Lovely! Nothing too flashy but a lovely aesthetic to the delivery. I enjoyed the earthy and smooth drink. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Solid! Twas a busy rush but they seemed to handle it calmly and professionally. TL; DR OVERALL: 5 Stars. Awesome! I am grateful we stumbled upon this place. Great menu, delicious food, and reasonable prices. I can't believe this looks like a simple grab-and-go as this food is certainly needs to be calmly enjoyed and not on a rush. Australia is sure lucky to have a place like this! TIPS: * To avoid the wait, order online

    We found this place after searching online for great breakfasts in Sydney. I had the recommended mi goreng noodle, which is mi goreng noodles, fried egg, cheese, and whatever the heck "magic sauce" is (it is magic). It was just the right amount of savory, cheesy, salty. It had perfect amount of runny yolk. I also had a cold tea that was refreshing and light. My husband had their version of a vegetarian melt (he had it with cheese, but it's available with vegan cashew cheese). He liked it. The servers were nice and prompt. The mi goreng seems to be their signature--I would try it if you've never been here, but they have many near menu options and lots of coffees to try!

    Had the Mi Goerang sandwich and it was phenomenal. The best sensation of sweet, spicy, and salty that hit the spot.

    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!
