The Gallery Cafe

Nice enough atmosphere and typical cafe prices. However, ordered 'scones', strongly implying a serving of 2 scones. What I got was two miniature scones easily falling short of a single regular scone in total size. Pretty disappointed.

Ordered soba noodle salad, not bad, but just wish the noodle to be a little bit warmer, not ice cold, will be much better.

Very disappointing café. The prices were reasonable. The food was good though the selection was limited. However, the biggest issue was the dirty state of the dining area, along with the pigeons that were flying around inside the building, picking up abandoned food and throwing it all over the place. The café staff were quite polite, however, they seem so shortstaffed they were unable to keep up with the mess which the pigeons took advantage of. Again, this wasn’t in the outdoor seating area but inside the building. Quite unsanitary that pigeons are walking and picking at food on the tables, and then another family would sit down and eat at the same.

Amazing fancy cafe, beautiful seating area. The prices were very low for the crazy quality of food and service. Food came so quick I thought it was someone else's order but it was wasn't!!! 5/5 must go and try all their yummy desserts

Came for a quick coffee and cake with Mum during a visit to the AGNSW.

We were kindly seated to our table outside and given an option of where we wanted to sit.

We were also provided options on how to order - either via QR code at the table or inside at the counter.

Our coffees and cakes came out promptly. Coffee was really good and cakes were nice. I had the orange and bee pollen cake and Mum had the black Forrest. Both had lovely flavours.

I asked our waiter for table water and I was directed to the self service inside the restaurant (I don’t generally like this approach). But, overall I can’t fault the cafe. I will definitely return.

Located inside AGNSW South wing

We enjoyed brunch and ordered the following:

- Yuzu iced tea - $7 - 4.5 ⭐️ (a bit too much ice)
- Iced Mocha - $5 - 4.5⭐️ (too much ice)
- Bagel with Halloumi - $16 - 5⭐️👌🏼(love the combination of flavours!)
- Soba Noodle Salad - $16.5 - 5 ⭐️ 👌🏼 (big servings!!!) good for 2
- Mandarin and Yoghurt Cake - $8 - 2.5⭐️ (expected more from this cake. It tasted like the one you buy in grocery stores. )

Pros:
- prices are not that much pricey for a museum cafe
- healthy choices!
- has QR code for easy ordering

Cons:
- Limited menu choices. Suggestion to add more like Pasta, rice mains etc

Also added their menu here. See photos!

It's a solid 4. You get what you expect here.
Menu selection is slightly restricted as it is only a small interior cafe, not a full restaurant. Limited to breakfast style options. Pricing a little high for the portion sizing, however you are eating inside the Art Gallery and so; to be expected.
The service was extremely fast surprising due to the amount of people dining in. A slight failure was an iced mocha that turned into an iced latte by the time it reached our table.
