Cute cafe but shame about the food. Went there for breakfast this morning and had the ricotta hotcakes. They were awful, brown, rubbery pancakes with stale melon served on top. I bet the batter had been sitting in the fridge for days. Was really, really disappointed. Will not be back. Better off paying an extra five bucks and going across the road to Bills, where the ricotta hotcakes are always outstanding.

I went here for a Mother's Day brunch with my hubby and 1yr old, and surprisingly, there were other kids there as well (not so common in the smaller inner city cafes) and the staff were super friendly and accommodating (moving the tables and chairs a bit to fit the stroller in). The food was excellent, as well! I was very pleased and was raving about my special Mothers Day brunch to my girlfriends for weeks.

Yum! A definite favourite amongst the bustle and preen of the city. Always a pity that there aren't places like this with great mochas, delicious brekkies and creative flair out here in the wild West.

Had a pretty average Piccolo latte here on the weekend. Not necessarily bad,
but not very flavorful and a had flat finish. Have not tried the food yet, but the menu looks nice, the prices are very good, but would not go back for a coffee.

As a local who has eaten at most of the local Surry cafes, Fifi's serves the best coffee at a reasonable price and there is nothing more relaxing than watching the world go by from a 'gnome' stool. The staff are very friendly and the breakfast menu is delicious!

The coffee's definitely worth the wait and the cafe is well-positioned for some of Sydney's best people watching. All over, a great little place.

I'm not a steak sandwich type of girl but I was told about it by a friend. I will now drive an hour for that steak sandwich!!! It's so good.

I had chicken schnitzel and chips. It was nice but they only had 3 thin, small pieces and the rest of the plate was stuffed with chips. It's not a place I would eat at everyday.

Their chicken schnitzel sandwich could be the best sandwich I have ever had. Great value for takeaway and the service is always great. I work nearby, and I don't know what I would do for lunch if they weren't around!
