Great place, Josh and his staff are awesome. Great food and great service.
Bill's Coffee never fail to impress, there's not a single drip which I did not enjoy. The relationship he builds with his client is also genuine where he knows you by name, and what your order is.
Bonus points is the husband and wife funny conversation which makes you feel like home.
Absolutely warm bar and the food is amazing. I may not be able to visit him often soon due to change of workplace, and I'm going to miss his hospitality more than I'm going to miss my workplace.

amazing place, fantastic food, fantastic staff. The best place in panania!
The service is great! They always give us extra food after school whenever we order something. We appreciate it so much! 💗 Also their food is absolutely delicious! We always get the fresh fruit crepe, or the macaroon for snacks!
A beautiful place to start the day. Very friendly Barista and great coffee.
This cafe is under new management but it’s better than before. Wider range of food while they kept the favourites (Portuguese tarts, almond rolls, sponge napkins etc). I love that they have honoured the legacy.
I went in there today and they popped in a couple of extras to my order. I was delighted. Lovely service

Best coffee and yummy food and wonderful friendly service from ELIM CAFE - our favourite place in Oatley. Why not try the signature dish Nasi Goreng or one of the other specials from the board as well as their wraps.
We visited Sydney from Canberra to meet some of our clients. This place next to Sydney Central Station, nice atmosphere cool place, very friendly staff, moderate prices.... hi
Amazing coffee and custard tarts with great service!
Had the sausage roll with salad and chips, sausage roll was plain and tasteless, and rock hard on the bottom, salad wasn't fresh and chips were barely passable. Coffee was ok and the iced choc was ok, flavoured milk pored over ice with icecream dumped in it does not pass the test
Lovely little coffee shop owned an Iranian gentleman. Had a cappuccino & caramel slice for $11
A nice coffee and tasty chicken and avacado roll.
Service was great, prices reasonable and food was fresh. Good to see people passionate about their service. Seeing regulars is always a good sign! Doesn’t pretend to be anything but a good experience and it delivers. 5 Yummies.
Both coffee and food are great. Very cheap too. Chick avocado toast is my usual go
The young lady barista (think she's a couple days in or so!) but absolutely amazing asked how id like my mocha and did an amazing job! And the vibes of this place is so great very very happy ❤️
Shockingly bad food and service! Took over an hour for the food to come to our table only to arrive cold. We had arrived two traditional eggs benedict with smoked salmon. There was barely any salmon on it, the bread tasted old and stale. Easily the worst eggs benedict salmon I’ve ever had in my whole life. Overpriced, bad service, and bad food! Don’t waste your time or money on this place!
Delicious food great service
2.3 - As much as I wanted to give this a high rating, I couldn't. I loved the actual garden setting but the food was not very good at all. I got a basic Pho, which every good Vietnamese restaurant should but the soup was lacking in flavour and depth. The ingredients were lacking and the noodle were too soft. Hoped that the iced coffee would be a lovely beverage to quench our thirst but it was barely a sip for the price that we would normally get a full tall glass for. They're moving soon so I will keep a lookout for their new restaurant and see if they will fix any of these things.
Shop was closed though it says here on google maps its open till 5pm. No proper times shown anywhere and that black board aint really helpful either...
Great coffee, aromatic and tasted amazing. A tad on the pricey side though.
Good tasting coffee, made with love (we had a beautiful seahorse on ours and a swan). Surprisingly high brow desserts (rose and pistachio torte) that reminded us of our time in the middle east! Well worth a visit.
Very friendly and attentive staff. I had the pie chips and salad. The pie which was made in store did not disappoint. Real mushrooms and soft chunks of meat. Recommended!
Great coffee in a chilled, secluded spot. And always served with a smile! :-)
Fantastic service and even better food and coffee. These guys are absolute Legends. If you are wanting consistency no matter who serves you, You have to go to this cafe 🫶🏽
Some of the tastiest pastries and desserts in the area. I would definitely recommend trying the cream eclair.
Really nice owner with great service.
However, sorry to say but coffee was weak and only tasted milk.

Nice small cafe/restaurant with lovely people and quick service. It is mostly outdoor seats which are arranged and decorated nicely to compensate as much as possible for being on the side of a busy intersection. The food tastes nice but slightly more expensive than expected.
Bar Tosca, you can't go anywhere else for the Best Coffee in Elizabeth Street, Sydney. I started coming here about 3 months ago and as soon as Bill sees me coming around the corner, he is making my Coffee. Bill the Barista remembers everyone's order and takes no time at all to make your coffee. Bill knows everyone by name and greets all his customers and whilst you have a morning chat about what is happening in the world or your plans for the weekend, Bill is getting your Long Black or Cappuccino ready. Nina serves absolutely the best food, and everything is quick and hot, whenever my Boss comes to Sydney, he always has one of Nina's breakfasts - he says it's always the best.
Love to support local and try new places. Happened across this cute little street side cafe when in the Havelock / Emerald St area. Nothing was too much trouble. Shady outside tables with parasols with a pleasant outlook along tree lined Hay St. Excellent pricing with a good range of sandwiches and small bites. Super friendly and kind staff. Jiun even toasted my BLT and brought me out an extra cup of water.
Got to love Perth! And I love the graphics on the cups!! Thanks for a tasty, reasonably priced lunch, Juin.

Nice strong coffee :)
Decent coffee… I wouldn’t crave it tho.
Woke up and had a quick errand in the city, as I was walking back to my car I could smell delicious coffee down the street and found Amisa Cafe. I met a lovely man at the counter who was dedicated to curating a good, strong coffee and that’s exactly what I got.
Wonderful service and great coffee, thank you Amisa Cafe!

Prices all over the place. Not too bad at all. I can gather what it's like to work here though with the manager barking orders at the girls working after they stood still for about 10 seconds. Coffees and sweets good
Don’t get the mango smoothie, it doesn’t taste like mango at all and could mostly just taste honey
Great food and a big variety for breakfast.
One of the best places for breakfast in the area on my opinion.
I want to go again for lunch and dinner so I can give another review.

Really great for quality Vietnamese food. The place had really nice decor and atmosphere. Staff was friendly and quick service. Food was excellent and freshly made. Had the Bahn Xeo (pancakes) and Nem nuong (pork skewers). The pancakes was really fresh, nice crunch and lots of meat. Pork skewers was perfectly cooked and a nice chew.
The Gentleman serving as a Barista is heaven sent.
His whole vibe and tone of conversation is magnificent.
Thank you for making my day better ❤️👏
Oh and the coffee is lovely

Table 32, after struggling to find a table and just about to leave JESS, asked if she could help us (we were with my sister in law who had a Zimmer frame), She quickly found us a table and on request turned up the fan for us as it was very hot. Also quickly got some lovely cool ice for my sister in law as she was getting very distressed with heat. We had a dog MAGGIE with us and Jess made a great fuss over our dog. Thank you so much Jess for making our visit enjoyable- went above and beyond for us today.
Had breakfast with my adult kids before plant shopping at Waldecks. 2 had eggs benedict one with ham one had bacon which they said was fine with eggs poached nicely. One had smashed avocado with haloumi etc which he enjoyed and I had the big breakfast which was fine but I wish they would have half sized serves. Special shout out to whoever cooked the tomato as often it comes out hard and hardly cooked and the hash brown was nice. Tables were roomy and not too cramped together which we appreciated as we had a pram with us. It was quite busy on a Saturday morning but we didn't have too long a wait.
Catered a lunch event for my workplace. The wraps were amazing and so fresh ! Would definitely recommend.
Great food options

Great coffee. Chicken parmigiana was good.
The service was outstanding! Will definitely be back soon and would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing place to have some lovely food/coffee!
My sweetheart & I had coffee & cake this morning. Hotbeverages were great. Creme brulee scrumptious.
However we were very disappoined that we were charged 0.50cents for the short macchiato to be topped up. Never paid extra money for a macchiato to be topped up in any other cafes or restaurants.
Furthermore we were charged a surcharge of 1.5% for using EFTPOS . There were no signs indicating there would be a surcharge. Also we had to ask for a receipt.
Shame as the food & beverages were excellent. We will not be returning.

Stopped in for brekkie. We ordered the brekkie burger and brekkie wrap. Service was very quick , great atmosphere as well. Food was very nice. My friend and I were dancing to the music while seated in our chairs. They also have an outdoor seating area which would be perfect in summer.
Staff super friendly. Latte was lovely. Portuguese Tart unbelievably delicious, best one I’ve had in years & the Saturday special ‘Chorizo Bread’ was super soft & full of flavour. Hands down 10/10
Great friendly service at the café which is located opposite St Christopher primary school. There's a parking lot beside the cafe as well and it's a short walk from Panania train station. The chocolate muffin is soft and moist, not too sweet. The portugese tart was a bit too sweet for me but they are supposed to be their famous pastry.
Very friendly and welcoming staff here. While I waited for my food to be brought to my table (which was only a minute or two) I observed some staff talking to a customer, with a level of familiarity that suggests the customer was a regular attendee. The venue looks modern and clean, with plenty of seating available inside and outside.
I got a small flat-white coffee, a serving of Spanakopita, and a raspberry friand. The coffee was strong and flavourful, the Spanakopita was delicious, and was served with a salad which consisted of slices of tomato, and a few pieces of what may be rocket and basil leaves. Despite the apparent simplicity of the salad, I thought that it provided an ideal complement to the Spanakopita, and had just enough salad dressing to add a delightful hint of flavour. The friand was moist and tasty with a nice texture.
After I had finished, staff members took the time to ask me how I enjoyed my meal, and also spoke a little about their coffee choice and preparation method. People who enjoy what they do, the type of place I'd like to visit again. Recommended.

Had a delicious breakfast here with my daughter. Have already recommended to friends and family. The scrambled eggs and hot chocolates were excellent. Very well priced. Will be back!
The staff are wonderful and the coffee is the best... food is superb
I can go on and on about how the coffee and cakes were. All I am going to say is.. excellent. Enjoyed both our cakes and coffees. Can see the care that goes into the food here. Do go here for a coffee. You will absolutely enjoy it.
I wouldn’t recommend this cafe - the hashbrowns are not at all the same as pictured in these reviews and they taste very odd, same with the baked beans that are actually a mix of beans and chickpeas in a chutney type sauce. Everything else was ok but they did charge us $1 extra for my coffee to be served in a mug without telling us and when I asked they said it’s because the mug has an extra shot (they didn’t tell us this at all). Would be good if they were more transparent about pricing and had pictures on the menu. Only good thing was the fact that they had multiple outdoor heaters.
Their Salads and buns are really good. I have had the falafel and pumpkin Salad and vegetarian bun
Very friendly place owned by Amy who seems to know the regulars by their names! The Breakfast Burger (A$16) is very tasty and “crunchy” and it feels good to eat in a cozy friendly place. Will definitely return to try their dinner menu. Cafe is located opposite Macquarie Park metro station, currently obscured partially by construction nearby.
Great coffee with homemade fresh carrot cake and so cool atmosphere. Specially the staff is so polite and welcoming.
Go and grab ur coffee before, in break and after your work or study.

I had the chance to try different things on the menu and I’ve never been disappointed: food is simply amazing, rich in flavour and portions are very abundant.
Hard to find a favourite dish, but I would personally suggest the waffles, the breakfast bruschetta or the breakfast burger. Everything is excellent.
On top of that, Amy and her staff are extremely friendly and contribute to an excellent service.
Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience here today. All team members were incredibly helpful and went out of their way to assist with my dietary requirements. The food and coffee were delicious and I'll definitely be coming back!
Awesome coffee with plenty of tasty treats made even better with their renovation.
Staff was rude,
I had a flatwhite and bacon egg roll, coffee was terrible, tasted like just burnt milk nothing coffee in. bacon egg roll was just bacon egg roll.

Had trouble deciding since there are plenty of choices for a cafe. Finally settled with Teriyaki grilled salmon and beef pho noodle soup. These were pack of flavour. The beef noodle soup was heart warming and the salad had pomegranate which was a really refreshing addition to the whole dish. The egg normally added to the combination rice was at an extra cost.
Little on the pricey side but strategically positioned across the metro station. Not aware of any free parking spots.

Food was very average and bland. Seemed like it was microwaved and used old ingredients. Smoothies were delicious and the service was good and the place was very nice however food was a let down.
Such a lovely local cafe! The owners are so sweet and welcoming and the food is top notch. We both ordered the steak sandwich ($26) which was all prepared from scratch - the steak was super tender, the mushrooms and onions were delicious and the relish pulled everything together. They even served it with fries (always a good thing) and then gave us a free little dessert to finish it off.
We spied a delicious prawn and mango salad dish that looked amazing as well, so would definitely recommend giving this place a go.
There are also outdoor tables if you fancy sitting outside.

A nice suburban patisserie that has one of Sydney's best Portuguese Tarts. Slightly sweeter than the other ones I've tried, but was well balanced. The pastry was also crispy, even when it was slightly cold. Recommend to give it a try and to come early. Sometimes it sells out. I'll be back again in the future for other pastries =).
Great coffee and food
Excellent cafe in Oatley, coffee is great 👍, love the nasi goreng full of flavour. Wonderful service and friendly owners. Outside seatings available. Definitely will try other dishes again.
Small modern corner coffee shop, lovely shop deco and atmosphere. Coffee was great.
Affordable Cafe, but nothing to write home about. The bacon and egg roll was cheap, but barely any bacon. The coffee was alright, but a bit watery on the large size.
Service by the guy was good as hes quite proactive. Location is very convenient too.

We stumbled across this place whilst walking in Sydney. Was pleasantly surprised by how cheap the food and drinks were however there were quite a few issues we had with the quality and service provided. We were served our coffees well after people that had got there after us, there was eggshell in one of the bacon and egg rolls, the bagel was stale, scrambled eggs cold and salmon tasted off. The coffee was well below average and tough to drink… not impressed, has so much potential but barely enough staff to achieve results.
Love it

Best coffee in the Northern Beaches region; the Long Mac topped-up is excellent! Food & service is consistently great. Josh is a great chef; I highly recommend his Ham, Cheese & Tomato Omelette.
Delicious foods, great portions and best hospitality from the owner.
Coffee and cake this morning at this quaint Cafe.
Service was excellent. Food great but I felt there could have been more sweet options.
I had the carrot cake which was moist & scrumptious.
My hubby had the citrus tart which was delicious.
Hot chocolate was extra hot as requested. Short macchiato was average.
We will definitely return.

Very friendly service, quiet & spacious outdoor setting great for bike riders. Most importantly of all, it serves one of the best coffee in the neighbourhood! Highly recommended!
Really nice. Enjoyed the brunch. Loads of plant, flowers, etc for sale they have. It's lovely to even just walk around the big shop after meal. Bought some beautiful flowers as well. Lovely staff in cafe and shop. Will definitely go back. Recommended 100%
Lovely, friendly staff. Quick service, yummy fresh food, good variety for a small Cafe. 💛💛💛
Incredible coffee, amazing service, the girls are so personable and fun. Good vibes all round!
Amazing coffee and incredible service
Beautiful and comfort place for brekkie. Love the environment as you can see lots of beautiful plants and flowers which bring a smile for your mood straight away. Kind and friendly staff and serve good coffee and food. A great place for catch up and family gatherings indeed👍
Coffee is very nice, very friendly owner and sandwiches are very fresh. Have come here a few times and is always perfect.
Absolutely beautiful coffee. Great staff, make the effort to go a little above and beyond :)
To be honest...... I had seen a few comments some time ago about the not so good experiences here, so was not expecting to much.
Wow...... you must have really cleaned up your act..... firstly Maddison was so attentive to getting our order right, and although was slammed busy..... still went and checked in the kitchen that there were more desert if the Lemon Meringue Pie on display sold out.
She then read the order back to us to make sure it was right before we paid.
And then the food arrived and it looked fantastic and believe me it tasted fantastic.... 5* all round.
Well done Maddison and Waldecks, we will be back again very soon.

The $10 rolls looked good on Friday, not so great Monday and rotting in the cabinet Is the only way to describe that same roll Wednesday. Yes it is the same roll I took a photo on Monday and Wednesday . When I brought a coffee Monday I mentioned it to the staff member that the the roll looked good on Friday not so great today(Monday) ,she laughed . Sorry but I don't find food poisoning funny! Absolutely shocked to see the same rolls being sold Wednesday, even more shocked when my friend told me the cabinet didn't feel cold enough to be refrigerated. Unfortunately this is common in this area, there's a very good reason why I stick to the coffee. Why would I pay $10 for a 5 day old roll I wouldn't eat from my own fridge? I pay $5.50 for a sandwich from a truck stop filled with fresh ingredients ,salad ,cheese and two meats .I once got one for $3 because it was 12 hours(not days) old, If a truck stop in the country can sell great food why can't city cafes at least provide Edible food?
I got a scone on the Friday $5 dry and horrible, still selling them monday . At least the iced latte was good.

Delicious chicken caesar salad with good size of chicken breast. Friendly staff and great customer service. Definitely will go again and try other dishes in the menu.
Good coffee here, lots of flavour. Haven't tried much else apart from banana bread, which is also very good. I do really enjoy the service here. The staff are hard working but also seem to have a lot of fun and laughs, so it's a nice place to visit for a break, and get a little sun outdoors.
Staff are very friendly and nice, and there's a good breakfast deal of coffee + croissant for $7.50. Only 3 stars because coffee wasn't very good. Not terrible, but tasted watery and not great.
Great coffee and toasties
Really satisfied with latte here. Foam is dense and good latte art. Friendly staff :)
Their vegetable soup of the day for $9.. Potatoes and Carrot cooked and served with bread. Absolutely no thought on what a soup should taste like. BTW none of the salt shakers worked either and no one cared to help out.
Great coffee!
A quiet but homely place popular with the locals. Service was very friendly and efficient. The food had a home cooked feel. Prices very reasonable. Can thoroughly recommend.
Great coffee & goodies at nice prices for the CBD, and there is even space to sit and enjoy it on premises. Always great service with a smile!
Great coffee
Its a small cafe with amazing coffee and food. I love the sandwiches they have especially the pesto pumpkin sandwich. The staff is very amazing and it has a beautiful outdoor seating.
Great little lunch spot. Beautiful staff, cutest great tasting coffees, and a really yummy caesar salad on the menu. Lovely spot to just sit and chat for hours on end.
Great selection of coffee including an amazing cold filtered. Yoghurt and museli best value breakfast in the area!
