Jennifer Y.January 21, 2012cute bookstore/cafe. friendly staff. plenty of sitting areas/big tables upstairs. cozy area around the corner w/ book collection. one of the few places i know that sells soy dandelion latte
Wendy TeumaApril 5, 2014my favorite cafe in Surry hills. Great coffee and juices, along with free wifi which is hard to come by in these parts!
Dr EugeJuly 14, 2013Just adequate. Eggs and bacon too fat with cheese and added butter, poached eggs hard boiled. Too much attitude not enough attention to details.
Alotta FaginaDecember 9, 2011Amazing waitstaff and cocktail menu. Try the Strawberry, Mint & Lychee Caprioska
Joseph RestubogApril 13, 2014Ampersandian was ok...lacked flavour (Bearnaise included). One poached egg hard, the other juicy. Staff bit overwhelmed due to demand and computer breakdown. Service subpar, but was it a one-off?
- Mel McJanuary 1, 2015Good for a quick coffee or tea. Tea leaves a bit light on. Service was friendly
Katie HatchMay 28, 2012Could not believe how elderly customer was shuffled around to make way for lunching ladies. Horrifying.
Mooksy ♔August 25, 2013Terrible service and forgot our orders after 40 mins of waiting. Never coming back here again
Terry LynchMarch 29, 2014Waited two hours for food before walking out hungry. No idea what happened to our order.
