    Opens at 5 am weekdays, a big plus, bright, clean and friendly service. Good selection of pastries, build your own sandwiches, and a good comfy seating area. Practices contact tracing and are COVID safe with sanitizer at the entrance.

    You get what you see! Awesome delicious and healthy Salats, Sandwiches and Coffee spezialities. I've been walking around through Sydney while Sightseeing and stopped at Lime's forlunch. First i was pretty impressed how friendly the staff was. The Salad bar is pretty awesome it not only looked really good it also tasted good. Chicken Salads, Beetroot Salat with Chickpeas, Greek Salat and much more different kinds of salats and pasta as well i think. I took a big box mixed with the three i mentioned and it was delicious. I can't tell anything about the quality of the Coffee cause i dont drink Coffee but due to the long line at the coffee machine i think they are serving a pretty good one. Worth a visit if you're hungry and in the Darling Harbour Area!

    Amazing coffee, baked goodies & fresh food.!!!! This place is awesome for breakfast with great combo deals which allow you to get one of their pastries or toast with a coffee. Not my kinda thing but the b&e rolls seem to be a real draw card

    I don't really think this review will do this place justice as obviously I am missing out on something. I have seen the lunch time rush this place gets so obviously it is doing something right, but I decided to review the "espresso" side of the business (as coffee is kinda my thing...). First off, the service I got here was great. Everyone looked friendly and seemed pretty stress free. Probably worth noting that I went here during the morning prep time, so it was pretty empty. (The service is the main reason I gave this review a 3 and not a 2...) The coffee however was nothing special. It certainly is miles away from the worst coffee I have had in Sydney, but neither was it outstanding. The coffee crema was good, and it was not over espressed or burnt, so it must have been the beans that let it down. In any case, with all the awesome coffee available in this area, I would not come back here for the coffee.

    They were very kind and courteous, awesome service! Even better coffee! If you're ever in a hurry and need to make a quick stop for a coffee run, this is YOUR place

    Fresh!!!

    So I'm back for another review! How can I come to this place 3-4 times a week and not give it 5 stars. The staff are always so friendly - you're almost part of the family. Tried a chicken wrap for the first time last week and that went down a treat too. Can't speak on behalf of the entire CBD but if you work close to Market and York, this HAS to be your local!

    Back for another lunch and grabbed a slow cooked pork sanga and a single o espresso to get me through the day! Got to love those columbian beans!

    Cute little espresso bar. I ordered a cold brew and it was given to me in a bottle - please get cups, it looks weird walking around the city in the morning with a bottle. Lunch options looked great and fresh as well.

    Nice people and coffee. But not a place to sit down and enjoy a quiet time with your coffee or book. It's Mainly for business or office people to come and get their lunch I think.

    Nice spot but where do I begin? I'm always torn when coming to a place but not fully experiencing…read moreit. This place was recommended to us by a local family friend. We came in thinking it was just a coffee shop, but it's essentially a restaurant that also has a focus on coffee. They have a full bar and a window to the outside where you can order just coffee and tea to go. As for the interior it's dimly lit and sort of has romantic date night vibes. We essentially only ordered coffee and one person ordered a cake slice. The lychee cake was pretty good per my aunt. A couple people ordered the Coco Loco, which is basically an espresso martini on steroids with Nutella and something like a Ferrero Rocher. I ordered a latte and their Affogato. The latte was very smooth and BI is arguably one of the best I've ever had. Is the Affogato a cheat code because they use like a tiramisu ice cream? You could argue that case. You can also buy their blends of coffee beans, subject to availability. While the latte was very smooth, I can't say it was mind blowing but it was still pretty good.

I also reserve 4 and 5 star reviews for exceptional service with unforgettable dining experiences. The ambience is intimate but also noisy. I will say the coffee here and in Australia in general is some of the best coffee I've ever had. I ordered (2) espresso martinis, pancakes, and the sirloin steak breakfast with a side hashbrown. My pancakes were stone cold but I will say the aesthetics on it made it edible. The pistachio butter cream was to die for. My steak was ok ; for the price I simply just wanted more. I could be wrong but I doubt it was even 6oz. If you have this place on your radar be sure to make reservations. This goes for almost every restaurant in Sydney. My server was Cassie who was very personable and even gave us tips on what to watch out for dining in Sydney.

Our drinks were out in 3-5 minutes and our food was out within about 5-7 minutes after. As soon as we finished we were given our checks to pay at the front. I think we were here for only 45 minutes and it was amazing! I started out with the iced strawberry matcha and my husband had their iced mocha. The iced mocha was good but the iced strawberry matcha was flawless. The strawberries were so fresh and the matcha was just perfect itself. Great combo together! My husband had the free range eggs on toast and I had the eggs Benedict. His was delicious but the eggs Benedict was amazing. The crispy kale really sold me as it was delectable in each bite. Eggs were poached to perfection and the truffle hollandaise was just delicious. Couldn't have had a better experience if we tried!

For a larger party, coming in with a reservation was convenient since they are pretty busy and change tables often. Service staff were efficient and very friendly. Ordering was easy as well. Their seasonal specials is definitely worth the look over. I had the peanut butter shake and although it didn't look it, it tasted very much like peanut butter in liquid form. I also got to try the summer breeze watermelon salad. That was refreshing. It had a mix of greens, dressing, feta and a crisp prosciutto. I've never had prosciutto served fried; it was delicious. The whole piece married well, and I wish I knew the background of how it was created. I loved every bite! Although the place was crowded, it can still be intimate. Besides indoor seating, they also have a patio and seating outside.

    Create your own salads and get exactly what you want!…read more I've walked by this place several times and had been meaning to go in. Had been eating crappy food lately and needed a nice salad to make myself feel healthy again. Came here with my coworker for lunch. I went in the line and the girl asked if it was my first time,was it that obvious? It's cause you have to grab a salad box in the beginning and then you can either get one of their already made salads or create your own. I accidentally grabbed the large box (would have been fine with the medium) and added my toppings - you are allowed 7 - marinate tofu (50 cents extra), mushroom, chick peas, cucumber, beetroot, tomatoes and broccoli - there was so much to choose from! She asked if I wanted chicken and I thought the tofu was enough but they had pesto and tandoori flavored chicken, so I opted for the pesto (2 bucks extra). My salad ended up being $13 but I think I could have got it for about 9 and been full. Also comes with some brown bread. Good place, fresh ingredients, will come back.

A common catch cry reflective of our good intentions to eat healthy…read morefood but never seem to happen in reality due to busy schedules, unplanned meetings, deadlines, the list goes on. So we succumb to that chicken schnitzel sandwich or creamy pasta from the foodcourt. High in carbs and fat. Diet truly starts tomorrow. Well there is now a healthy takeaway option via Saladworks. You get to choose everything from the type of salad leaves, to the ingredients. Add chicken or meat and you end up having a high protein, low fat, low carb lunch that will truly fill you up. I have the regular size salad and I am stuffed by the time I finish. The protein makes me feel full for a longer time and because you feel pretty chuffed for choosing a healthy option, you are more unlikely to go for that 3pm coffee or chocolate because you feel guilty! ;) There are 2 branches that I know of, one on Hunter St and the other in the food court area in the Suncorp Building next to Fitness First Platinum George St. So start your diet today not tomorrow by choosing a healthy lunch-time option through Saladworks!
