Staff are super friendly and prompt but the quality of the food has slipped markedly over the past six months. I use to go regularly for a good but basic breakfast. The portions in the full breakfast have now shrunk: you only get one bacon rasher, a reduced pile of rubbery mushrooms, an anorexic sausage with two eggs, a hash brown and half a tomato. The quality of the tea has also slipped, it tastes like lightly toasted saw dust steeped in hot water. There is cost cutting but this has gone too far.

I am sorry to say that I was very disappointed with the service there. I have been doing community work in that area for quite a long time, working with homeless persons, people with mental health/drud and alcohol issues. Went there for dinner a few times, nothing spectacular about it.

What was more disappointing was that last week I went there for coffee with one of my clients, one of their staff came out, asked us to leave in a not so polite manner. Now, we are talking about Kings Cross/Potts Point here, if you don't like the look of 99% of the locals, why not open shop somewhere else?

How good is this place!!! Thought I would try somewhere new. Staff are so friendly, food is great value and far too big a serve for any girl to complete. Service is fantastic. Great place to watch the world go by and enjoy a meal and relax. I recommend you try it once, you will keep going back.

First of all, very good value for money. Food is cheap, yet the ingredients used are very high quality, quite rare. The food is delicious, ambience is so comfy and nice. Very relaxed yet great service.

A great little place with tasty food that fills a gap. Best breakfast in Potts Point, great for a quick or a long lunch and always great when you just want a beer and some simple food in the evening. Unpretentious like alot of the eateries in the area, the service is always good. Perfect for when you just want to watch the world go by with a bite to eat or a cuppa!

A place with character, a good atmosphere and nice friendly service. Though doesn't really cater for vegetarian/vegans so It's no good for me but the meat eaters seemed to like it.

Great location and service, however the food was a bit disappointing. Ordered the surf n turf. Requested the steak cooked medium however it came out rare, with the blood seeping through the mashed potato.

Don't tell anyone about this local's cafe. Set amongst a sea of backpackers, residents and assorted others. The variety of people and life on display from the front tables could be considered Sydney's best. One of the best breakfasts in Sydney and the Summer Eggs, Toasts or Benedict are divine.
