Regular for breakfast or lunch here and it always very good - the service is friendly and efficient and now really like the night time cafe option for Rozelle/Balmain. A local favourite.
This is my favourite Sunday morning restaurant. Really friendly staff. The service can be somewhat inconsistent, but the food is always good. We have also started enjoying their evening meal service. Love the specials board, and the desserts are great.
As a local I love Cafe Next for breakfast on Sunday. The coffee is exceptional, the design and funky beats playing unobtrusively in the background as you read the paper, relax and watch Rozelle pass by makes Cafe Next worth the trip. Get in early on Sundays as it is popular with the locals and not a big space.
Where do I start?? I feel like I have honestly found my favourite daytime eating place in the world! The food is undoubtedly what makes this place, and the coffee is always satisfying. I love the variety of the menu alone, but there are always awesome daily breakfast and lunchtime specials too.
A real foodies place with professional and accommodating staff, a warm and friendly atmosphere, little cupcakes that are to die for, and love the new courtyard! Can't recommend it enough. Whatever you are looking for, I personally think it can be found at Cafe Next.
In case anyone is misled, this cafe is in Darling St Rozelle, not Balmain. Went there with a group for lunch in the post-Christmas period and the kitchen was definitely not coping. It was 15 minutes before our order was taken, then another 50 before the meals arrived. The waitress worked hard and was apologetic and the meals and coffee were OK but didn't warrant such a long wait.
What a great little place - We went there for breakfast this morning and left feeling very contented. Plenty of choice on the menu - the scrambled eggs were great - really decent sized servings and fresh, tasty food. Coffee was good and service was really efficient. Would definitely go back - Great place to spend a lazy, Sunday morning.
The guy who took my order got it wrong, so I told him that's not what I ordered. Then I've got a lecture that I was the wrong one! He even said that now he has to make new one for me! That was very rude. It seemed like his most priority is chatting with regular customer. So loud and made it very unpleasant that we had to listen to everything. Also we've got overcharged. Therefore, I'm not going back.
Took the family here for lunch after a visit to Rozelle markets. Great coffee, excellent specials board. My son loved the "hangover beans" and my daughter made short work of the crepes with berries and ice-cream. Service was efficient even with a full lunchtime crowd. One of the better cafes on Darling Street.
I was pleasantly surprised on my third visit to be recognised at Cafe Next. The food is always well cooked and presented and the menu is changed regularly with a few surprises thrown in. The coffee is excellent and well blended. I was with overseas visitors and they were impressed. Well done.
