We came here after buying a scoopon voucher for their afternoon tea specials. Their savoury items…read morewere nice but the sweet stuff were quite disappointing. I especially enjoyed the quiche and breadcrumb ricotta balls. It's a pity because the cafe is situated next to a lake at a nice park and it has streams of people walking past it every day. The coffee was decent, I ordered a soy latte but I'm pretty sure it was made with cow milk instead because I can't taste the soy at all. Anyway I let it go because I was in a good mood. The staff working here are quite attentive (not that many guests around) and helpful. We had really good service but the food seriously let it down, especially the dessert selection. Having said that, I can only comment on the afternoon tea set. Maybe the other items on the menu are better, although I doubt it. To sum it up, I'll give four stars for the surroundings but two stars for the food. Probably won't be back anytime soon.

Since I was up early, I took a walk to see if I could locate Botanica Garden Cafe and to see if it…read morewas worth trying to get my travel companions to get up early one morning for breakfast. The walk was a little long, but I found the cafe directly across from the Waverton train station. And it was so cute! The decorations! The nooks! The mish-mash of homey cutesy things. Ultimately, I was unsuccessful at tugging them out of bed for this, given our limited time remaining in Sydney. But I bought one of their Gluten Free Almond and Coconut Teacake with Passionfruit $5, just so I could review this place so others can try it for the hot meal that I did not get to experience. Service was quite nice. The Teacake, however, was just okay. But then I am not much for passionfruit, and the gluten free nature of the cake may have led it to be a bit more on the crumbly side. Hours: Monday - Friday 7:30am - 4pm Saturday and Sunday 8am - 3pm For their commuters, they offer a takeaway Good Morning Menu special deal - $11 for a regular coffee and a choice of toasties and brekkie rolls, from 7:30am - 10am (weekdays only, I suppose).

Trust me, that alone indicates how tasty this place is. Fantastic service, haven't gotten a single order wrong, or forgotten one yet! Delicious range of breakfast and lunch options, though my favourite are their thick cut toasts (which are the size of 2 toasts in one) and pancakes, which are fluffy and perfectly sweetened. My family and I love this restaurant so much that we ALWAYS visit it, at least once a month and for majority of birthday breakfasts!

I've visited the Boschetto Cafe in Rockdale many times over the past year and though it was about…read moretime that I provided a review of this great spot. Firstly, the interior fit out of this cafe is impressive, to say the least. The cafe boasts a premium, luxurious industrial type feel to the cafe, from the brick feature walls to the rustic long timber dining table in the middle of the cafe. The dining area is always the talking point when we take friends here for the first time. The coffee here is really good. I've never had a cappuccino that didn't hit the spot, the coffee art is really cool too, with lots of time taken to pour the milk perfectly over the coffee. My most recent meal at Boschetto was the Southern Style Fried Chicken Ciabatta roll. Being a fan of southern style chicken, I thoroughly enjoyed the combination of the crispy fried chicken with the melted cheese and honey mustard mayonnaise. I couldn't fault this meal and usually order it when I'm not in the mood for breakfast (which is served here as well, and equally as good) or a full fledged lunch. I've yet to try many of the wonderful desserts on offer at Boschetto, because I'm usually way too full from my main meal. I have sampled the freshly baked chocolate muffins on occasion, which were really fresh and full of melt in your mouth chocolate pieces. The service here is great and we always have a pleasurable experience every visit. I look forward to many more meals here in the future.

It didn't help my 'street cred' when I stopped in my tracks and perved over the aforementioned salad for an awkward amount of time before the barrista kindly (with as little judgement as noticeably possible) asked if I'd like to see a menu. It was the best decision I made all day - enjoying homemade sweet and savoury delights and a fantastic coffee under the large umbrellas outdoors. This is exactly what I had hoped to find in Sydney - quaint, low-key, friendly, delicious - and hey, here it is!
