Food here was not so bad. But there is a bit lacking in the taste department. Presentation was good and was the service. In a good location with great lighting.

Fashionable cafe indeed! Artistic. Food was good. Had the beef Smorrod with Slav. Loved the Eise Matcha! Good Matcha kick. My friend had the salad + Vandermelon and she loved her. :) nice place

Walking into this gorgeous cafe we expected a culinary experience. Unfortunately we were profoundly disappointed with the food, coffee and service. My cappuccino tasted like plain warm milk, and if they had put as much effort into making the long black as they did displaying it maybe it would've been palatable.  The burrata was probably the highlight, though it lacked seasoning and the toast came out late (after a reminder) and burnt. The chicken on 'the Chook", a smørrebrød, was dry and tasteless. It tasted like a 3 day old chicken from the supermarket. There was also a chunk of cartilage the size of a golf ball, lovely. Service was also poor - our coffees were made about 10 minutes after ordering them, yet all three staff members were standing right next to the machine chatting. There were 2 other customers at the time so they were not busy at all. I don't think i've had a worse breakfast in Sydney.

I’ve been here a couple of times and had the same meal cause I enjoyed it so much the first time. The standard didn’t change between visits. Lovely little cafe in Newtown with an outdoor courtyard. The staff are lovely. Food was wholesome and you can tell good and local produce is used. The coffee is also great. I left feeling full.

The cafe is so beautiful. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful they also made drinks quickly here The cafe is very pleasing and clean we ordered 2 meals Halloumi Panini and avocado toast. Both tasted amazing and presentation was literally stunning. The food here was so high quality it might be the best food I’ve bought from a cafe Although the wait time for our dishes did take a while but we were more than happy to wait. Honestly would come here again Service: Dine in Meal type: Breakfast Price per person: A$20–40 Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Toast
