Thankfully this place isn't just looks - backed up by a creative menu and good coffee, E6 is a gem in the rough, shabby chic amongst actual shabby. I loved the internationally inspired menu with dishes like Huevos Rancheros, an 'Ode to Borough Markets' cheese toastie, coconut sticky rice porridge and my fave, fried eggs with tomato herb salad and dukkah on beetroot spread and flatbread - YUM!! The coffee's probably the best espresso style coffee in this neck of the woods, which isn't a hard feat but they don't let that be an excuse, treating the 5 Senses beans with respect and producing a great cup, whether the milk, black or iced. It's great to have just one more option on my short list of local cafe gems but if I were you, I wouldn't make a special trip here if I lived further afield - keeps the line shorter for me!

Quaint little sandwich shop in circular quay. They have lots of seating in the big wooden lounge…read moreinside. The sandwich was freshly prepared and you can also select your bread too! The modus operandi is similar to big bite on Pitt street - fresh ingredients between two large slice of bread at affordable prices. The foil wrapped sandwiches come in random names like bikini beef, Mozart chicken, sexy tuna etc. they have a sandwich for everyone. Fancy an exotic Vanuatu beef burger? Or dance to a chicken gangnam style? Or boost your confidence and get a mojo beef? There's enough sandwiches to fulfil your every chicken fantasy (yes these are all real sandwich names) As for my sandwich choice, it's a shootout between the meatfather and the top gun steak.

Kusuka Cafe is a Warung Kopi (coffee) House. Kusuka translates from Indonesian to 'I Love', and we…read moredo love Kusuka cafe. So much so, we will certainly return again for more. This quaint trendy Indonesian inspired cafe is hidden down a laneway in Haymarket. Despite the conspicuous location, it is a busy little cafe. Kusuka is open for breakfast lunch and dinner, serving extremely Instagrammable Indonesian food and drinks. Having seen a number of impressive pictures on Instagram we were excited to receive an invite from Zomato to visit Kusuka. Visiting on a Monday night we found our way using Google maps. We were greeted by the friendly owners Liz and Mario. Provided with not one but two menus, there was a really good amount of choice. The impessive beverage and dessert menu is our instant focus. With a range of Kopi (coffee), different types of colourful lattes, smoothies, dessert shakes, juice, teas and some colour changing drinks. The disco princess is first on our hit list. This refreshing lemonade is not your standard lemonade, this drink has more colour changes than the Opera house during Vivid lighting festival. Presented nicely, it starts out a Lavender purple, with a bit of sorcery add some mystery liquid, it then becomes pink in colour, pour in a different serum and it finishes morphing, ready to drink and orange in colour. We also earmark the interesting avo/coffee/chocolate drink, the hypovocado which we enjoyed after our meal. The Genesis is another cool drink offering, an impressive berry elixir. Pour in some of their magic potion give it a stir and you will be holding a drink that looks like a glittering galaxy. The fact that Kusuka opens all day, means it has a range of food available and it is great if you are after a cheap eat. The savoury beef and cheese pancake called the Ultimate Martabak, an Indonesian style fried crisp pancake was full of flavour, the chili taichan providing a punch of spice. Staple of Indo cuisine are the mie goreng and the nasi goreng(fried noodles and fried rice) with ketsup manis (sweet soy sauce) as the main flavour component. Kasuka offers a variety of these staples served in a bowl. The Super Bowl a must if you enjoy mie goreng and meat. A double dose of noodles topped with an array of mouthwatering meat including pork belly, corned beef and sausage, for additional flavour there is the chili matah. Another tasty street food option is the double chicken rice bowl topped with their fried chicken and satay chicken skewers. This dish had us clucking for more. Having saved room for dessert, you know the hypovocado was happening. Usually associating avocado as a millennial favourite of smashed and served on top of toast, this drink has opened our eyes to the unknown diversity of the humble avo. This was a standout with this bizarre sweet combination of flavour strangely working very well. We also tried the pink latte, which was a refreshing watermelon and rose water flavour. They also do red velvet and matcha. Another great sweet option for dessert is the ropang delight, a thick Indonesian sweet toast smothered in nutella and topped with toasted marshmallows, an Indo style smores. This was outstanding! A great little Indo Warung Kopi, with a playful menu. A fun cafe to visit, with reasonably priced Indonesian street food and some cool beverages. Thanks to Mario, Liz and their staff for their hospitality. We enjoyed chatting to Mario and the service provided was impeccable. We really enjoyed our visit and will return.

Putting my day into context first, I have had some exceptionally bad coffee today, and so these guys and a very low bar to get over. Long story short, the sun was out, the creme was the right colour, there was not too much milk, and while I was not blown away with the coffee, it certainly was the best on offer in walking distance (and I had been walking pretty far). With heaps of tables inside and out, you are bound to get a seat, and having the sunlight above you on a good day, or watching the rain come down on a bad each have their own attraction. If you are in the area and in need of a coffee, these guys can be trusted to fix you up.

I did just find it by wandering around the streets, and I did end up getting a pot of tea that I was really wanting to grab, but it wasn't really one of the best that I have had.

Who needs old school hip hop or indie tunes drowning out your conversations when you have a soundtrack like that. My salmon roll was so much more than I expected - perfectly cooked salmon fillet, fork tender but with enough structure to hold its own in a squid in roll with papaya slaw and chilli jam. Perfectly balanced and gloriously messy. The accompanying chips were perhaps a bit over-salted but the unctuous, almost El Jannah level garlicky aioli kept me coming back for more. My colleagues declared the deconstructed pork belly Bahn Mi their new favourite dish in all of Sydney, no small feat given we work in the heart of Surry Hills. It's a sight for the eyes/Instagram feed, all crusty baguette and cucumber rose and thick juicy pork belly fingers and tiny jars and quenelles of this and that on a wooden board. And the taste, they tell me, is just uhhhhnnnff! All this Vietnamese cafe magic is housed in a shoebox of a shop and served by sweet and efficient staff. There really isn't that much space, just a few tables inside and a tiny courtyard out and vertical garden back. Let's hope SMH or Time Out don't pick up on this place any time soon, I want it allll for myself.
