Queue can be long but they have awesome queue management, supplying you with buzzer if weekends. Otherwise, the guy who manages the queue remembers your face and will go find you when table is ready.

Definitely come for brunch! The food is absolutely amazing and the atmosphere is magical.

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

The place is beautiful, very nice environment, the food top notch, the service not as good as everything else.
Jen NguSeptember 2, 2012
Stand outs are coffee and buffalo mozzarella salad. Overall - great food, venue and good vibes. Expect an hour wait so come prepared (eat before, being cards, go shopping etc)
Mary Helen SabaJuly 8, 2013
The smashed avocado and poached egg with haloumi, roasted tomato, pesto and olives will rock your socks off!
Jennifer BApril 3, 2018

Awesome place to visit while in Sydney. Very unique but best to get a reservation ahead. Long wait on weekends.

Great vibe n introduction to Sydney's cafe culture but a little contrived and premium for the local repeat customer

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...

Definitely worth waiting for the table - grab a snack or a coffee in the meantime.
Jill FitzpatrickJanuary 15, 2017
Love this place. Food is amazing even with queues it isn't a long wait and Kevin Bacon is there!
Aarron CJanuary 15, 2022
The food is alright, however, the scenery is fantastic! Definitely recommend to anyone
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!
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.
Dianne PoncianoJuly 28, 2015
Make sure to drop by during the weekend! They have great selection of organic fruits and veggie stall.
Daniela SDecember 29, 2023
The menu was mediocre at best, very meat and fish heavy, just one pasta dish. Very superficial everything, for me it was not pleasant and very crowded as well.
Toby CornwellJanuary 27, 2016
So busy, try the freshly cooked doughnuts from the carts 😍
PierreJune 23, 2012
Lives up to all expectations. Great espresso and the cured ocean trout is divine. Could lounge around there all day

Beautiful place, great concept. Take your friends and/or family and go!
CatNovember 22, 2014
Get in before 8.30. Bircher is awesome. Polenta chips are tasty and the coffee is brilliant.
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.
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
Bronwyn OrsattiFebruary 25, 2015
Great food and food shopping but parking is horrid and badly co-ordinated by staff. Will only return when on 2 wheels.
Jennifer HoSeptember 23, 2014
Home made pasta with beef ragu is good! Go after 2pm for a shorter wait.
Seldy SorchantteApril 21, 2014

Lively and with a nice buzz - great for visitors but priced to match
Brenda VillegasAugust 31, 2013
Go on market day at the last Saturday of the month. Buzzing with energy and great produce!

Everything here is amazing. As long as you're prepared to wait, you should come here.
TCNovember 23, 2013
Lovely outdoor area and great coffee but the wait for a table inside is wayyyyy too long

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