    9.3 Highly Recommended

    I've been to both cafes and it's incredible that they have both achieved a great vibe. So different but equally so great for similar reasons. Friendly staff, great coffee and delicious fresh food.

    Went there for dinner with friends and had a great time. They gave us a nice table upstairs next to the window facing the Surry Hills library. The food was lovely and the staff very friendly. Loved the fact they aren't pretentious as many places in Surry Hills. Very laid-back atmosphere, good food & nice service. Can't get better than that. Definitely recommend it!

    Nice place, simple but tasty food. I had a toasted tuna melt, tasty and great coffee. Good place to just meander around on Sunday afternoon and to find something to read.

    I went to Ampersand the other day and seriously don't know what people are raving about. Most likely it's the only cafe in the area that locals can go to and the fact it's on the human traffic highway that is Oxford St.

    The sandwich I ordered was overcooked on the outside and cold on the inside, the coffee burnt and bitter. The woman with glasses serving was pretentious and fake, overwrought with a supercilious obsequiousness that I find contemptible in these kind of establishments. The staff have no time for you as they seem to be completely overworked by whoever runs the joint and don't look like they're happy to be there.

    Yeah, big deal. It's an old bookstore that has a cafe. You can find much better food and ambiance in closer cafes for a cheaper price. I won't be back. Nor will my friends. Or whoever I have time to tell about my banal, mundane experience.

    Great atmosphere! It's so nice that you can sit down with a book and have a really nice coffee. The food is great too!
