And there's enough space, and a general calm that means the dogs and kids don't feel overbearing like the sometimes do in small city cafes. The coffee is very good, and served in bright yellow cups. The menu is very interesting with many classic cafe dishes getting a Japanese twist. Servings aren't huge, but always filling enough, and very well priced. Most meals are around the $10 mark. And there is plenty of on street parking. Staff are lovely, meals are different (and delicious!) and the location is excellent. A new favourite for me.

The FOH staff while pleasant could be more confident. There was an air of confusion and chaos when there didn't need to be, they needed to relax a little... Living a little, one of us had the unusual prawn toast and the other a more predictable avocado toast. Both dishes were beautifully presented and outstanding flavors. Significant food envy was had over the prawn toast, a mix of Thai flavors that were both exotic and light. A busy cafe with great food, we highly recommend.

Well, that is basically what I decided to do the morning before leaving Newcastle. I guess it had something to do with it looking like one of those nice inner city cafes I tend to like. Well, it was, but not really a place that seriously grabbed my imagination. Actually, a part of me felt that it was a little dull, though the benedict was nice, as was the service, so I can't really fault that.

I need a gutsy coffee and one not tasting like skim milk. And the eggs on toast were a letdown for me. Doesn't compare to the good quality you find most places now. The bar has been raised. (I'm no fan of margarine on my toast) Who knows. Maybe their other foods may be the hook to keep people coming.

Today I ordered the breakfast roll and it was almost too hot to hold but I liked that. It definitely hit the spot at 2:30pm when I'd had nothing but a tea in the morning. The main gripe however and this goes for the previous cafe Enchante; the staff mop around you giving a sense of trying to get you out. We left before 3pm and they didn't close until 5pm so unless there is a spill or the floor is noticeably dirty why do it? Not only does it increase the chance of a customer slipping but also the staff carrying hot food and drinks.

The smoothies left us wondering what secret ingredient made it taste so good.

The food here is fantastic, everything is made to order and oh so fresh. The locals seem to be the only ones who know about the place.

The burgers look great and so does all the breakfast stuff and best of all, it costs a lot less than the eateries around the corner. Breakfast here I come.

What an awesome place. A bit of a trek for Sydneysider, but…read morewell worth it for that amazing seafood platter. It is so popular with the locals that they recommend you pre-order a couple of hours ahead so you dont miss out. Around $140 gets you so, so, so much crab. ( Ask for garlic butter on the side because it doesnt come with any.. ask for like, half a litre) Not only that. If you have a boat you can simply book a mooring right out the front and the staff will bring you your gosh darn order down to your vessel. Extensive wine list. The restaurant is run and staffed by the owners. I think on the night we may have had a rookie waitress, who was all too eager and came to our table way too often and was a little unprofessional. To wit,that she couldn't open the wine, so asked us to do it. A big no no in fine dining. Luckily the owner herself was amazing, as was the food and that sunset over the water... cos you're sitting looking out over it. Get in!
