I had a cappuccino takeaway and, in hindsight, should have ordered a double shot as, the single shot was a bit too weak, which suggests one of two things a) too much milk and less foam or b) coffee not strong enough. I think it was too milky to qualify as a cappuccino in my opinion making it a bit weak. The place itself is quite nice and has a good vibe to it. It's small and there is some outdoor seating. The breads and pastries looked good. Places like this never existed in Manly years ago when I lived there and glad that a few of these have come up in the last few years.

Firstly, after mentioning our fav types of wine, the waitress gave us great tips on which wine we would most likely be into. In turn we ended up with a very inexpensive wine that was at the same time amazing. We ordered the arancini balls chef special to start. Instead of the usual intense deep fried small arancini you would get at most Italian joints in Sydney, we received deliciously large BAKED arancini balls.. They were absolutely to die for. I seriously hope they become a part of the regular menu for next time we come here. Having the word Pizza in the restaurant title made us certain to order pizzas for our first visit. I'm glad we did. First was the pepperoni, which was the first perfectly balanced pepperoni pizza I've had. By simply adding capsicum (red peppers) they made what is regularly known as an intense pizza, something truly delightful and wholesome. Secondly was the extremely fun, 'quattro formaggio' aka the 4 cheese pizza.. No messing around here. A straight up cheesefest on a pizza. Perfect remedy for any mildly hungover couple. Be sure to ask for a side of chili oil as that, drizzled lightly over the Quattro Formaggio is a dangerously tasty combination. Lastly, to feel a touch more human and break up all the fun we thought we oughta grab a side of Italian salad. It had its purpose and most certainly did its job. The tables at this place are dressed in gorgeous checkered Italian tablecloths and from every vibe I got, this is a family owned and operated restaurant. My partner and I are already extremely excited about coming here on a regular basis as it ticks all the boxes.

One can only imagine the life of solitude and distress awaiting those who cannot enter a regular bakery and order a bagel, or a lemon tart.. but no more! Choices to the rescue! Previously, I might've thought that gluten-free products would taste inferior to gluten-filled ones... but eh, not really! Gluten-free tastes almost exactly the same! I tried their apple & cinnamon danish pastry, and it was marvelous. Nothing inferior about Choices' products!

We order Masala dosa, Dosadilla and 6 taste thali. The food was yummy and quantity is meant to be shared. Only disappointment, I had was in the sambhar served with masala dosa was actually the same daal served with thali. Besides, quantity of dal with dosa was mere the size of chutney- which took me by surprise. I felt that was a joke. But oh well! We wanted to try ice creams but it was almost time for closing. But. Gelatissimo is right across the place. Seating is very limited and signage is not very clear. We walked past it the first time. Parking could be a challenge, but so is for any restaurant on that street.

At Cafe Free you can indulge with an American diner style serving of gluten free waffles or enjoy a bacon and egg gluten free roll to feed your hangover. I'm proud to say I wasn't hungover when I visited Cafe free so I chose the waffle route - its not everyday you see waffles listed as gluten free on a menu. Ordering gluten free pancakes or waffles is usually disappointing as eateries struggle to create the fluffiness of normal pancakes. I am often faced with a small serving that is sparingly decorated whilst everyone else is enjoying a stack of buttermilk pancakes with banana, ice cream and maple syrup. Not fair. Cafe Free is exempt from this gluten free bias. To my delight I was greeted with an epic stack of waffles covered in caramelised banana, strawberries and decadent dollops of treacle butter. The waffles were thick and doughy (who knew something gluten free could be doughy?), the banana was perfectly crispy and THAT TREACLE BUTTER. The dollops were initially intimidating and I felt pretty guilty watching them melt amongst the grid of the waffle but I finished the whole plate. No regrets. I was full for the rest of the day but if you had to choose one meal to last you the day you want to make it waffles from Cafe Free. Outside of the waffle experience is a menu full of items that we are used to seeing as gluten full. At Cafe Free you'll find wraps that don't crack, gluten free Vegemite spread and a steak sandwich on the menu. Beyond their breakfast and lunch menu they offer $20 take home dinners and are looking at moving into the evening with tapas. There were also talk of gluten free lasagna - win. All of this is thanks to their Chef, Zoe, and her family and friends who have come together to provide a gluten and lactose free dining experience. On arrival I am greeted by Zoe's brother, Adam and am served by one of Zoe's friends and her mum. Even amongst people buzzing in and out for a late breakfast or takeaway coffee, you can really feel that family element. Speaking with Zoe I learnt about her seasonal menu and experimentation with the baked goods that are on display in store and on social media (so you can't escape that almond milk custard tart that you've been thinking about all week). There is certainly plenty to look forward to as Cafe Free grows. Watch this space.
