Great breakfasts! Get in early to get a table. Check the black board for the Savory Mince on Toast w Poached Egg which is so yummy! The coffee is seriously good.

I have switched my breakfast allegiance to Zinc from La Bavette recently. The coffee is better and the food generally is good but can be patchy on a busy weekend. It is the perfect spot to have a lazy late breakfast and watch the beautiful people wander by. It is very Sydney.

Service is atrocious. Cold, hurried and unhelpful. A friendly customer at the table next to us asked the waiter where his accent was from and the senior staff came over and literally hissed at the waiter who immediately ran off (presumably to be whipped and beaten). The staff have far too much attitude and management should know that the customer should always come first. I can't stand staff that are rude or aloof. It doesn't cost anything to smile!

The food can be hit and miss and as some good dishes have recently gone down hill I suspect the Chef may have been replaced. Breakfasts are usually ok but if the place is busy then it's not uncommon to have something burnt.

The evening menu at three courses for $25 can be good value if the entree is substantial but lately the entree has been a just a few leaves posing as a salad. As the desserts are tiny what you're really paying for is $20 just for a very small main course. Check the menu before you go!

Really good coffee, a nice breakfast, lovely service. The $25 dinner is unbelievably good value for three courses.

Easy for a last minute coffee stop. Came here on an early Sunday afternoon for a quick coffee, ended up staying for a couple of hours. Highly recommend the bruschetta and the steak sandwich (unfortunately, we weren't that hungry so can only rate the 2 dishes we had). As previous reviewers have mentioned, great spot to relax and watch the world go by! Pet friendly so bring along that best friend.

Nice place to relax and people watching, food is good, service is average to good (depends how busy it is). They do the best buttermilk pancakes in this neighbourhood. Come here at least once a week for breakfast.

Good coffee in the morning with muffins straight out of the oven, a brilliant way to start the day. Hot fabulous soups for lunch and an extraordinary $25 set menu at night. If it were not for all the other eateries in the area, why wouldn’t you spend all day at this friendly little cafe/restaurant?

I had a lovely time here. The set menu was a well balanced and delicious meal that left me feeling satisfied but not over-full. The dessert was the best. Service was excellent and the timing of each course was perfect. I will be back.
