We were sat across the restaurant. It's raining but we were sitting under the roof. We ordered a beef brisket sandwich, a tuna melt and The Deb (avocado toast). They were all good especially the brisket sandwich. The meat was very tender and juicy. I love that they used fresh arugula and pickled onion which balanced well with the meat. The tuna melt was very tasty as well. The sourdough bread was well toasted adding some crunchiness. I'll definitely go back for more.

I purchased a cold drink and was able to score a cup of ice to go with it. I also got a raspberry chocolate bar to go with it. Sitting outside, well there are the birds. Can't blame the birds for trying to get some food, but you better be aware that you will have to defend your purchase. The ibis are particularly daring in their pursuit. The biggest nuisance birds do sport a number on them I was told, these are the known trouble makers. Watch out for #91. Besides the birds though, it is a nice little spot to rest and snack. Restrooms are also located nearby.

When we visit Sydney again, I will go out of my way to ensure that I get coffee here again as often as possible during our visit.

With her espresso machine she would make coffee and sell her handmade muffins from a collapsible table. The clientele was either commuters, tourists or for those who had time would sit on wooden stools and bask in the sun. Her clientele was consistent and the view being one of the best of Sydney Harbour. A permanent white box was then designed for her by Burton Katon Halliday where she was able to house a microwave, stove, fridge and her expresso machine and at that time the cafe was called See Sea. The coffee beans are from boutique coffee house Roseberry Street in Manly Vale, Northern Beaches. A Cremorne walk along the harbour can end with a coffee and muffin consumed one of the little wooden chairs and tables, your walk can continue afterwards through to Mosman or Taronga Zoo. Sophie passed away a few years ago and a close friend appealed that this place be remembered as her own. It is now fittingly called Sophie's Place. It is a must visit to Sydney, for the coffee and the views. Ask for Bernie if there is more than one person there but he by far is one of the best Baristas in this city.

It is more of a quick cuppa or take away sandwich place. Not knocking it in any way. I've had a fairly decent bite to eat there and my chai tea was good, albeit not quite hot enough. i just didn't find it comfortable enough to want to hang around beyond my food and drink. It's really small inside and the tables and chairs are pretty close together so you feel a bit squashed and conspicuous. It seems to me that it is more of a meeting place for a coffee and perhaps a treat (of which there are some delicious looking ones) And I don't suppose it claims to be anything else either. Its right there on Fiveways, that great junction in Paddington. So a better location you could not ask for and many of the pre-prepared lunch meals were sold out by the time I got there later on in the afternoon, so clearly it is fairly popular.

Gusto is the perfect place to let the day pass by as you sip a macchiato and munch on sweet treats. This café and delicatessen reminds me of ones you would find in Europe, with locals socializing here habitually. My cappuccino was above average and executed with precision. Their banana bread is a divine slice of heaven on a plate. I also tried a fudge brownie with chocolate chips that was intensely sweet but packed an equally strong cocoa punch. Gusto also sells a variety of fresh paninis, wraps, and salads that will tickle anyone's taste buds. I would suggest that you try your hardest to get a seat outside to marvel at the harbor views. Also, you're a people-watcher like me, this is the place to do it. People flock to Gusto on a regular basis, so you might find yourself waiting to get a seat. Even so, you can still experience their tasty sandwiches on the go. The servers aren't very approachable or welcoming, but they do their job well.

First sip of coffee and I almost spat it back in the cup, it was absolutely horrible! It was an extremely burnt cup of milk. The breakfast bruschetta was covered in rocket and not much of anything else. It was really upsetting as the first time the food was really good and the coffee was actually decent! The boy said the milkshake was good however the beef patty was different to last time as it appeared to have lentils in it. The taste too was a lot stronger and overpowering than last time.

If you dont mind the 80s quality latte, then stay because everything else is pretty good. See? I was torn....all I wanted was a good coffee to finish off with.
