They had the usual cakes and pastries available, aswell as pre made sandwiches. There were quite a few people there ordering coffee, which I took as a good sign. They serve Allpress coffee which is usually ok. Unfortunately the coffee I got was a little weak, this could be down to how busy it was. I also ordered a sausage roll, which was tasty enough. Considering how busy this bakery is, they do provide prompt service.

Pretty bakery at the Oxford street and perfect for a quick bite/ break while you are shopping away…read more It's no surprise that it's filled with mostly women. I had the cronut and I asked for it to be slightly toasted. It might have been better without and I did not really dig it. The coffee was on-point and well done. They had a ton of options for both eating as well as drinks - juices, teas, coffee, etc.

Loukoumades are Greek light doughnut balls traditionally soaked in honey syrup. Today, Loukoumades…read moreare topped with everything from lashings of Nutella, salted caramel, crushed pistachios, white chocolate and strawberries. My family and I came here in need of dessert to complete an amazing night. Located in Beverly Hills, the place looks modern with open brick walls and service was warm and friendly. You can choose you Loukoumades from classic plain Loukoumades doused with honey syrup to selection of toppings you can choose from. I had the Loukoumades topped with Nutella and strawberries. The Loukoumades were fluffy and they were freshly made. The Nutella was generously drizzled on top. I had them with Greek coffee. Suffice to say Loukoumades Greek Street is a place that I hope to return to in the near future. Even my kids were confident that we will definitely come back to this place as we bid farewell, I found my kids thanking the staff and told them just that.

Probably the best burger I have had in a long time. The brioche bun, the bacon, the beetroot, the…read morefresh lettuce and tomato and the amazingly moist meat patty made for a wonderful meal The poached eggs on bread with avocado was pretty tasty also The milkshakes were AMAZING. The peanut butter salted caramel was a perfect blend. Both flavours cane through and neither overwhelmed the other The tim tam mike milkshake reminded me of why I like Milo. The whipped cream was REAL cream. The crunch of the tim tam added fun to the drink The vanilla milkshake was an example of a great classic Australian drink.

Stalked them on instagram for a while and decided that it was time to visit. They have indoor and…read moreoutdoor seating with the outdoor they have heaters but they also supply blankets to keep you toasty :). Indoor interior is a mixture of all sorts - which i think adds to its charm. The barista mentioned that he gets most of the various items from an antique shop in Redfern. The tables are covered in gloss newspaper style prints mostly black and white with some colour - very interesting. The barista is very friendly and chatty - i forgot to get his name. Ordered a cappachino and the Mushroom Bruschetta - Roast mushroom, pumpkin puree, proscuitto, pesto and eggs. WoW! Amazing! Didn't have to wait too long also for the meal. By the time i left all tables indoors was taken and they had a few people waiting on take aways. After ordering i noted that they serve milo milkshakes and freshly squeezed juices! Will definitely have to come back to try those and their warm winter salads. Overall, great first time visit! Will be back!

Churros, coffee, hot chocolate...what's not to love here? The people here are so friendly and…read morewelcoming it just wants to make you come here like everyday! Full disclosure, we actually came here 4 times in one week! That's how good this place is! And dare I say this, but the churros here come very close to Disneyland churros. Yes I said it and I don't regret it! It isn't exactly like Disney churros, in fact, it's a bit different. Think of it like Disney churros little cousin. While Disney churros are known for its size, soft and pillowy inside, crunchy on the outside and super flavorful, San Churros is a smaller version of that. They also have filled churros (which I have yet to try!). This place is rarely ever packed but it could be because we go there at odd hours (like 2 pm or 4 pm). But I will say that it's never empty either. The churro pops are like a fried donut with a twist. If you've ever had malasada before, this is like this little cousin as well. The coffee was on point and that hot chocolate?! Let me give you all a fair warning, it's not thicc for nothing! You better have the stomach for that Spanish hot chocolate. Needless to say, I will be returning...multiple times lol!

Really civilised, even if you come here on a weekend…read more I always go for the new Spanish Marshmallow El Grande ($6.95) hot chocolate. Love the marshmallows and chocolate sauce on top, in a really cool glass with a double message "sweeten thy soul" inside. The chocolate is rich, and thankfully full table service and unlimited water at the front counter is a godsend. Cool runnings, and I also brought one of their hot chocolate cups for $9.95. They do keep any drink warmer for longer. They have a good kid-friendly area too. Basic, yet good.

I am a man who has eaten a lot of banh mi. That's not hubris, or understatement. Merely a fact. (O…read morethe ascetic pleasure of an unadulterated fact!) Vina dish up the biggest, freshest, most packed bad boy I've ever tasted. I'm not kidding when I say they jam the topping in there, there's handfuls of shredded carrot, acres of coriander, and you better believe they get liberal with the chilli. Oh, I know banh mi are cheap, but why for places gotta scrimp on the toppings? I want my crusty bread roll pimped out. Vina know this, and they're the best pimps going around.

This little Australian Vietnamese bakery brings together the best of two cultures' baking…read moretraditions, or three if you think about. All the classics are here like finger buns, neenish tarts, giant lamingtons and cheese and bacon rolls, as well as crusty French baguettes and a little counter for putting together fresh bahn mi, all going for a bit of loose change. Their 80c choc chip panini buns are my top choice when I'm just a little peckish, have a chocolate craving, feeling cheap or just plain indecisive.

The guys at Bertoni Balmoral transferred here from their now closed operation on Vista Street in…read moreMosman. By heading down to the beach they're now housed at the perfect location for their bright, breezy service style. I'm greeted with a 'Hello Gorgeous' by the Barista who remembers my order, though I don't come here daily. They dish up hearty, fresh Italian cuisine and I've enjoyed all manner of tasty food from them over the years. I love the fact that they sell their wraps in half measures, so you can mix and match flavours or keep it light, so you can fill up on their delicious sweet items. My son loves the cute chocolate cupcakes they sell, in fact they're the only cakes he will eat (I often wonder if he is indeed mine). They come with a variety of jelly characters on the top and my kid is a fan of the pink penguin. Apparently there are hysterical meltdowns if the favoured character is not available. Apparently. When I was there yesterday, they were pushing the 'Cimbelle alla Nutella', an Italian doughnut slathered with Nutella and then squashed in the sandwich press. Nice idea but if I actually ate that I'd have to run home to sit on the toilet like Elvis. Glorious spot with glorious personable staff. Go.

Great breakfast location (7am-11am), 7 days…read more 10 tables outside, under canvas. Take-away also. Love their poached eggs, and they understand coffee. Friendly staff - order at the counter then be seated. You can also pre-order coffees on approach, using Beat-The-Queue app. But coffee is usually ready and at your table within 3 mins. Crowded weekends - test it out Monday to Friday.

The set-up here is quite different from their original café - located amongst the food court style collection of eateries on Level 4, it's a free-standing stall surrounded by communal seating. They serve the same pre-made sandwiches sitting in the glass display case, but I was surprised that the range of sweet pastries was pretty minimal - perhaps this was just as it was already the afternoon. They also sell alcohol, probably as a result of their location right beneath the cinemas one floor up. As expected, my coffee was just as good as what they serve elsewhere, which I had with a custard tart for afternoon tea - the sweet filling was speckled with nutmeg and served in a shallow, crumbly pastry base. Yum!

First time visit here saw me purchase the 'poached eggs with avocado and salmon' and a Coke Zero…read more The eggs, salmon and avo were all great, and the drink was cold, but I have a few criticisms: Don't put salt and pepper on your meals without asking the customer first - it may not be wanted or needed, to begin with - leave this up to the customer. Is it utterly necessary to burn your toast to a crisp?! Again, maybe the customer should be consulted as to how they want their toast cooked? Other than that, I found the service to be rather slow. Would I return? I can't say at this time.
