I live very close and this is not my regular cafe. They are very popular so I thought I'd give them a chance. Firstly the coffee is very very good and the staff are friendly enough, it's always busy however the food isn't so great especially if you are vegetarian and only want something light. I got a brownie once and it wasn't that great but I'm used to homemade at another local cafe so I guess it was standard and today I wanted a quiche or a toasted sandwich so they made me a cheese and tomato toasted sandwich which tasted extremely bland and was at least $9, overpriced for a slice of cheese, 2 slices of tomato and brown bread toasted especially as this is not the inner west but to make matters worse it took over 15-20 minutes to make my order, they did apologize but honestly for the price and quality that's really not good enough. I should have gone to my local cafe instead. If the coffee wasn't decent both times I've been then I'd be even more annoyed. I do have some additional comments to make. It's a cash only cafe with no signage on the door or in the cafe to indicate this whatsoever. I find that unprofessional, also who doesn't have eftpos especially when you are charging inner west prices. I don't think I'll be back unless I'm after a quick take out coffee.

Based on everyone else's reviews I'm assuming I just had bad luck and being vegetarian is hard with cafes, they don't know what flavour is. If you are vegetarian and don't want to pay $16 for a grilled vegie sandwich or $9 for a bland toasted sandwich but love coffee and standard run of the mill cake then come here!
I've since been back on 16 August as my favourite local cafe closes at 12pm lunch time on a Sunday and I wanted lunch after 1pm. I ordered the corn fritters with mushrooms and given the price was disappointed that there was no avocado or side salad garnish. I also had the rhubarb apple crumble with icecream which was nice however I was appalled I was charged $5 for the scoop of icecream! Never before have I been overcharged like that! The fritters were slightly undercooked and bland. I'm very disappointed with your savoury vegetarian options and given your cash only policy and the fact you are clearly overpriced for the area, I won't be back. The takeout coffee is good though but that's it! I maybe in the minority here as I test out alot of cafes in the area and inner west/Cronulla but I do know my stuff! Consider your vegetarian customers more please! I get the impression your meat eating customers are happy and make up the bulk of your customers but people talk.

I love coming here, the staff are always fantastic, the service is great (despite being near completely full) They always remember us, and the food is fantastic and completely affordable. A weekly go-to for anyone and everyone!

I really enjoy eating here in fact one of my favourite breakfast places! I would recommend this place to everybody and do. They do an all day breakfast as well as a grill and salads and pastas. It is a great place to do brunch with friends!

Always very busy and bustling. Popular with the locals as the coffee is of the highest quality in the area. The food is good, and the large servings are satisfying.

Approximate cost: $15

I love the courtyard out the back. They are great with kids, happy to deal with my two little ones. W like breakfast there but also a fan of their specials at lunch. A pretty standard cafe experience.

Having a light meal and a coffee is an enjoyable experience in this cafe. This is a lovely suburb /area to visit in Mortdale. Good food, good, prices and nice service, very relaxing experience, I return often.

This is one of my favourite cafes in the area. Excellent coffee and food. Service is always fast and friendly and the courtyard out the back is a nice retreat for it all.

Love the coffee here. We can either sit inside or out the back in a little courtyard. I always recommend this cafe to anyone looking for coffee in the area. I have also tried banana bread. Unfortunately I haven't much gone past the coffee

Approximate cost: $??
