I love this Cafe in the land of Cafes that is Summer Hill…read more It's the courtyard shaded by a lovely Jacaranda tree. It's the great service when you eat in. Although the front area for take away coffee is awks. Cramped and you feel a little bit like a douche standing around inside waiting for yours. Sorry, I digress... I'm always crabby when I have to wait more than oh.. 0.7 seconds for my coffee. It has recently had a change of management.. The owners of Sideways Cafe in Dulwich hill now own it. They didn't change much which is always good. If it aint broke don't fix it. Coffee is reliably good. Food is pretty top notch. Always check the specials board for the good gear. I recently had a Pulled pork and Slaw wrap. I'm glad to see they are keeping up with the Joneses on the whole Pulled pork thing. I also love their Breakfast Burrito. It's on point. I think that's a term?

A very cute cafe that has a really great courtyard in the back. And although they don't have wifi,…read morethey do have plenty of power points (not in the courtyard, but in the indoor areas). The staff are perfectly happy to let you sit there and hang out with your laptop. The cute gallery-style layout make it a very cozy and comfortable place to hang out with a book, newspaper, or just a good friend. The coffee was very good but the orange juice was even better. It's completely freshly squeezed and is just really refreshing. I would definitely come back here again or recommend it to anyone who needs a quiet retreat.

Chaos exists for one purpose and one purpose only - BREAKFAST…read more Oh, I know, I know, they do lunch as well, but the other Yelp reviews of this joint cover that off adequately enough, and (imho) lunch kind of misses the point. In fact, it totally misses the point, because Chaos' breakfast menu is daring, brazen and nothing short of spectacular. Nowhere else in Sydney offers a brekkie menu like these food bandits have rustled up. My hands-down favourite? the BACON POT HASH, a gigantic plate of bacon, mushrooms, potato, tomato, onion, and gravy ladled onto a coupla pieces of thick cut toast. The greatest hangover cure known to mankind. The corn fritters on a bed of salsa are also pretty radical - ask for a side dish of minced jalapeno chili to really kickstart your morning. They smash eggs benny, muesli, fresh juices and smoothies too, as well as all your other standard brekkie fare, but their signature items are where it's at. And, as a bonus, if you finish one of their colossal meals you get a plaque on the wall. Fine you don't really, but the meals are seriously big enough to choke an Orc. Killer, just killer. Get involved on a sunny mid-morning after a late night out on the tiles.

With it's multi-coloured mosaic floor and hand-painted chairs with words scrawled across the back…read morelike "LOVE", "CHAOS" and, randomly, "BEER" (or am i imagining that? there was something funny!), Chaos is a happy little hippy-esque paradise tucked behind the Neutral Bay shops. Tucked away though it is though, noone seems to have trouble finding the place, or certainly not in the lunchtime rush. As I was waiting for my coffee I saw the most amazing looking schnitzel burgers pass me from the kitchen-and that's coming from a vegetarian- cementing my decision to give Chaos a red-hot go for food next time I'm in the area. The coffee was good but not great so I'm still on a mission to find the best soy piccolo in Neutral Bay... watch this space...

Walking around Manly one evening we noticed one place that seemed really packed compared to…read moreeverything around. That place was In Situ, we took the crowd as a vote of confidence and decided to have dinner there the next night. We were not disappointed! The place is adorable, with lots of plants and a very upscale boho vibe. We were eating early, around 5 pm and many of the tables were already reserved so I would recommend calling in advance for a reservation. They have a generous happy hour from 4-7pm which had $10 cocktails, discounted beer, discounted appetizers, and half off pizzas. The lychee Martini was fantastic and the goat cheese pizza was the best pizza we have had in Australia by a long shot! It was sweet and rich and had a great mix of flavors. I would love to go back to try more items on the menu.

I was once put off by raw food cuisine but this place turned my perception around. I wanted to be…read moreopen-minded about trying a new place that people talked about. Sure enough, I was impressed. The flavors were not bold yet, spectacular! We had multiple dishes; mushroom ceviche, Mediterranean roll, spaghetti huancaina and a special brownie w/banana ice cream and kombocha that had a nice surprise kick. I took home a bag of spiced coconut chips from their in-house product line that I am looking forward to try. The service was great. Both Dave and Raphael were super friendly and enthusiastic about what they do. I love the fact that most of the furniture is up-cycled and created by Raphael. They are aware and conscious of their mission with this healthy, inspiring and most delicious food. Support this plant based business- it is officially my favorite restaurant in all of Bondi.

Î was super excited to try this newly opened raw food, gluten and dairy Free restaurant…read more Unfortunately It did not live up to expectations. We tried 2 mains for lunch supposedly most "filling" options - spaghetti - Green curry Both dishes felt quite bland, terribly missing seasoning and spices. Raw food can be boring if not twisted with the right ingrédients and balanced properly...and î did not think that the balance was there for these 2. Tried the kale, Apple, ginger and turmeric juice and IT was too sweet for my liking and the texture a bit off. The space is Nice, minimalistic feel but can get quite noisy with a large communal table and high ceilings that echo...

Chimi churi cafè in Chatswood is the most instagrammable cafès we have come across. The owners,…read morepreviously of Local Embassy in Pyrmont have brought their game to the north. The cafè is hidden in the back streets but despite this, the cafe is very popular, which shows their food is bringing in a crowd. The cafe has a cool set up, with a number of indoor and outdoor tables, there are also a couple of communal tables. As you walk in there is a large mural painted on the wall of an interesting character, with a tweaked moustache which is a reflection of the interesting and quirky menu on offer. Then, a range of visually appealing plates started to arrive at the table for us to photograph and share. The signature being the black benedict which is a soft shell crab burger with squid ink hollandaise. The bun, a black brioche which gets its colour from charcoal. This dish is not only visually appealing, but also very tasty and unlike any burger we have tried before. For bacon lovers the 'lick my bacon' is right up your alley. A thick cut bacon steak, cue Homer Simpson drooling mmmmm bacon. This served on a freshly baked red striped croissant with a has brown and haloumi and a side 100% Canadian Maple Syrup. Need I say more? Other notable breakfast options were the Chimi Churi eggs. Poached eggs, labneh, chilli oil, Chimichuri dukkah sauce and freshly baked artisan bread. Keep an eye out for the Cola Bowl which will be a new addition to the menu. A tasty yogurt bowl served with toasted granola, fruit and for a bit of a twist a cola syrup drizzled on top. The lunch menu may not be as grammable, but tasty and had some healthy options available. The stuffed calamari with a bit of South American flair. This dish with a nice flavour combination of chicken mince, chorizo, chimichuri salsa with a tasty parsnip and beetroot cream. The seared tuna, another healthy option served with a pineapple salsa and nicely plated too. The lunch menu is not at all healthy, with Chimi Churi doing a decent mac and cheese with triple cheese pork and bacon. The fried chicken bites were also very more-ish and the seasoned chips that came with the chicken, unbelievably tasty. They also have some great options for those with a sweet tooth. The nutella french toast, nice and fluffy with fairy floss a mini jar of nutella and served with some fresh fruit. The pannacotta another beautifully plated dish, very photogenic. A nice sweet finish a textural dish with the smoothness of the pannacotta, the macadamia crumb, a airy sponge, sauced with the berry coulis. As mentioned one of the most grammable cafes we have been to. The owners are perfectionists and the menu is well balanced with something for everyone. The food is not only very photogenic, the food is also tasty. Worth travelling to Chatswood to try some cool dishes and to get some great shots for your instagram feed.

I really like this place. Out of the way from the main part of Chatswood, it is a nice cafe…read more Problem is it is in the middle of a business area - so some people don't like the surrounding area. However, ignoring that, this cafe is awesome. Firstly, the coffee here is good. Not the best cafe you'll get but good enough to get a second cup. Which I did. It is a little bit lighter, so if you like a darker brew, might want to order a double shot - just a warning. The finest thing about this cafe is the food. Now, it is slightly on the 'smaller' portion side. But it is quite good. Everything we order was extremely tasty. And the staff here are extremely helpful and friendly.

Great spot for breakfast; nice vibe, good coffees, tasty food and high chairs…read more We headed up here for an early breakfast in winter on a Monday morning. We had our 10 month old in tow and it was surprisingly great. We ordered 2 coffees, plus the avocado with tomato and fetta and just eggs on toast. Prices are reasonable (approx $12 a meal) and the service was lovely. Lots of delicious looking pastries and sweets and the coffee was good. For an out of the way spot in NB, there was a steady takeaway coffee crowd so we weren't the only ones that liked it. That they have high chairs is a massive win in our book and makes breakfast so much easier with a little guy. For winter, there are quite a few tables inside which is nice.
