4.2 / 5 (3023 reviews)

Description

Excelsior restaurant used to be known for its excellent coffee beans but recently switched to a more generic brand, resulting in average coffee at best. Despite this, the staff worked hard to accommodate customers during bad weather, providing a noisy yet happy atmosphere. However, some customers were disappointed with changes to the menu and removal of popular dishes. Despite these setbacks, reviews praised the food quality, service, and unique offerings such as soy chai lattes and beef sandwiches. Overall, while some felt the cafe was losing its charm, others still considered it a great spot for delicious food and coffee in a convenient neighborhood location.

The name Exclesior Jones might sound reminiscent of the knights of medieval times but it infact takes its name from the previous names of the streets at the cafe’s junction. This is a light filled corner cafe in Ashfield which is a cool spot that feels eclectic with its grid style mod art on the exterior walls and colourful indoor mural. There’s plenty of indoor and outdoor space and it’s great to hear that the cafe does online reservations so can feel confident you won’t need to wait in line for hours.

7/10<br/ <br/ Momofuku Bowl<br/ Autumn Fritters<br/ <br/ The dishes at Excelsior Jones tasted really good and the coffee is a must get. Would have loved for it to be a little less heavy on the oil as it did sit a bit heavy in my stomach afterwards but the flavour on both dishes is definitely worth the visit and return

This is my go to weekend place! The best coffee. Amazing food that is reasonably priced with good portions. The flavours and additions to meals are so much better than I could do at home. And the service is so friendly and warm.

This is my weekend go to place. Almost every weekend I visit this place and and start my day with the almond milk coffee from Excelsior Jones. I love the coffee and their veggie wrap also I like their almond croissant and Carrot Bread. Must try coffee if you are a coffee lover. They have friendly and welcoming staff.<br/ <br/ <br/ Food 4/5<br/ Ambience 3/5 <br/ Price 3/5<br/ Staff 5/5 <br/ <br/

Homemade Granola : Amazing <br/ Smoked Trout Hash : Amazing <br/ The Full Danish : Great <br/ Coffee : Amazing <br/ <br/ Can’t go wrong with a cup of good coffee and Excelsior Jones does it just right. So good in fact, I had to have another cup! The homemade granola was perfectly refreshing with beautifully sweet poached pair and coconut yoghurt. The smoked trout hash (can also be ordered with pork meatballs) was also delicious with loads of potatoes and fish. The full danish was very much like a platter of the good stuff. With eggs, fresh fruit of of course cheese! Lovely, friendly staff as well. Worth another visit.
