The Lion is a chilled cafe in the Surry Hills area with big open windows where you can watch the world go by.
The Staff are lovely and always give you a great big smile if your a regular, i continue to go back. As they really do love you for your loyalty.
You get me though the day sometimes, and the carrot cakes are the best. YUM!!

Approximate cost: $5

The coffee is wonderful, the service is very friendly and if your a regular they always remember your order! They have some nice food choices, but the cakes and banana bread is the best!

Approximate cost: $10

This is my second luncheon choice in Surry Hills they have a good menu and its fresh but not much variation and im not as fussed with their coffee as some other surrounding cafes, but that really is a personal thing as I have a few collegues who think this is the nicest coffee here, so i recognise that it is really a matter of ones owns taste. this is a friendly and very nice cafe and the staff are always very cheerful.

Approximate cost: $8.00
