Another great little cafe in dear our old Marrickville!…read more One of my friends told me she likes this better than Cornersmith, I was like HOW DARE YOU! BLASPHEMY! Hush your mouth, chile! But then I was like... *whispering*... omg we have to try it! Better than Cornersmith? I don't believe it. So here's the deal... West Juliett is fabulous. The coffee is great, breakfast was delish, the staff were attentive and super nice and you know what makes it trump Cornermith? One itty bitty thing: West Juliett is very, very spacious and you can hang out there a bit after breakfast and drink your coffee or juice or whatever and have a chat. You can't do that at Cornersmith, the place is teeny tiny and there are always people waiting for tables. You gotta be in and out and that's it. Not at West Juliett. It's pretty big. But yep... Loved West Juliett. I am so, so spolit with all these fab cafes around me. All my favourites are in my own backyard, more or less!

Cafe Bella Dee located in San Souci, is the perfect corner café for you to unwind, dine and feel…read morecarefree (San Souci is a French phrase for free of care). This quaint cafe is owned by a sister and brother duo and offers diners an indoor and alfresco seating, perfect to soak in the sunshine amidst winter. We tried a variety of delicious all day breakfast items. With so many delectable options to choose from, if ever in doubt, order the Corn Fritters! These were thee best fritters I've ever had, packed with juicy corn kernels and great flavour combination. What I tried: The French Toast: Brioche french toast with seasonal berries, vanilla-nut praline icecream, Canadian maple syrup and crumb . The Corn Fritters: Smoked salmon, housemade labneh, smashed avacado, basil pesto, watercress and sweet pickled onion . The Rosie Benny: Sourdough bread topped with poached eggs, baby spinach and housemade pink hollandaise sauce . The Pretty Smash: Toasted sourdough bread topped with smashed avacado, tomato medley, feta, betroot cumin hummus and pistachio . Açaí berry bowl: Toasted Maple Almond muesli, chia seeds, coconut, seasonal fruits, almonds and honey . Coconut Chia Pudding: with yoghurt, roasted nuts, seasonal berries and honey

Oh boy, thankfully I found this place from seeing a guy with a giant sandwich wrapped in foil while…read morehe was eating it in the executive club of our hotel across the street. This is a togo place only, and the line would have about 10 or more people in it at all times. Three people behind the counter took the orders that were not done online and made the food just as fast as they could. It takes about 10-15 minutes from getting in line to picking up, which is great if you were short on time as many of the local business people seemed to be. There is no signage from the street to find this place, but if you are lost, just ask anyone in the local businesses because that is what I did. They also have a daily specials board, and any sandwich can be made as a wrap, too. It was huge and delicious, and I would definitely go back again.

It's much smaller than the original store at Alexandria and stocks a lot fewer products. There is a freezer and fridge section, a deli counter, some pastries near the cashier, but not many dry goods. There is only 1 table with dry goods such as crackers and jams. The cafe space had a pub atmosphere at night - loud, live singer, dimly lit, chaotic, and moderate selection of deli food. The truffle and parmesan fries were the stand out. The cheese board came with a really ordinary small sliced baguette and 4 Ritz crackers. Service was lacking - the waitstaff were helpful but there aren't enough servers to cater to the customers.

What? What do you want? Coffee? Juice? Salads? Burgers? Bagels? Faccacias?…read more Yes yes yes, they have all this and more. It's a large café on Foveaux street that has a huge variety of foods you're very likely to find what you want. They can make you up something: burger, sandwhich, bagel, just the way you plike it. Or you can grab a pie or sausage roll to go, or next that is aother hot foods such as lasagnes. Or explore the salad bar and get some light food in one of many varieties or combinations. What I like about this place is that it can house as many people as the variety of food it sells. A large seating area with plenty of space to move, the store is open and comfortable, casual and simple. Well priced, and enjoyable, this place would be a regular for me. If I lived within a reasonable range of this place, that is. Definitely recommend.

A crowd outside the place consisted of many eager to get their hands on delicious foods everybody raves about. We weren't sure where to tell them our names to put us on the list of people waiting for a table, so we ended up in the "to go" line until we grabbed a waitress to do so. There were already people behind us in line that grabbed that waitress ahead of us, which was a little annoying, but the wait wasn't too long. I wish they had a better system for dropping names for people who want to dine in. Anywho, once we were seated, we were able to order fairly quickly, but our drinks were pretty slow to come out- essentially our food came out at the same time as our coffees. The Arabian eggs I had and the big breakfast my husband had were both delicious; no complaints there. The chili peppers in the Arabian eggs were impressively spicy, which ngl is hard to get me to say as a Korean. Staff were nice, but I wish it was a bit more organized in terms of ordering/giving our names. Two different girls asked us for our drink orders, and I saw the girls touch dirty dishes/napkins and clear them in the kitchen and then come and deliver foods and coffee without washing hands... a little upsetting to see. Overall, great food and coffee, but disappointed by staff and organization. I'd come back, but probably not the first place I'd suggest for a weekend brunch.

Housed in what was meant to be a hotel back in the day, this cafe is bustling and I'm told by my local living friend, often lines out the door on weekends. When we arrived there was no wait and we were seated straight away. The staff were friendly and polite. It's a smaller space but they make the most of it with a home-y interior. It's warm, inviting and too easy to spend a lazy afternoon here. There's an all-day breakfast menu with all the usual suspects and some stand outs like the lamb bruschetta. I was lucky enough to sample this from one of our lunch party and would definitely order should I return. On this occasion, I ordered the lamb kofta special with natural yogurt, quinoa and coriander. It was a suitably filling and soul hugging meal of comfort and everything was balanced to perfection. The coffee was strong and easily drinkable. There's a range of gluten free cakes should you not be feeling like lunch and most of the menu items can be made gluten free. The kitchen here may be small but from our experience it's certainly not limiting what they're serving!

It is smooth coffee - I prefer a darker bean, but still it is a great cup of coffee. But the main reason you come here is the food. There is so many options that it would suit anyone's taste.

All of the food we had was top notch, and the service was friendly and professional, even if there were a few details that weren't perfectly polished.

Although the food looks great, they didn't taste as good as it looked. I think the best things were the oysters and seared ahi. Oysters were very fresh and the ahi was pretty and tasted amazing! The worst thing was the wine (which Ian didn't drink) and the dessert (hard dry cake which you probably needed a knife to cut and ice cream that almost completed melted on the plate within 2-3 min). Maybe that's how a genoise is supposed to be but we thought it was horrible and couldn't eat it. The pork belly was good but the salad had way too much mayo. Oxtail dumplings were good but I think a little undercooked and almost lukewarm. Brussel sprouts could have been cooked longer. Ian liked the barramundi but I thought it tasted like talaipa (he said it's cause it's a brackish water fish). The servers were pretty attentive. Checking if we needed water and taking away our dishes when finished. But one thing they never asked was how we were enjoying the food. Especially with the dessert, we only took one bite and left it. Overall we were pretty disappointed that this was our only dinner in Sydney on this trip and it wasn't the greatest. I understand it was a school, but I guess we expected it to be great from the reviews we've read and heard from a friend. One good thing is we didn't over eat! Haha! And it was decent prices.
