Very busy cafe in Peakhurst and if you can find parking I recommend heading here for brunch!…read more I visited this cafe for the first time with 3 girlfriends and a baby (highchairs available) and we were all very impressed with the coffees, menu and decor. I chose the Leg Ham w/ Eggs Benedict which was really tasty. The leg ham was delicious and plentiful with 2 perfectly poached eggs and a great Hollandaise sauce which was surprisingly not overfilling. There were also finely cut pieces of crunchy sweet potato on top giving it another element and texture. My meal and small soy coffee came to $21 which I thought was reasonable and I didn't leave feeling full and tired (I sound like an 80 yo woman). The service was a little slow and sloppy at times but the waitresses were very friendly which made up for it and they also provided a split bill service which is always a bonus for groups.

Grabbed two coffees, bottle of sparkling water and cookie for $17 which isn't too bad. Coffees were ok, not amazing. Milk was a bit to hot and coffee was bitter (could have used sugar) however all things considered was ok for not knowing the neighborhood. If I'm in the area I might pop back and give it another go and check out the breaky.

Decided to take a field trip to Kingsgrove with a friend since I'm a burger lover and I saw a photo…read moreof their burger somewhere and it looked good. The head chef here received an internship at Noma, so you know they must be doing something right. The food is a mix of Australian and Greek, you'll see influences in each dish. They have plenty of space here, so it's a good place for group outings, catching up with friends or even a semi-casual date. The coffee is on the expensive side at $4.50 a cup, but my flat white was velvety smooth to be fair, so I didn't mind the higher price. My friend and I ordered the grass fed double cheeseburger on brioche, the hand cut chips with feta, and the Kritharaki (orzo in napolitana sauce with tiger prawn) to share. The hand cut chips were awesome....definitely a must get plus a massive portion too. The Kritharaki was also very tasty, highly recommend this too. As for the burger, it was alright. It was a little bit burnt and salty so it definitely looks better than it tastes, 3.5/5 for the burger. If this place was located close to the CBD I would probably come pretty often since I live by the CBD, but since it's out in Kingsgrove I probably won't make the trek unless it was a special occasion. Great place for people close to Kingsgrove, not so much for others.

Walking into Kingsgrove pottery, it is the restaurant buzzing with life. Full of warmth and an inviting open plan layout, you are welcomed by friendly attentive staff. There are outdoor tables as well as a large indoor seating area capable of hosting events and parties. Coffee: Good, comes in normal or mug size. Food: A mix of Greek and Middle Eastern. We had the beef burger, falafel salad (best falafel!) and the beef sandwich. Delicious and flavours were well balanced. You leave this place so full! Definitely coming back ... and Super loving the locality!

We decided to grab a sandwich from this place after an incredibly positive referral from a good…read morefriend of ours. It was around lunchtime on Friday and the place was full of customers, which doesn't take many people considering it is quite small. It is a little cafe/take-away shop a couple doors up from Bardwell Park station yet it is surprisingly quiet considering its location. There isn't a great deal of seating so I would be mindful when going as peak hours could make it quite difficult to grab a table. However, they do keep some tables and chairs out the back just in case they encounter a few extra customers than they expected. It had a simple yet modern style & decor with Italian music playing softly in the background - my kind of atmosphere! Known for its excellent sandwiches, it features a black board showcasing around 10 different sandwiches for the picking. There are also various Italian style sweets available for purchase for those that would oblige. Of course, you have your standard selection of hot and cold beverages, coffees included. We decided to grab a chicken wrap costing us $10 each which is great value considering the size of these wraps. They are very large & packed with plenty of ingredients. The chicken was cooked perfectly, the vegetables were fresh, the bread was spot of and the sweet chilli sauce was delicious! And to think it only cost $10 - a "value for money" miracle in this day and age! To compliment the great chicken wrap was the coffee that followed. A great little coffee with plenty of flavour to finish off the great lunch. Also, the staff at the counter were very welcoming with an overtly passionate demeanour about them which really created a positive atmosphere across the cafe. This was something that really added to our experience on the day, it's amazing how much value "passion" can add to a business. This may have been the first time I have been to Pinocchio Cafe, but it will certainly not be my last - excellent service, delicious food & very attractive prices!

I'd be reminiscing about running late - and eventually skipping - our early lesson maths classes and sitting here instead. Besides the absence of many of my graduating school mates, I don't think much else has changed. It's the same place, different girls. I remember, as soon as the last bell for school went, girls from my high school (myself included) would trample all pedestrians in order to crowd this place and savour the longest time until school began again. That was where we sat to rant about nonsensical teenage girl things, that was where we used to peek at the new wait staff (one of them had a thing for my friend Ivy), and where we would sip on a sickly sweet hazelnut mocha to keep our caffeine levels up. My best advice is to avoid the afternoon school rush as it peaks around the 3.15pm mark. I reckon these girls are still awfully protective about this place.

You have to wait for the train. A latte at Macchina is a pleasant way of waiting for the train back home with groceries in tow. The cakes and other delicacies are appetising, and their latte is just bliss. I love their iced chai drinks too. When I first came here last year, a small size was $5 (extremely filling) with a large for only 50 cents extra. However, I walked here one Sunday afternoon from my home, and I was wanting a small iced chai, yet was informed that they only come in "one" size. Slightly disappointed, even though it's only 50 cents of separation. The large was larger than life, yet still delicious.

Seating: Inside seating plenty of tables. Great for groups both small and large. Room for about 50 people. Vibes: Penshurst is a lovely area. It's proximal to the Royal National Park and to the city! The spot itself is a balance of a neighborly area but also surrounded by other businesses. The place is pretty nice. Very artsy with plants and ornaments. The news station is playing in the background if you're into that stuff. Great family-friendly place or casual place to catch up with a friend or get work done. FOOD: Flat White Coffee (Recommend) A signature Australian drink. Espresso, water, and microfoam milk to top it off. It was a simple drink with an excellent earthy quick and a mildly creamy and sweet touch with the foam. Salt and Pepper Squid Salad (Recommend) Another local dish and it was delicious. A good amount of squid was well-battered and crunchy. Pretty salty and not too peppery. The salad and vinegar dressing had a nice touch, and the onions provided a nice kick. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Chris was great! He was a helpful and friendly dude. TL; DR OVERALL: 5 Stars. Awesome! This place brought a pleasant first impression. I enjoyed the wide menu range, the good food, and the reasonable prices. I do hope to come back here again during my stay. The food is reliable and I'm curious to try more items on their food menu.

Busy in the mornings with the commuter crowd, before they hop on to their trains to town, and busy with the local mums. The lunch crowd is busy as well, which shows how much pleasant dining is appreciated in the burbs. Great coffee, with an efficient barista. Today's specialty being a Single Origin filtered Costa Rica La Violeta. The only drawback being a tendency to over flavour the sandwiches, usually appreciated, but always better when done in moderation. Think, the balsamic vinegar applications and the onion jams, both nice but need to be applied with a lighter touch. Otherwise, highly recommended.

They have such interesting items on the menu and with monthly specials that give you a reason to come back for more. On my first visit I tried the Chilli Bacon spaghetti: 2 poached eggs, bacon, kale, dried chilli, cashew croutons & Parmesan Boy you knew when they were cooking your dish. Definitely time to cough up some chilli smell. So I always tend to do this to myself and order a pasta dish thinking they all come with sauce but this was the oil based kinda of spaghetti which was a bit disappointing. It did taste pretty good though but was a monsterous size and topped with 2 runny eggs. Mmmm so good but I was stuffed from it. On the second visit I tried the Green Curry Chicken Burger and the special of the month, Sriracha-Honey Fried chicken, Parmesan waffles, greens & beetroot purée. The Green Curry Chicken Burger tastes exactly as it sounds but was very tasty. The waffles probably weren't parmesany enough for me to notice and while the chicken was nice I couldn't really taste any sriracha which was a bit disappointing. If you live in the area I noticed they have buy 6 coffees get one free which is a pretty sweet deal too. Anyway I can't wait to return back to this place and try out more of their awesome menu!
