Place is small so had to wait a little for a seat - but definitely worth the wait!

We next asked for a slice of the flourless chocolate cake - the attendant politely proceeded to serve us, though was interrupted by another server who told him it was not on offer to us, as the cake had not yet been cut - again not a problem. We ordered a coffee and waited patiently, before a server impolitely asked us to wait outside for our order (despite the light rain that was building momentum outside). We waited patiently, though there remained patrons inside the cafe, waiting for their coffees - they had presumably not been asked to wait outside, or had perhaps ignored the ludicrous request. After ten minutes, we asked the same server if our order had been prepared, however she drily told us that orders that had been submitted before ours were still being completed - funny, given the fact that we had watched three sets of customers who had been served after us, take their drinks and subsequently leave. We re-entered the cafe, much to the dismay of the server, who proceeded to stare at us. We asked the barista about the status of our coffee and were told it had already been dispensed, conveniently to two patrons who arrived 10 minutes after us, and were located in the exact spot we had been asked to vacate. We asked for our coffee to be remade, and were told it would be delivered shortly. I've done the hospo circuit, so I'm well aware mistakes happen. But no guest should ever be marginalised, (let alone regular guests...) and sent to wait outside while others are permitted to stay inside. If this is the case, at least attempt a smile, or some version of courtesy rather than treating your guests as though they have asked for the key to the city. We eventually received our order, though instead of remorse it was delivered with an eye roll and and hostility. Thanks Guys, Namaste.

The best coffee, croissants and jam I've had in Sydney. The music can be a little loud in the mornings.

Dress in shorts and a tank top if passing by in summer, as the onsite bakery can make the seating area hot hot hot.
