It's a fairly decent sized space with some seating outside, being right next to a public park is good and bad for parking. The service is always friendly and accommodating depending on your group size, probably best to call ahead of time for large groups as its big enough to be a cafe but not large enough to be classified a restaurant in Sydney. All the produce used in the food is fresh and most likely of organic origins (which I'm guessing on the decor and vibe). Simple and clear menu has some classics like a Chicken Schnitzel but done with a humble salad and chipotle that transports your tastebuds. Breakfast has some healthy-ish options but these are taken in consideration with the core component of the meal. Take the Bacon and Egg Roll, it's served as a burger and the barbecue sauce commands the dish. Cakes and pastry is sold as eat-in and take away items (which change every so often), coffee and milkshakes as well. The gingerbread is a favourite of mine - super refreshing for the sinus. At the end of the day, this is a humble little place that 's rustic feel and pastel interiors make it feel homely and the food cements this feeling. A place to return for sure.

Now although my friend says that the coffee is some of the best hes ever had in the Penrith area I'm not a big coffee drinker, so I can't really comment on the quality of the spiced late. What I am is a lover of breakfast food. So I can comment for days on just how good the bacon and eggs are. The all day breakfast menu on offer at the Depot is simple, relatively short but excellent. Everything on there is prepared fresh reasonably priced. Every trip I've taken to the Depot has had me impressed. Not just with the food but with the venue and the staff as well - it's a complete package. The waitresses are friendly and attentive. The furnishings are modern but with a funky industrial vibe. The place is air conditioned (a point that can't be overlooked.) And the scrambled eggs are the best I've ever had. Whack that together with an iced coffee or freshly squeezed orange juice and you've got yourself a perfect brunch.

The Best Breakfast in Ashfield!!!…read more We came across this really cute shop once we exited the train station and it became our go to place every day we were in Sydney!! Food* The food is cooked to order and absolutely delicious. Everyday we ordered something different to make sure to try everything on the menu. The chai tea is probably the best I've ever had. If you are a veggie person please order the vegetarian plate which includes eggs, avocado, mushrooms, tomatoes and buttered toast topped with cheese!! See pics attached! Service* The Service is 5 Stars!! All of the ladies were very helpful and helped us to customize our order to our liking. Atmosphere* Very Chic , clean , really cute decor that fit the size of the place. There is the local paper for customers to read while waiting on their food! Restrooms* Very clean! Highly Recommended!!!!!!!

My friend picked me up from my hotel and we drove out to Birkenhead Point where she bought a bag and we headed to Cav & Co. From first appearances, it looked like a great spot and it was awash with patrons sampling what appeared to be sumptuous burgers and chips. First things first, I ordered a triple shot flat white. Large. What a treat. The blend was quite well roasted for a full bodied blend with a slight bitterness. Loved it. I saw another patron eating a veggie delight salad. So I ordered it. Wow! The aubergine was cooked to perfection. There was the perfect amount of feta in the salad as well. Absolutely loved it. As a regular consumer of meat, this was a very well made salad which really hit the spot. The ambience in the cafe was a relaxed vibe all about great food and great company. Lots of people, lots of conversations. But it wasn't overly loud either. And every time another dish was being delivered I another patron, I had to stop myself from ordering the same. If you love food, you'll love Cav & Co. In the end, we arrived at Cav on a recommendation. Bloody marvellous and well worth the drive.

Once a hole in the wall strictly serving coffee and a few sweets, Ristretto & Co. has evolved into…read morea café hotspot for locals in Sydney's South-West on Northumberland Street Liverpool. A small walkway through the cafe's busy kitchen takes you out to a quaint, rustic style courtyard to sit, relax and enjoy a coffee & brunch with friends to escape the busyness of the world outside. Ristretto & Co. is a local favourite, renowned for its seamless Campos coffee and menu offering a wide all day breakfast menu. We chose a couple of favourites and were recommended to try the waffles - every instagrammers dream! We enjoyed corn and zucchini fritters with aioli, avocado salsa and a poached egg, which had a lovely crunch, yet were still light and fluffy on the inside. The serving was very generous so despite being full, was hard to resist finishing. We also had the smashed avo (with a side of bacon) just to lighten things up which was nice and fresh with the hint of lemon. To satisfy our sweet tooth, we tried some waffles served with vanilla gelato, shredded coconut, salted caramel sauce, fresh berries, maple syrup & Persian pashmak! The presentation of this dish was beautiful with the popping colours of the berries atop the glistening maple syrup and the delicate pashmak on the top. It was hard to pull this one apart! Although this was very sweet, the flavours and textures worked well together and left us very satisfied. We thoroughly recommend visiting Ristretto for an amazing breakfast/brunch.

There is ample seating out the from with the gas heaters but we were soooo cold we opted for indoors. We were here well after three but they were still serving lunch and it looked pretty good.

With plenty of competition in the area the baristas and the pastry cooks need to be on their game. We will definitely detour here for lunch one day.

The cafè is very popular with locals, we arrived mid morning on a Sunday and the cafe was thriving with customers. We initially sat inside and waited for a table outside, with the staff accomodating when it became available. A delightful place to sit and enjoy our breakfast. It was a rainy day, but luckily kept dry by the overhead awnings. The owners very hospitable to everyone visiting their cafe and I understand why locals would keep coming back. We were informed it would be about 30-40 minutes wait due to the high volume of guests but we could order a drink while we waited. It's great to be informed. It also didn't take that long to get our food. The menu is extremely extensive and something for everyone, healthy options, a huge range of baked eggs and also sweet and decadent choices too. There is a wide range for lunch, but on this occasion we sampled the breakfast menu. In a group, we were lucky to be able to share a few different items from the menu. A lighter choice to start with - the 'buckinis' or granola clusters with yoghurt and fruit, beautifully arranged and quite colourful. This was followed by a breakfast burger with brioche bread and was very reasonably priced. We were impressed by the beetroot cured salmon done in house, sitting atop avocado served on pane di casa an Italian style of bread. Then came the stars of the show; the famous baked eggs. Unlike any baked eggs you've seen before, the Italian styled baked eggs are huge and they have five varieties. The hearty Uovo Bolognese e Piselli which is eggs poached in a beef bolognese sauce with peas, grana padano cheese and buffalo mozzarella served with pane di casa. Our favourite being the Uovo Cotto - it was eggs baked in a creamy white sauce with porchini mushroom, black truffle, potato mash and shaved grana padano cheese, topped with crispy bacon shreds and pane di casa - the taste was equivalent to a carbonara. Both were huge sizes so very reasonable for the price. On my next visit id like to try the one with pork fennel sausage. The Nutella pancakes were another great option recommended if you have a sweet tooth. You definitely get your nutella fix with these, not only were they topped with nutella, it was also in the pancake mixture too. This was served with vanilla gelato, strawberries and fresh mint. No fuss decor, Italian vibe to the styling and the counter also sells some goods to go. Great food on offer here and we certainly recommend a visit and in particular the baked eggs as a must.
