    my favorite cafe in Surry hills. Great coffee and juices, along with free wifi which is hard to come by in these parts!

    Just adequate. Eggs and bacon too fat with cheese and added butter, poached eggs hard boiled. Too much attitude not enough attention to details.

    Ampersandian 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?
