Looking for a good bacon and egg roll, I stumbled upon Paramount Coffee Project. We were seated and served within a minute of arriving, and the service was friendly and without fault. The bacon and egg sandwiches were great. The bacon was well cooked, the egg was moist and not overdone, the kale crispy, and the buns were soft and delicious.

The coffee and hot chocolate were nice, but not anything you couldn’t get elsewhere. The inclusion of Panela sugar was a nice surprise, too.,

Came here for breakfast before work one morning. I do like the vibes of the place and the staff were quite friendly. However, the food was disappointing, especially for the price. The signature eggs benny with ham cost about $26 but the toast was thin and soggy, presentation was not very appetising and the Benedict sauce was lacking in consistency + flavour. The table next to mine was also struggling to cut through the toast. The coffee was decent though.
I went to eat with 2 friends. sat at a big table Shared with other customers There were 4 people at the table, but 2 of them had finished eating. When I finished ordering food There were 3 new people coming to sit. By the time I got the drink and food, I was halfway through eating it. Then 2 more customers came and sat. About 15% of the food was left on the plate. The fifth customer who came asked me if she could move tables. There were 10 people with me and a friend. For me, I think that this kind of thing should be the responsibility of the waiter. who spoke to me Don't let the customers speak for themselves. And I still haven't finish my food !
Beautiful cafe in the middle of Surry Hills.

Amazing food and coffee, one of the best avo toast I had in Sydney.

The service was great, friendly, quick and very helpful.

I will 100% go back. Highly recommended

All meals are wonderful! Especially the Benedict, love it!

There's an employee or maybe restaurant owner who gave our kids for a cup cake! That was also delicious! Thanks for the lovely treats!
We definitely will come back next time!❤️
Nice meal and awesome service!👍

Two Eggs Cafe is a delightful gem for breakfast. The eggs benedict were perfect, and the menu offers options for all tastes. The cozy ambiance and friendly staff make it a top-notch experience. Highly recommended!

There were not much crowded in that moment. 9ish am.
Actually, I was gonna go to the really popular cafe "single O" which is located next to this cafe, but that one was full of people and I gave up this time.
But, this cafe was good enough👍
I had flat white and corn flitter for breakfast.
To be honest, campos coffee is the best no matter where you drink it☕️
I'd like to come again for breakfast!

I decided to check out the pancakes at this cafe as a treat for myself after completing the half marathon. It’s a busy little café bustling with activity and plenty of team members to keep the food moving and the service to a high standard. I arrived and was asked to wait a few minutes for a table. I was soon seated and then ordered. Before I knew my coffee had arrived followed soon after by my buttermilk pancakes with strawberries and marscapone. The dish also comes with a small container of strawberry jam and a jug of maple syrup. The pancakes are beautifully presented with a little icing sugar and chocolate flakes. The coffee www great however the pancakes were the hero. In fact it reminded me of eating scones with ham and cream. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and would have happily loitered if not for the steady arrival of people all eagerly awaiting a table. Very attentive service, great coffee and food and a quirky decor. Well worth a visit.

Best combination of service, atmosphere and the food itself I've ever had at a breakfast cafe/bakery

I had eggs Benedict (scrambled) with bacon and added mushrooms and a hash brown. Love a hybrid between eggs Benny and big breakfast. Cafes should make this part of the menu ;). Everything was perfectly cooked, mushrooms not dry, either.

A leisurely lunch at Paramount Coffee Project: Our picks were the classic crumbed egg on toast and a satisfying avocado toast. Their food and coffee certainly hit the mark, but leaned towards the pricier end. It’s the generous space and cozy ambiance that quietly wins us over.
Always the chicken and waffles!

Chicken was light and crispy, the waffles light and fluffy and the maple bacon gravy to die for. We waited for about 35 minutes but it was worth the wait. The team were all super friendly and cheery despite getting hassled constantly by impatient hipsters.

All of our party loved their meals. We were also lucky to sit outside with the sun putting on a show.
Rating: 9 out of ten

After a long exhausting flight from Bangkok, our first meal in Sydney, Australia, was at the charming "Two Good Eggs Cafe". Conveniently located around Elizabeth St. and Goulburn St. near our hotel, it was the perfect spot to start our day. We ordered a croissant filled with bacon and scrambled eggs, a delightful combination. Additionally, the "Two Good Eggs breakfast" was delicious. Both the hot chocolate and coffee were exceptionally made with high-quality ingredients. Highly recommended for a great start to your day!
Good food and quick service. About a 20min wait on a Saturday morning at 10:30am but once you order food comes pretty quickly. Recommend the chicken and waffle ($27) which was crispy and quite filling although the colour and texture of the maple bacon gravy was quite unappealing. The scrambled eggs were buttery and silky and the sourdough bread from AP was fresh and crunchy ($23) Mocha was smooth and tasty ($5.5) The cafe has an industrial vibe and feels very hectic with lots of people waiting around and sharing the lobby with the hotel and AP bread. Expect to be sharing a table with others. Downside is that prices are high and weekend has 10% surcharge and not really a place you can stay and chat for long due to how busy it gets.

The place is 10/10 everything was surprisingly amazing we had pesto pasta and halloumi muffin and they tasted heavenly! The coffee also is soooo good. The only point that I’d love for them to pay attention for is that the books decoration are dusty and need a good wipe! Otherwise, I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back!
the vibes is so chill, I love it!! I got chai latte, and it's tasty too :))

Very nice food. And lovely coffee.
Staff were bright and attentive.
We enjoyed ourselves 🌻
An easy 5/5. Brilliant food & coffee, staff were kind, felt at home inside, fun decor and cute view by the window overlooking the street.
The owner gave us a muffin because we guessed where he is from, from the big photo of the city on the wall ☺️☺️🎉

Overall a great experience.

(P.s I hope you don’t miss it on the street like we nearly did.)

Friendly as we walked through the door. Magnificent food & coffee. Real plants, great light and these gorgeous drawings. So lovely, no pressure even though they’ve closing soon.
The food is amazing. My favourite is the Chicken and Waffles. The only thing I would say, is that we've been here multiple times and everytime the staff is quick to get our initial coffee order, but then we are forgotten and have to flag down someone.

Their shokupan French toast was absolutely heaven! The sweetness was just to my liking though it might be a tad too sweet for other people. Love the vanilla ice cream compensating the sweetness of caramel sauce. The toast was crunchy at the edges and soft at the inside which made me crave for more!

Love the decor and atmosphere of this place. I was seated at the window and it felt comfortable if you wanted just all by yourself. The staff was attentive to customers and food was served pretty quick. Overall great food and customer service. Would love to come back to try other items on the menu!

The buttermilk pancakes are amazing, absolutely fluffy and just amazing. The home made whipped ice cream was beautiful and that homemade jam was to die for. The toasted muesli was beautiful, amazing presentation and even better that i was offered milk with it. The two good eggs big breakfast came in with everything you’d make yourself at home, not only was it delicious it was delicious. The service is 10/10, amazing coffees and specials. If you’re ever in Sydney for a night be sure to check this place out.

I found this cafe after a search for somewhere that serves something besides toast and carby breakfasts. I had the corn and zucchini fritters and a poached egg which was so tasty. The almond milk flat white was nice and creamy.

Very nice cafe. The staff greeted us as soon as we walked in and were very friendly. The design of the cafe is quite nice as well, I like how the interior wall features illustrations of the Surry Hills neighbourhood. The poached eggs on my croque madame were cooked wonderfully and the cheeseburger toastie was indeed faithful to it's name, very tasty!

We went to Toast Cafe with the expectation of just having a bite to eat - that was certainly an underestimation! What we experienced was a culinary enlightenment. The combination of folded egg and bacon, in a sarnie, with a hash brown, and spicy mayo! Wow!

However, ‘it takes a village’, and the front of house was no exception. Jack was charming and his bubbly jokes were the real highlight. With his speedy service and trusty order memory, he really is an asset to Toast Cafe.

It is a must in Sydney.

The Okonomiyaki Benedict was absolutely amazing, why don't we see this offered everywhere? The coffee was a pleasant mild roast, so try something lighter on the milk if you're normally a latte drinker to really enjoy it.

Have been here a couple of times now and it is one of the best places for breakfast or lunch I know of in this area.
The service is superb and the food amazing, as well as the coffees.
I would absolutely recommend going here for a good and fulfilling meal.

Really great food!

I had the teriyaki salmon rice bowl and it was AMAZING. 10/10 I will be coming back. It came with a miso soup and it was delicious.

I also had a lovely large cappuccino with oat milk and it was lovely.

Great place for brekkie. We are in Sydney for the weekend and found this little gem close to our accommodation. The dishes are generous in size, the coffee is excellent as is the service. There’s plenty of seating inside and outside and the cafe can accomodate larger groups too.
Wonderful experience. Not over priced, the staff are friendly as. Flat white was spot on. The smashed avo was perfect.
A colleague and I went in Sunday morning for the first time. We loved the place so much went back Monday and and the cook remembered our order from the day before. Not many places have that kind of experience. Such friendly people. This will be my go to for my morning coffee and smashed avo while visiting SYD.

Menu says can’t change things so can’t even order something with eggs and change them to something else.

Avocado toast is $10 - add tomato for $4… yet on the menu there is “smashy avocados” for $16… and it comes with so much more stuff… but not allowed to swap eggs and stuff for vegan stuff like vegetables :/

Cost of coffee ($7-$8), $1 more expensive and not as tasty as other nearby coffees.

Overall though it is good and fast. :)

My French toast was so soft and in between the bread sheets there is this layer of custard or whatever and it was super!! It had everything that I ever wished for, creamy custardy bready sweet fluffy fruity and savoury (I added bacon on the side xD) my goodness bacon was so good, perfectly cooked and not too salty. Definitely add the bacon on side, they gave me like 4-5 long pieces of bacon wow so generous so worth it 👌 coffee was good, everyone else liked their dishes too.

The matcha pancakes are amazing!! Haven't tried much else because of how great they are. The coffee could be better though.
If you're in the mood for treating yourself, these pancakes should definitely be a top contender!

Update: Over the years, I have tried and failed to order other dishes, however I take other people and taste theirs! 😉
Recently I went and the toppings on the hotcakes had changed, but still delivering the goods! So delicious! And yes, this time I really enjoyed my coffee. The service, as always, was lovely!

Hands down my favourite breakfast spot!
