The coffee was consistently delicious. The food was always fresh. The staff is very friendly. It is everything an intimate, neighborhood coffee shop should be. I look forward to returning on my next visit "down under." I am back in late 2017, and my review stands. The cafe is under new ownership but had not waivered in quality.

Their basic croissants are some of the best of the city, and definitely one of the very rare "real French croissants" you can get this far from the super trendy suburbs of Sydney. Their other pastries keep changing and it feels like the variety increases every time I go have a look. Raspberry danishes, almond-chocolate croissants, rhubarb and strawberry foldeovers and much more. They also do sandwiches, quiches and I've seen meat pies too, so even those without a sweet tooth will find something good to eat. And coffee - it's good to finally have another decent brand of coffee in the neighbourhood, and I've always been happy with my lattes.

You shouldn't have to be banned at the bar if you are 'only' getting coffee or an expensive smoothie. If you want tap water be prepared to ask numerous times but sadly that seems to be the norm in cafes now. If it's free, it's not important...sigh

Friendly staff seems to be the consensus among Yelpsters when it comes to The Missing Piece…read more Friendly and observant. With Mr Hangrypants distracted by a sneaker store down the way, I lined up alone to get a table as there was a bit of a queue. "Table for two?" I was asked almost immediately. Crikey, she must have seen us coming a mile away. Bill arrived as I was being shown to our table and we were efficiently given menus and then not forgotten about despite the place being jammed. We ordered food and coffee and the drinks arrived almost immediately, again, as I already mentioned, despite the place being jammed. A little while later our food arrived piping hot, again, and I can not be more emphatic about this, DESPITE THE PLACE BEING JAMMED! This sort of efficient service just doesn't happen in suburban Sydney. The coffee at The Missing Piece is great. The food is top quality. We had Big Breakfasts or "The Complete Picture", in keeping with the theme. Standard price at $18. I was thoroughly impressed all round with my experience and will be back. The only downer is that the OJ is really some kind of Orange Fruit Drink and I did come here one time early on in the piece and they served my tea with milk in a syringe on the side. I hope they have stopped that off putting little nod to modern cafe hipsterism. Other than that, all good in the hood (if North Ryde could indeed be described as a hood...)

The congee was interesting, but at $15 a bowl of boiled white rice, compared to less than $5 a bowl at every other Chinese restaurant, it's a bit steep. Tasted and looked good though. The onsen eggs on toast and salmon was okay, but tasted a bit too ordinary. I saw both the ex Masterchef contestants hard at work. I liked seeing that they were personally behind the food and care about delivering quality food to customers. Too often these days, a celebrity chef will leave the restaurant to run itself.

Well Kin is a bit like that but also in every way the opposite. Kin serves Asian-style cafe food, spanning Japanese, Vietnamese, Chinese and Malaysian cuisines with some Australian cafe style food to boot. And somehow...it works! The salmon is out of this world - super tender but with a lovely charred surface. My money's on sous vide then blow torched. The accompanying spinach is a curious ball of umami and the onsen eggs have me leave poached eggs behind in the dust. The pho is incredibly rich yet delicate and the black sesame shake is grey like concrete, just the way black sesame anything should be. Despite not being a follower of My Kitchen Rules, I somehow still know of Shanelle and Uel. It's a delight to see them hard at work in the kitchen when we visit and even more so when we see them truly embodying their name, bantering with their staff and checking in to make sure they've eaten. It is clear that the food here is made with love. Kin, try as you may to keep me away with your terrible parking, puns and queues, but I will be back for the rest of the menu!

This place is a good find. Now I am going to have to say from the start this isn't a 4 star place…read morebut rather 3.5. But you can't give half marks on Yelp. So 4 is it. The reason that it is not 4 stars was the coffee. The food here is great but unfortunately the coffee was not up to par. Slightly burnt, I have to admit I was disappointed. And then the food came out. The food here is good. Simple but good. Don't expect this new style of crazy stuff. It is a simple but good menu. So whether lunch or breakfast this is a good stop for food. Also the stuff here are friendly and awesome. So it makes you feel at home. I also love cafes with parks close by for kids or just sitting on grass. Call me a hippie, but it's cool. Anyway, this is a hidden gem worth trying out.

The pancakes were served generously, with a neat thick stack of 3. They were nice and light and fluffy. The mocha and latte were also amazingly good.
