Little on the side is a regular favourite of mine. The coffee (Campos) is always great, the food is always quick, fresh & delicious and the staff are always friendly. The menu isn't large, but there are a good variety of choices including vegetarian options, which is fantastic. A great, friendly place for brekkie.

Came here for breakfast on a weekday after reading some good reviews. The cafe itself is quite cute and small, in an awkwardly shaped triangular corner block. The menu too is basic and short. We had eggs benedict with bacon and sourdough toast with avocado and smoked salmon. Food was simple, good and honest using quality produce. A pleasant no frills establishment that I would visit again.

A bit disappointed. After reading the reviews made the effort to come here. We were confronted with serious attitude from the waitress who, before we even sat down, asked what we wanted to drink. At that point we hadn't seen the menu and when we took a little too long for her liking she snapped 'Well have you made up your mind'.

The pancakes were nice although the coconut was very, very subtle. The balance of the banana and sauce was good though. My companion had eggs which I believe were excellent. The cafe is small so you tend to be sitting on top of those around you. A nice breaky venue for those in the local area.

Others have given this cafe consistently strong reviews and they are well deserved. It is my wife's favourite cafe in Darlington and given the strength of the competition in the area that is high praise.

They've got an inventive menu. My favourite is the chorizo sausage omelette with sourdough bread. My wife's is their unique style of pancake. My only gripe is that they don't have fresh orange juice. The service is great. They have quite a small floor area but they have managed to turn it into a very pleasant place to sit and eat.

Given the quality of the food prices are quite reasonable. Unlike most other cafes in the area they take cards. Keep up the great work guys!

All round a fantastic place to catch up with friends for brunch. The coconut pancakes were to die for. Can't wait to go back for more!

Amazing cafe on the ground level of an apartment block and nestled in amongst more. I can safely say one of my favourite breakfast joints in Sydney. I understand this is a big call to make, however let me list its pros: Campos coffee, helpful and friendly staff who will bend over backwards to help out in any way they can, frequent menu changes allowing returning patrons to try out something different on each visit, a funky yet relaxed atmosphere inside and out .. did I mention the staff?? No??? Fantastic service indeed.

This used to be my regular for a while until I moved, I think it's time I paid them a visit for the best breakfast you can get in Sydney.

After reading the reviews some girlfriends and I ventured out to this cafe. After 3 coffees each and breakfast, we couldn't agree more!! Amazing coffee, excellent service and a great atmosphere. Oh an easy parking right outside. Will definitely go back!

Someone else said this is the perfect breakfast café; I couldn't agree more! Coffee is excellent (Campos) and food is made fresh on the premises. My banana and walnut bread, served with ricotta-honey-cinnamon was just wonderful.

The staff are happy and friendly, and the doors are open at 7am. There's plenty of variety in seating options too. I plan to come back regularly as long as they keep this standard up.
