We ordered a long black, flat white and green tea. They were great. The server was from Albania and he was so kind and friendly. He reminded me of Robin Williams. I love the vibe and will come back again.

chocoholics ahoy - this is your Mecca!…read more A fancy chandelier light cafe with a passion for chocolate and chocolate based happiness. Sink into a comfy brown leather couch as you decide which treat you will try today.... This is a place worthy of a visit on 'cheat day'! They have a range of desserts including pancakes, macaroons, fondu and cakes! They also will serve you tea with your cakes or if you prefer a tasty cocktail (try the love-tini)! This is a popular place in the dining district and worth checking out if you have room after dinner!

Patisserie, gourmet sandwiches and café. "It's a piece of cake."…read more Just one though. I'm kidding; theres more than one piece of cake. You can choose from 3 or 4. Serious. Not a huge selection, but the place itself if quite small, you cant expect a Woolworths bakery selection. And what is there is good stuff; slice and lemon tarts, macaroons and other sweets. It's a nifty little pitt-stop in your day, a little quieter than a lot of the streets around, so you can relax with a coffee and cake. But you cant really go there very day without getting bored in my opinion. Although, the other Bain-marie was turned off - maybe they'll stock up a bit more tomorrow. You can also have a sandwhich, they'll whipo you up something for a good price. But at the end of the day, its no Sydney icon, just a small-town eatery with a few of the good things we all enjoy. And it's pretty out of the way too.

I love this place!…read more It's a great sandwich shop for lunch, probably the most affordable and delicious sandwiches in the city! For the days when you want something a bit different the healthy salads or Vietnamese rolls are a good alternative. They also offer a good selection of extremely tempting cake slices as a special lunch time treat. I recommend the carrot cake or a choc brownie..... the cupcakes probably need a bit of work though......They also have entire cakes for sale, which I see people buying pretty frequently but I'm yet to indulge in an entire cake for lunch. My only gripe is that this place often starts closing up around 2ish. They offer a few seats on the street, but my tip is to take the short walk to the alfred park and enjoy your sandwich there.

If there's one word to describe this place, it'd be cute. Cute hipster Asian decor, cute cartoons…read moreon the food labels, cute cake decorations, cute coffee art, cute little Korean girls at the cashier, cute serving sizes... It's all just so cute!! But I guess cuteness comes at a price, because things here are just a bit exxy by Asian standards. Sure, you'd probably expect to pay $7 for a smoothie, $6 for an iced coffee or $9 for a slice of cake in any other cafe but somehow it just seems wrong when you're in Eastwood. But hey, it tastes good and it looks SO FREAKING CUTE so I'll let it slide. Service can be a bit iffy, with several tables staying uncleared for the whole time I was there and staff not being able to explain several items on their menu. And be prepared to carry your own food and drinks with you if you sit upstairs. These guys are open til late, so it's usually packed on any night of the week with students and their laptops using the wifi. But hey, they're probably pretty cute too so it all just adds to the charm.

There's plenty of things to love at Pishon. Great variety of drinks, bread and cake selections. I…read morerecommend you to try the cream cheese filled bread and their Profiteroles, the fillings are so light and creamy. The service is basic and the staff were friendly. Their coffee is what I would describe as drinkable, not the worst coffee I've ever tasted but I had better coffees. But I find this place endearing. Maybe it's the cute decor that can make you feel like you're in the middle of some Korean soaps. Or maybe great moments I shared with loved ones over a delicious cake or two that it has become a tradition to come here whenever we're in the area.

Sweet Belem seems popular,always someone in there…read more My rating is what I ordered I believe because there is too many sweet options in here Tried the pineapple cake,strange texture and taste,not sure if I tasted any pineapple! The Chila tart was strange also,it looks like strings of shredded coconut but it isn't. It's sticky and stringy and has a strong taste which my taste buds didn't enjoy I So far,pretty bad experience but I'll re review if I come back

A friend actually introduced me to this place. A cute Italy style patisserie. Great coffee, great…read moreservice. Excuse my 'shouting' for a moment, however it is those PORTUGUESE TARTS that are a hit. I met up with a friend at around 2:30pm on a Saturday afternoon, and it looked like the heavens were looking after us as there were only two tarts left. They are worth the fuss - they are sooooo delicious. Then again Petersham is home to the Portugese, and for me this Inner West haven is the home of the iconic Portuguese Tart with cinnamon! NB: Hi guys, Internet issues so will upload the picture later!

It is also opposite a cake shop that makes the best treats I know. You've got to try the caramel nuns. Not a lot of seats, but the waitresses are quick and attentive so the turn over of customers is quick. The coffee shops makes a range of light meals. For the location...maybe more on the expensive side. If you've had a day of shopping and you want to put your feet up for a while this is a good central spot.

This is it. We promised a dessert to take to a meal at a friend's but had run out of time to do a home made one. Of course, that means you can't get away with the sponge, cream and jam combo. These little tartlets hit the spot and were the only things available when we finally found the place. Next time, I am doing an order as the website shows some pretty cool looking tarts.

Don't get me wrong-this is good, standard cafe food, but a little pricey. This French/Lebanese…read morebakery and cafe is famous among locals for its breads, cakes, Aussie pies, quiches, sausage rolls and other pastries. I tried their famous Bakerman Bacon and Egg Roll and sure enough, it lived up to the hype-a gorgeous dollop of mayo and crunchy bacon snuggled in a crusty bun. But. What's up with the $8.50 price tag? At the end of the day it's just bread, bacon and eggs. I washed this down with a coffee (the Molinari brand) and it was ok if a little bland. One time I stopped for lunch and chose the spinach and ricotta quiche with a side salad ($9.50). It was exactly what I was after (I love cheese!) but it was on the small side-the salad almost took over the plate but it certainly wasn't the star. There was not enough dressing; the leaves were a little dry. There IS something about this place that keeps me coming back though. It has a really tranquil atmosphere and is a great alternative for breakfast or lunch if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of nearby King St in Newtown. There are also gluten-free menu options and free Wi-Fi. The cosy village square is great for kids to run around after school while you sip your latte and people watch. Just don't let the kids see the $6.50 fruit smoothies. Great ambience and service but costly food you could get pretty much anywhere.

The milk coffees are also good, but the bean is good enough, so worth the try as a shot. I honestly have never had the food here so I can't comment.

Saying that, there is a park on the opposite side so you can just get take away.
