3 Best Cafes in Sydney NSW

Have been here a few times so thought I would take the time to do a review. Firstly the coffee here is lovely, really well done. In terms of the food, it’s pretty solid. I think it used to be better and it was a lot more wow but nowadays they are still serving the classics and they have a few signatures. The dish I got today was yum, fried egg was good, and the mushrooms are so delicious, the mustard is a great enhancement to the dish. The place is really pretty with the fairy lights. They do do a weekend surcharge though

The place definitely has great customer service! They allowed me to charge my phone and greeted me with smiles. The food changes throughout the year but I must say it all had a very average taste and the atmosphere has fairy lights, dimmed lighting and a very industrial environment. It was also quite difficult to find but overall good experience!

My first visit! I love the duck spring rolls!! Coffee and meal was good, sat at the corner so i can enjoy our breakkie. Will be back when i have the chance.

This was plan ‘C’ after checking out other disappointing hip new SH spots. On a late Sunday morning, we were fighting real hunger anxiety and frankly not too many options in that immediate vicinity on Sundays. Thankfully, we’ve had the best luck in these small cafe+ type eateries in our Aussie trip so far. We had a bit of a wait since we were a party of 3 (about 25-30m) with a few solos getting in before us. The seating is limited indoors with a few booths and counter seats but with another 6-7 double seater tables outside. We ordered a latte, flat white, matcha latte to start. Espresso drinks were really delicious with the flavorful coffee taste really tempered by the creamy milk. We asked for matcha without the additional agave sweetener since these are typically very sweet. It came out amazing and not too sweet. For food we ordered the avo show (with extra egg and bacon), the chicken toastie, and the chickpea cilbir. Everything was just simply amazing. Highlights - avo show: achiote cashew cheese (tastes like peanut butter); chickpea cilbir: whipped feta (super creamy and rich); chicken toastie: the seasoned crumbled chicken and halloumi/mozzarella cheese. Service was brisk and friendly. Really cool slightly grungy industrial vibe (you even have to go outside to go back inside to get to the restroom). A bit pricy but very much worth it.

The place had a really buzzing atmosphere, really pleasant experience even while waiting for seats. The barista even gave me some sample coffee from their taps, which were excellent. Food and coffee were both incredible, one of the best I've had among many cafes in Sydney. Food offerings were pretty creative and the coffee really brought out the notes even with milk. Service was also fantastic. Everyone was attended to regularly and nobody had to wait unattended for any extended period. Definitely a place to come back again.

Wasn’t able to sample their food but truly enjoyed their iced oat latte on tap! Very friendly service as with most Aus cafes. They also sell coffee beans by the bag.

Wonderful to walk into Reuben Hills and its warm friendly vibe on a miserable rainy day in Sydney. The baked soft eggs with goats curd was just what I needed and the coffee was spot on. First time in though I have a coffee subscription. Their House Blend is the best. Thanks team!

Love the coffee here, they have some great options for trying different beans. Cool atmosphere but constantly needed to check on the pigeons around our table cause a lot of bread crumbs are on the floor.

The coffee was so good i have ordered cappuccino was so yummy, my husband ordered cold brew but the cold brew here is not 12 hours process, iced patch brew.
