    Basket Brothers is located on the corner of Elizabeth Street and Wentworth Ave. We found this place on google maps because it was near where we were staying. It was delicious, great place to go for breakfast. The Grub. Brothers Benedict ($18). This bene came with English muffins topped with poached eggs, hollandaise sauce, tobiko and a side of broccolini. Crushed Avocado ($17.50). This Sourdough toast was topped a crushed avocado, poached egg, tomatoes, feta cheese and some beetroot hummus. Highly recommend!

    The thing that grabbed me about this place was that they had the type of breakfast on the menu that I have come to really enjoy, namely the one where we have some baked beans (and proper baked beans at that) with some additions thrown in what happens to be a rather hot frying pan. Yep, as I can suggest, this is delicious. Well, this place certainly does draw the crowds, but honestly, I guess there is something about the food, and the service here, that works.

    Came here because it was right next to my hotel and was included in my rooms booking. Came here on a 8am Tuesday and it was moderately full. The staff was attentive and did not leave me hanging by the door. They have a check list on who has breakfast included in their room rate. 1. Smashed avocado - with sourdough, tomato, cumin, lemon, and coriander with a poached egg. I felt mixed eating the avocado. It comes with a huge chunk of avocado but the lemon doesn't mix well with cumin for me. The egg was average and overall, I'd give this dish 6/10. 2. Cappuccino - great without sugar. There's chocolate on top which mixes well with the taste. Cup was small but just the right size. I'm coming back tomorrow to try something else on their menu.

    Smoked brisket

    I have a large appetite and this place hit the spot. My family likes to share their meals. I was able to try the breakfast brisket, french toast with chocolate cherries, and the farmhouse breakfast. All of it tasted great. The location is a little pricey for the amount you receive but the tastes make up for it.

    This quaint breakfast nook is located tucked away by Central Station. It was a Delicious Way to start our morning in Sydney. The coffee, breakfast, and ambiance were all fantastic. The meal items were wonderfully presented and full of flavor. The smoked salmon eggs Benedict, avocado toast, and banana bread were all delicious. Will definitely return!

    Brisket Hash
    Chris C.

    Ordered the Brisket Hash. It wasn't filling, not much brisket, which means it is pricy for what it is ($18.5). It was too sweet and too much carrots. The flat white was just normal, if not subpar. Great environment and atmosphere nonetheless. Bright and lots of sunlight. Probably won't come back. The End

    Brother Burger
    Howard C.

    If you asked me a few years ago or even months, I'd be in full agreement with David Chang about Aussie burgers being terrible...because up until two years ago this was true. Personally I have nothing against beetroot, but a lot of burgers back in the day used terrible beef or beef filling in their burgers. To be honest, when I saw beetroot on this burger, I was expecting just an OK burger...but damn I was impressed. This burger is pretty damn good...definitely one of the better ones I've had lately, and one I would rate above several other known ones in the city. I had a coffee here and it was decent. Service wasn't bad either, but it wasn't busy. I can't say they do anything that makes them stand out in the uber competitive Surry Hills cafe scene...but god damn this burger is pretty good so they have that going for them.

    Red velvet latte
    Michaella M.

    Was so good and so well priced! I can't fully remember the name of the menu item I had but I highly recommend it and will be eating it again! The latte was warm and delicious! It's super sweet and tastes just like red velvet!

    So if this cafe was anywhere else I am sure that it would get at least 4 stars, but sadly it is based in Surry Hills - surrounded by some of the best cafes in Sydney. And so relative to where this cafe is situated I can't give it more than 3 stars. So even though this place serves a decent cup of coffee and some pretty good food - it is not as good as Single Origin, La Monde or Joe Black. So this is a small cafe near the Central Hotel. They serve All Press coffee beans, but make sure you ask for the single origin bean - which changes. Specifically as I am not an All Press fan. Probably the best thing about this cafe is that is not as busy as the other surrounding cafes. I have always found a seat, and am served rather quickly. Also the staff here are quite friendly, which is always a plus.

    Granola
    Leelee H.

    The coffee here is sensational!! and they open at 6:30 which is awesome when you are looking for a great breakfast before work. The food is great too, I had the granola, fruit and yoghurt and hubby had the eggs and both were generous serves. The goes here are friendly and offer great conversation along with your fabulous food.

    smokehouse sandwich with a mocha
    Jocelyn Y.

    a solid lunch spot relatively easy on the traveling student's wallet normal food portions, wasn't skimpy on the order size modern interior, good job on attracting our teenage eyes, basket brothers. loved the floor-to-ceiling windows; perfect for people-watching free wifi; good lighting for studying and for your instagram photos you're welcome smokehouse sandwich? bomb they got some sweet beef brisket in a baguette with a bite to them crispy crunchy pickles included ordered some classic lattes and a mocha, all beautifully pulled mocha was a good balance between bitter and sweet at the longest table also sat a drip coffee that was half chemistry lab ware and half coffee lover's play set you can find free (?) coffee in that flask if you wait a few minutes shoutout to server man pictured in picture

    This place was a God-send as it was close to our hotel and not that expensive. I had the beef brisket on sour dough and grilled cheese sandwich the next. The atmosphere was nice and the food was good. I really appreciated the healthier breakfast options and the service.

Their seasonal specials is definitely worth the look over. I had the peanut butter shake and although it didn't look it, it tasted very much like peanut butter in liquid form. I also got to try the summer breeze watermelon salad. That was refreshing. It had a mix of greens, dressing, feta and a crisp prosciutto. I've never had prosciutto served fried; it was delicious. The whole piece married well, and I wish I knew the background of how it was created. I loved every bite! Although the place was crowded, it can still be intimate. Besides indoor seating, they also have a patio and seating outside.

We came in thinking it was just a coffee shop, but it's essentially a restaurant that also has a focus on coffee. They have a full bar and a window to the outside where you can order just coffee and tea to go. As for the interior it's dimly lit and sort of has romantic date night vibes. We essentially only ordered coffee and one person ordered a cake slice. The lychee cake was pretty good per my aunt. A couple people ordered the Coco Loco, which is basically an espresso martini on steroids with Nutella and something like a Ferrero Rocher. I ordered a latte and their Affogato. The latte was very smooth and BI is arguably one of the best I've ever had. Is the Affogato a cheat code because they use like a tiramisu ice cream? You could argue that case. You can also buy their blends of coffee beans, subject to availability. While the latte was very smooth, I can't say it was mind blowing but it was still pretty good.

My pancakes were stone cold but I will say the aesthetics on it made it edible. The pistachio butter cream was to die for. My steak was ok ; for the price I simply just wanted more. I could be wrong but I doubt it was even 6oz. If you have this place on your radar be sure to make reservations. This goes for almost every restaurant in Sydney. My server was Cassie who was very personable and even gave us tips on what to watch out for dining in Sydney.
