I pretty much just stumbled across this place as I was making my way through the back streets from…read moremy friends house to the shopping centre. Needless to say, as soon as I discovered this place I stopped, jumped out, and grabbed a coffee. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to grab some breakfast, but I did grab what turned out to be an awesome coffee. Yeah, my gut feeling turned out to be correct, this place was awesome, but then again many of the awesome coffee shops happen to be located in the back streets, much like this one.

When I asked for a refund, it took quite a while and only the sandwich was refunded, not the coffees we'd had while waiting. The food in the display cabinet looked fairly average, so perhaps it was just as well we didn't wait any longer. Overall, a disappointing experience and not one I'd return for.

I used to work in the area and couldnt resist going atleast once a week (often more). $10-$12 lunch specials that dont disappoint. The flavour is sensational and you get plenty of top notch meat and veg. Their red curry is my favourite obviously, but I've tried them all and loved them all. Walking into this place, you wouldn't think you were about to indulge in Thai food. Retro wallpaper and furnishings take you by surprise but they definitely don't disappoint. If you haven't been, get down there ASAP. And get the red curry for goodness sake!

A cafe that recognises the value of table service is never underrated. To know that you can sit and…read morewhile away the hours talking to friends without having to keep an eye out for a break in the line to order at the counter is a blessing and an easy way to up sell that "do you want another coffee?" A simple menu of seasonal, organic produce gives you a pick of eggs, muesli and toast for breakfast. And they are serious when they say organic and seasonal because avocados and tomatoes "weren't in season" when we went. But there was still plenty of mushrooms, spinach, sweet potato rosti and beetroot relish to fill up my plate of sourdough rye toast and poached eggs. The coffee is lovely here but unfortunately they don't use Bonsoy. And the Just Brewed green tea on the menu is most heavenly and light green tea I have ever tasted. Prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality of food, table service and size of meals and I'm now planning my next trip back for lunch and an excuse to meet over tea and dessert!

Needless to say it has haunted my dreams since, so today after a hard workout my husband and I biked over for lunch. The first thing that strikes you while approaching from Kitchener Street is the lush, inviting covered wrap around porch; there is plentiful and adequately spaced tables located here (so as not to be forced to overhear unwanted convos). Next, upon entering this clean and tidy cottage you will notice three separate distinct seating areas: the main dining area, a smaller dining area tucked away by the kitchen and pastry counter, and a delightful and welcoming covered deck. We were promptly greeted by one of the friendly staff and seated straight away. Tap water, glasses, and menus were waiting at the table and after an appropriate amount of time our order was taken and special requests confirmed. This place is really busy but it seems well managed; the staff is very attentive without being intrusive. As we waited for our order we noticed the bustling and efficient staff who worked like a well oiled machine - dirty dishes were quickly removed from tables, additional carafes of tap water were dropped off without being asked for, and patrons seemed relaxed, very happy, and satisfied. By meals' end we, too, were among those happy people. My husband ordered a sandwich that I struggle to recall the name ;( it was a hearty sandwich made from perfectly toasted sourdough, grilled chicken breast meat, swiss cheese, garlic aioli, a mix of tender and flavourful greens, and crispy bacon. I ordered the smashed avocado with feta on the same delightfully prepared sourdough. It, too, came with a generous portion of greens. We could not be happier with our newfound neighbourhood brekkie place. AND there is a coffee loyalty card to boot!

So you can imagine the trepidation when I walked into Waffle's Waffle and it smelt of sugar, caramel and all that warming good stuff. But I am happy to report back I finished my half belgium waffle here with ice cream and strawberries minus the cray cray aftermath and sugar overload. It was so refreshing to have a dessert that wasn't smothered in cream, chocolate sauce and syrup but was instead light, fluffy and fresh. For $8 I received a generous serving of vanilla ice cream and fresh, juicy strawberries with enough chocolate sauce to ensure the waffle wasn't too dry or bland. The half serving was perfect for a morning tea sized snack. I'm really disappointed this place doesn't open later for weeknight desserts and that is the only reason for a loss of star. But it is definitely worth trying on a weekend or early Friday night after dinner at Cos or drinks at Udaberri across the road.

After becoming aware of this place through two wise-to-it sources, a fellow (foodie) radio…read morepresenter and my neighbour Mr Wong, I sought out what turned out to be a popular, cheap, and close to home eatery. In a short stretch of nosh shops on Fullarton Road, this small space churns out decent amounts of its specialty, pho. I can't recall the (chef) owners name, but while I'd set myself up at the window counter to slurp my serving of his broth, he sidled up next to me for a chat. Very (food) knowledgeable guy he is, great to talk to about all related matters. He commented on how long I took to finish my dish. I explained I wanted to savour it and my first experience here. I did not however have the heart to tell him I found them both a little bland. While on this occasion my pho lacked flavour, it was very photogenic. And don't get me wrong - I intend to return to sample what others have raved about - the pan-fried crispy pork chops with fried egg and jasmine rice - the hot pot with chicken, Chinese sausage and sliced fungus - and bun (vermicelli salad bowls) - one with sugar cane prawns and fresh rice noodles.

I go to Cibo Espresso at Hyde Park so often I almost think I should have a permanent table there…read more It is simply my number one meeting place. Coffee wise the quality goes up and down but I'm sure this is all down to the range of the different baristas on duty. After all a coffee has more to do with the barista than the bean just like a meal depends on the skill of the chef who is preparing it. For me it's a skinny capp or a long black with a jug of milk on the side. Over the years, I have had business meetings, family gatherings and even dates at Cibo but mostly I go there on my own to get my fix for the day. What did we all do with ourselves before the coffee craze became so big? There must have been a lot of people wandering around aimlessly because these days we just all hang out in coffee shops and cafes. Food wise, they do a mean grilled chicken foccacia and their tuna sandwiches are a good light meal option. When I'm being super good, I'll opt for one of their tuna salads - not cheap but low in cals which is good. I try to stay clear of their deserts but have to admit there's some tempting morsels in their display cupboards. I do however like their gelati - the lemon is a winner! One criticism for the guys at Hyde Park though - what is it with those new tables inside!!! They've been placed so close together that if there's just one or two people at them, you end up sitting within an uncomfortable listening distance of the person next to you OR two people will sit at one of those tables and spread out so they take up four seats. I don't criticise you guys much but these tables are just silly - spread out and use your space. Other than that - I love ya work!

I like Cibo, but I can't give it a four or even five star rating. Look, I know that Cibo is a South…read moreAustralian "thing", but I just don't see why people go so crazy for it. Let me break down my reasoning. Coffee: Like another reviewer said, the quality changes depending on who is making it. Sometimes it's great, sometimes it's far below what I can make at home on my humble Breville machine. I also get frustrated with how looooong it takes to get my coffee and with the lack of flexibility in the menu. For instance, my favourite summer drink is an iced soy latte, which is exactly what it sounds like: a soy latte with ice in it. Without fail, every time I try to order this from Cibo, I end up fighting with the barista about the fact I do not want an iced coffee (with ice cream, etc in it) and about 40% of the time, the barista will not make my drink. So I just go home and make it myself. Food: I am highly suspicious of food that sits around in a glass case all day. I am really not a fan of Cibo's pre-made sandwiches, flatbreads, etc, but I do like their gelati. That stuff is great! Seating/logistics: Again, like someone else mentioned, the seating inside the cafe is poorly planned, and there is simply not enough of it. I can't remember the last time I got a table at Cibo; I generally grab my coffee and take it home. Overall, I still like Cibo and will go there happily for anything that's not an iced coffee (I'm partial to their chai lattes), but I definitely wouldn't rate them as my number one coffee shop, and probably wouldn't frequent them as often as I do if they weren't so close to my place.

When every staff member who serves you looks like they've stepped out of a Gucci catalogue it's hard not to gush, but the table service was impeccable, quick and not too intrusive, even though we were sitting up in the balcony area. My friend and I arrived at 5:30pm to a surprise welcome that it was Aperitivo Hour until 7:30pm every Thursday, Friday and Saturday and our drinks would come with a plate of nibbles. Normally that means, a piece of cheese and an arancini ball but my delightful Sangiovese was delivered with a platter full of salami, proscuitto, bread, cheese, olives and bite sized zucchini frittata which was delicious. We topped that off with a huge platter of charcuterie for 2 (could have served 3) for $18 and a coffee and I was ready to pitch a tent and spend the night up on the cosy balcony in time for a la moka coffee and a brioche for brekky in the morning. Sadly they kicked me out but I will return for Aperitivo Hour and a morning coffee or two many times again.
