Lamb shank, beef cheek sandwich, salmon, mushroom tart and chips to die for! Don't forget to visit Kevin bacons house while you wait!

Changed a lot and still a lot of changes coming, with new restaurant and shop additions to the area. Had the pie and capp this time, which wasnt that impressive...

I love this place. Something for everyone. The breakfast pan is great.
Carlo D.March 8, 2017
Very cool place, looks like a traditional farm! Very nice coffee and pastries, bread, cakes. It's very busy and quite expensive

Awesome place to visit while in Sydney. Very unique but best to get a reservation ahead. Long wait on weekends.
Caroline BreureAugust 9, 2015
The place is amazing, but very crowded on weekends. Worth the wait. The food is great and the whole place is very authentic.

Been here too many times, only downside is the que and parking! Their special ice coffee is.. Specially good!!!
MikiReiJune 16, 2013
If you don't want to wait, get takeaway & eat in the garden. There r stands in the garden as well selling some of the same menu items.
Lauren RoseJune 14, 2012
Get there early on weekends and it is well worth the wait for a warm inside table in these wintry months. FanTASTIC food and great coffee!
Tom KennedyJanuary 4, 2015
Getting a park, table and food is such a sh*t fight I shudder if anyone suggests this place. On the upside, garden is lovely.

Very lively and funky collection of a few restaurants and cafes. Good food, live music occasionally
Yen TanJuly 30, 2017
Great vibe n introduction to Sydney's cafe culture but a little contrived and premium for the local repeat customer
Jill FitzpatrickJanuary 15, 2017
Love this place. Food is amazing even with queues it isn't a long wait and Kevin Bacon is there!
Kasia LorencOctober 27, 2013
Definitely worth waiting for the table - grab a snack or a coffee in the meantime.
Josh MMay 19, 2012
If eating in, put your name down first as you will be waiting up to 45mins. Then grab a coffee sit in the garden and chillax to the beats

Great food and food shopping but parking is horrid and badly co-ordinated by staff. Will only return when on 2 wheels.
VivAugust 30, 2012
Ladies, leave your name at the door for the 45 min wait and then go to the excellent Bendon shop next door for discounts on Bendon lingerie and Elle Macpherson intimates!
Grant MDecember 9, 2014

Just a perfect place to relax, makes beautiful coffee and food..))) from the freshest ingredients
BulentApril 3, 2019
The ambiance of the restaurant is great. However the food is very ordinary. May be the atmosphere increased my expectations very high and that’s because I did not find the food tasty.
Oscar Luis Urrutia BlancoDecember 12, 2015
The place is beautiful, very nice environment, the food top notch, the service not as good as everything else.
Maria StensmyrJuly 5, 2015
The sirloin steak and crab bruschetta were amazing
Birgul EmertJuly 23, 2016
Breakfast, brunch and lunch menu is fabulous and of course the coffee..

Get in before 8.30. Bircher is awesome. Polenta chips are tasty and the coffee is brilliant.

Lives up to all expectations. Great espresso and the cured ocean trout is divine. Could lounge around there all day

Lively and with a nice buzz - great for visitors but priced to match

Beautiful place but the Lamb and Spinach Gemelli was too salty and the Chargrilled Flat Iron Steak Sandwich was average.
