Was Quel Holland at First Drop a mag?
Nice cafe with comfy seating inside plus outside seats. Service was quick, standard prices, good size meals. I had the eggs benedict with ham, I really enjoyed this, hollandaise sauce ham was yum the eggs cooked well. My partner had scrambled eggs with bacon toast, which was a big size. The place was not too packed for a Sunday lunch. View all feedback.

What Laurence Herman dislikes about First Drop:
I heard a bunch of good reviews about this place, and every time I ate here the food was great but oh man, it consistently took forever. One morning very hungover we dropped by for a take away bacon and egg roll... 40 minutes later we were still waiting. I tried again and took my family for brunch... We waited for more than an hour. The food here is delicious but the consistently poor service makes me dodge it. This... View all feedback.

Looks like a beautiful eckcafé with a wide brandy and comfortable takeaway switch and the coffee is served slightly cold and weak, but is delicious and creamy. the banh mi was terrible. old rolls, old duck, not much filling stacked with most. on the bungalow, although the inner was badly filled, not much taste everywhere. $11 for takeaway, but still terrible worth, strange as the sandwiches and burger I saw as I went out, was much more elaborate.

The first drop caffe is somewhere where we drove a lot past, and seeing the packed caffe was a good note that this would be a good place to try. we dived into the caffe on Sunday morning and found a parking lot easy, the...Café is located in a quiet leaf-shaped corner shop in Redfern/Surry hills. we sit inside, but right at the window, offer a beautiful view and airy brise. they can also dinate alfresco if they prefer it. the caffe has a big day menu, with their favorite brunch options such as a ham and cheese croissant, açai bowl, granola, cheeseburger and a blat to name some. we love that the café menu has many possibilities that do not run from the mill like a burrito made of soft folded egg and own homemade bohnen. their dishes are interesting and many also inspiration from the owners drawing’ Greek heritage. this gives the caffe a rim in these days, offers a good niche for those who want something different, while also the needs of those who have a small regularity with their cafe order. we order both. the vegetarian breakfast is huge, and this is much for us to say how we are great eaters. with wild spinach, haloumi, roasted tomato, chopped eggs, soothed mushrooms, a haybrown, the most amazing in house baked beans in a beautiful tomato sauce, we polished this in no time. served with a slice of tile fields sourd and pepe saya butter. from the special menu we loved her athenian breakfast. we feel that this is the ideal breakfast to also share and it is a beautiful and healthy choice. the meal is served in a plate and is a stunning arrangement of grapes, watermelon, dried figs, yogurt with walnuts and honey, much kefalofraviera cheese and a very good version of spanakopita (greek spinach pie). Other specialties include a fried chicken benedict, myconical bowl (salad with spanakopita), and even a s’mores milkshake for the innate esser. there is a window full of sweet tasty items such as carrot cake, cheesecake, muffins and baked. we have densed at brunch hours, which was a great timing, as we felt like an salat. her fried duck nudelsalat was a nice option. a huge bowl of vermicelli nudeln, eisberg salat, red cabbage, cucumber, carrots, soots, minze, coriander was spiced with a chili vinaigrette and rolled with a generous portion bbq. they also make the crispy duck on a roll. coffee here is a medium roast mix of espresso di manfredi, which use beans from South America and Asia. unique origin is used for its espresso, batch and cold drip, which comes from grace taylor. on the day of the visit this was one from honduras and another from timor read. we also liked to make a series of non-alcoholic drinks or “Elixirs”. her oldest, not a jito, was the perfect drink for summer day; made with oldest, lime, mint and soda water. so refreshing! they also have a few other options, including their non-alcoholic version of a **** mary. Moreover, there are many ice drinks such as traditional ice cream or the Greek “Freddo” version as well as freshly squeezed juices, frappe and smoothies. the caffe has beautiful personal, service is welcoming and efficient. the mood and atmosphere is casual and swinging with many happy customers. we loved everything about this caffe and look forward to the return.

I’ve been wanting to visit this cafe for a long time but I’ve been busy. I’m glad to say that my visit was really worth it. The food was delicious and the coffee was great! Very friendly service too. Everything I had was a pleasure to eat but my favourites were the roast duck noodle bowl and breakfast burrito. Delicious dishes.

Huge portions, delicious coffee and ample seating, the perfect neighbourhood brunch spot! We ordered the baked eggs which came with some truly delicious chorizo and the egg white omelette with smoked salmon, which came with the largest portion of smoked salmon I have ever seen. The coffee did come out after the food which was odd, but it was so delicious and there was quite a queue of people for takeaway coffee so totally understandable. Overall great experience and will definitely be back.
