    Perfect coffee, awesome fresh squeezed juices and a great (and fast) breakfast. Eggs benny were a perfect interpretation and the Frenchie was a French toast variation with a dollop of gelato that melted into a beautiful sauce.

    This place has so many options for coffee so it's a coffee lovers dream! Also amazing breakfast options. So unique. They have several coffee options in the back. First one seems to be American coffee. Second one I got and was good. Third is French press which I assume most know. Third is a cold option- maybe a cold brew? We also got to go the day before and their Nutella latte and cold brew are good. However, the issue I had is the girls working there have no clue about the coffee. The owner was there and seemed to know but he needs to educate his staff. They had no clue how to answer any of my coffee questions. The breakfast was phenomenal and so unique. The non bread lover breakfast was so good with fresh salmon and the fritter was amazing! My hubby loved his French toast. Wasn't too heavy but came with ice cream and banana and berries and coconut on top! Yum! Highly recommend just make sure to ask the owner about any questions.

    Stopped by here for a pick me up to power through my jet lag. Got a flat white which is a latte and it was really good - mild and smooth. Didn't get a chance to check out anything else but they also have food.

    A nice cosy cafe with good food and coffee. We stopped in around 9am on a Wednesday and was able to get a table but it was busy, there also was a constant crowd outside waiting for takeaway coffees. My Bacon Bennie was good but also fell flat in bits, my eggs had cooked through and the bacon didn't taste great. My wife's Breakfast Bruschetta was great, good runny eggs and nice flavour. The cappuccino and Nutella mocha were good, I can understand the crowd out front. Service was mixed, just 2 wait staff running all the tables so it was understandable they were distracted but still pleasant and we weren't waiting long for most things. Overall a nice spot to sit and have some brekkie but didn't blow my socks off.

    Popular and enjoyable modern restaurant in the CBD. Nice patio. The menu selection is small but original and delicious. Wait staff is pleasant and they do a good service. The pastries will make you drool! Go to Motown for a nice relaxing breakfast.

    Stopped for morning coffee. Standard almond milk latte. Well done! Used unsweetened almond milk which is WONDERFUL!! Place is popular with a takeaway window and seating area with patio offers nice opportunity to get your daily fix. Cheers!

    My husband and I ordered too much food! I got the brekki plate which was a really big portion. And he got 2 eggs your way and a croissant. Oh and we got hot chocolate. The good was great and fresh! But the service could use some work. Once we got our food, they never came back to check up in us to see if we need anything whar especially water, which by the way had bugs in it. Food wise, great spot!

    Fantastic little cafe off. Very fast service and super polite. My latte was great, and the BLAT was a great breakfast option.

    Regular cappuccino and large Nutella Mocha

    Nutella mocha was a new flavor for me. Nice relaxing music. Window seating to people watch. Small tables all over to site and enjoy the indoor/outdoor patio. Open concept area. Quite the spot for the CBD locals. Outside window for take away orders makes it convenient for people on the go. Breakfast and lunch food items with the usual coffee beverages such as the flat white, cappuccino, etc. with the exception of my Nutella Mocha. Comes with a small almond biscotti.

    Beef bacon benedict. Aeropress single origin coffee. Sourdough toast with butter and Vegemite.
    Sean H.

    I had their Aeropress, beef bacon bennie, and sourdough toast with butter and Vegemite. It was all very tasty! The coffee was fruity and not over roasted or bitter at all. The eggs were poached perfectly, too! Also, the service was fantastic--she was very friendly and handled my American accent and slow understanding in stride. Definitely a good breakfast/brunch

    Motown Turkish toast with peanut butter and hash browns.
    Minh P.

    The food was very tasty, and well presented. The prices were a little steep for breakfast (most items were $10+), but the portion size was good and everyone in my group left feeling full. I ordered the Go Bananas, and requested bananas on top instead of strawberries and they happily obliged. The service was quite good here; the people are nice. They also have free wifi! You just have to ask. Seating is both outdoor and indoor. If you eat there, you sit down and someone takes your order. If you take away, you order at the counter like you would at a typical coffee shop. Breakfast is served all day, but they also have a lunch menu. I would recommend to individuals or small groups! The menu is diverse with both classic breakfast items and some more creative ones. The vibe is quite hipster (presentation and music). I docked a star for price mainly.

    Great location. Close to parking. Very cool decor. Outdoor seating. Walk up window service. High quality ingredients. Wonderful service. And the best chai latte I've ever had. A very extensive menu; something for everyone at a reasonable-for-Sydney price.

    Motown egg bake

    Delicious breakfast! I tried the Motown egg bake with tomato sauce and chorizo and was not disappointed. Hubby played it safe with more scrambled eggs than he could eat. We wanted to fight over the thick and delicious banana bread!

My golly, the stracciatella, chilli & hazelnut toast is to die for!!! You can add more to it such as heirloom cherry tomatoes, avocados, greens; garlic roasted field mushrooms, pork sausage, eggs or smoked ocean trout. I opted for scrambled eggs and it was a breakfast for champions NGL. Soooo good! Paired with the orange blossom matcha milk, I'm in heaven! I'm not really a citrusy kinda girl but that combo was divine. I needed more caffeine though for my long day ahead so I got a large mocha-- just the buzz I needed. The vibe is very aesthetic, industrial chic with high ceilings. Love the tables as well as the pitchers that look like Aesop bottles haha. I was really torn between the shokupan yuzu French toast and stracciatella, chilli and hazelnut toast but I'm glad I went with savory. Absolutely what I needed for today's adventures. Service was amazing. I was seated immediately but I came 15 mins after they opened so that's probably why. I'm so happy I added PCP to my Sydney itinerary.

Except that it only works, the manager told me, if you are dining in the little restaurant, which can be kind of hard since it's not large and sometimes quite crowded. But they will bring the food to you in the hotel. I had breakfast most of the mornings I was there, sitting in the lobby, working on my laptop while my daughter slept in upstairs. They even, one morning, came over to confirm something about my order that I'd forgotten to note--very nice. The food was good. My only complaint is that the toast was overtoasted, even a little burnt. But that seems to be par for the course for restaurants in Australia--it happened other places as well, including in Adelaide. One morning my daughter ordered the avocado on toast, and she said that it was just guac. IDK. But overall, it was good and convenient and the service was very good.

I felt the prices were high for the quality of food and service. We both had the Chilli Eggs and while my husband enjoyed his I was expecting something with more flavour because of the name of the dish and the ingredients. There were no potatoes served with the dish, just sourdough toast under the eggs, so I felt the serving size did not justify the price. $21.00 for 2 eggs with no spice and toast. Seriously!! I would not recommend. There is no service. The whole experience did not provide value for the money.

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.
