Not as good as I had hoped for. Had brunch on the weekend, coffee was quite good. Baked egg and chorizo was a bit bland and dry. One of the other egg based dish had bacon, corn and other ingredients which overpowered each other and didn't really work well.
Great food (best breakfast in Sydney imo), the works breakfast is always a good introduction. My personal favourite is the Pumpkin Goats Cheese Spinach and pine nut Fettuccini, very tasty.
Fresh juices are great. Very fresh and a wonderful start to a day. I've been here at least 10 times and have never been disappointed. Recommended for anyone that likes good food. Prices are (imo) fitting. You DO get what you pay for.
Good menu selection, interesting variations and great value compared to so many breakfast places around Sydney. The leek & goats cheese scrambled eggs are great and a huge serving.
Pleasant, unobtrusive, but lacking in wow factor. I tried the Italian fried eggs as recommended by a previous reviewer - different, but I don't think I'll go for it again. It's not that is wasn't good - it was fine but I was looking to try something new and it didn't really hit the spot. Maybe good for you though!?
My companions had very nice breakfasts. On the whole, not bad but there's better about.
Moving from Pyrmont to Erskineville 2 years ago, we really miss our weekend breakfast at this great little cafe. If they still do it, the scrambled eggs with goats cheese is heavenly. The coffee is pretty good, though slightly larger cups would be better value.
I can't say enough about this fantastic cafe. The sign of a GREAT establishment is one that openly accepts positive/constructive feedback from it's clientèle and turns it into a more enjoyable dining experience everytime. As popular as this cafe is, the staff there always manage to give that special 'personal touch' which keeps happy diners and happy tummys coming back again and again. The works breakfast here is really a WORKS breakfast unlike some other pyrmont cafes that advertise this. Goes down perfectly with the berry and banana frape too. C-man.
Having moved to Pyrmont for a 1 month and always walk past Concrete on the way to work and back, its always filled with diners. So thought we'd give it a go one sunday for brunch. The waiters were efficient. Ordered the "Works breakfast" which included everything, bacon, sausage, turkish toast with egg, tomato, hash brown with baby spinach. Very filling and generous size, the price is a tad pricey, definitely try the "Italian Fried eggs". It was a great meal and definitely will go back again.
Although I used to think Concrete's menu consisted of nothing more than a collection of boring omelettes, I was pleasantly surprised on a recent return visit. The wait staff are professional and efficient. I really enjoyed my corncakes with crispy bacon. Finally a cafe that doesn't burn bacon to bits (maybe I've been eating in the food and culture void of Crow's Nest too long.) It's probably between Concrete and Cafe XXII for the weekend pick of the cafes in Pyrmont now.
