A crowd outside the place consisted of many eager to get their hands on delicious foods everybody raves about. We weren't sure where to tell them our names to put us on the list of people waiting for a table, so we ended up in the "to go" line until we grabbed a waitress to do so. There were already people behind us in line that grabbed that waitress ahead of us, which was a little annoying, but the wait wasn't too long. I wish they had a better system for dropping names for people who want to dine in. Anywho, once we were seated, we were able to order fairly quickly, but our drinks were pretty slow to come out- essentially our food came out at the same time as our coffees. The Arabian eggs I had and the big breakfast my husband had were both delicious; no complaints there. The chili peppers in the Arabian eggs were impressively spicy, which ngl is hard to get me to say as a Korean. Staff were nice, but I wish it was a bit more organized in terms of ordering/giving our names. Two different girls asked us for our drink orders, and I saw the girls touch dirty dishes/napkins and clear them in the kitchen and then come and deliver foods and coffee without washing hands... a little upsetting to see. Overall, great food and coffee, but disappointed by staff and organization. I'd come back, but probably not the first place I'd suggest for a weekend brunch.

Housed in what was meant to be a hotel back in the day, this cafe is bustling and I'm told by my local living friend, often lines out the door on weekends. When we arrived there was no wait and we were seated straight away. The staff were friendly and polite. It's a smaller space but they make the most of it with a home-y interior. It's warm, inviting and too easy to spend a lazy afternoon here. There's an all-day breakfast menu with all the usual suspects and some stand outs like the lamb bruschetta. I was lucky enough to sample this from one of our lunch party and would definitely order should I return. On this occasion, I ordered the lamb kofta special with natural yogurt, quinoa and coriander. It was a suitably filling and soul hugging meal of comfort and everything was balanced to perfection. The coffee was strong and easily drinkable. There's a range of gluten free cakes should you not be feeling like lunch and most of the menu items can be made gluten free. The kitchen here may be small but from our experience it's certainly not limiting what they're serving!

Great local cafe that serves really good coffee which you can enjoy in the beautiful leafy courtyard outside or inside by the fireplace. The food's good too, with even a few vegetarian and gluten free options. I stopped by for a coffee the other day and found very friendly service and considered taking up barista-ing as a fitness regime. Poor guy didn't stop for a second the whole time I was there. It's obviously a favourite place for locals, as take-away business was constant. And said locals are obviously lovely, a woman stopped by to say she'd had a coffee there yesterday and then suddenly realised in the middle of the night that she'd walked away accidentally without paying. She handed over her $4 and everybody smiled.

Egg of the universe,what a mixed experience!…read more I've been on a health kick in Rozelle and I wondered what would I eat if I turned vegetarian though this place is more about whole foods I go in and stand at there counter,one lady was more interested with playing with a customers child than to serve me. That lady just walked away. The lady doing the take away drinks did notice my presence and said its table service. I sat down but it took a little time to get served and for the food to come out. But the waiter and the take away lady were friendly Had there blueberry acai which didn't have much taste and cost $10,not for me The spiced kicharis, you can tell they put care into this meal and it's just not slopped together but it didn't really interest me either They do have a lovely court yard at the back which is outdoors,so you don't have to sit in the darken front of the peace With that lady that didn't acknowledge my existence is a big turn off. Also the prices for what you get is another negative. These factors stop me from coming back to try something else While I did find there food better than ungaro raw ,the acai smoothie I had at ungaro raw was a lot more tastier

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!

We got the grilled chicken open melt and we also got 'the sourdough with extra'... Haha extra price... that's the only extra thing it had. The meals were a disappointment, on the grilled chicken open melt, the bread was really soggy and it had avocado on it which made it a bit unpleasant. The chicken on the sandwhich was not freshly grilled, it had dried out, making it feel as if they made it a couple of days before and just kept it in a little container and smacked it on the bread. The salad on the side was fantastic though! I would get it by itself. As for the sourdough with extra, it seemed like it would be an extremely scrumptious choice when looking at the menu. Feta, tomato and avocado on sourdough bread! However unfortunately the excitement of this meal did not follow through, when you first received the meal the first thought that hit me is, 'wow they really cheaped out on this feta!' - there was hardly any on there. The inside was just so soggy from the watered down avocado on the piece of lightly toasted bread, it felt almost too disgusting to keep in my mouth. The crust of the toast was what made this meal edible as well as the side salad (lettuce leaves and pine seeds in a balsamic dressing!) Horrible food definitely not worth the cost.

The quintessential inner west weekend brunch spot. Pig and the Pastry has been a recent discovery…read morefor me and I keep coming back for more. It's a fairly decent sized space with some seating outside, being right next to a public park is good and bad for parking. The service is always friendly and accommodating depending on your group size, probably best to call ahead of time for large groups as its big enough to be a cafe but not large enough to be classified a restaurant in Sydney. All the produce used in the food is fresh and most likely of organic origins (which I'm guessing on the decor and vibe). Simple and clear menu has some classics like a Chicken Schnitzel but done with a humble salad and chipotle that transports your tastebuds. Breakfast has some healthy-ish options but these are taken in consideration with the core component of the meal. Take the Bacon and Egg Roll, it's served as a burger and the barbecue sauce commands the dish. Cakes and pastry is sold as eat-in and take away items (which change every so often), coffee and milkshakes as well. The gingerbread is a favourite of mine - super refreshing for the sinus. At the end of the day, this is a humble little place that 's rustic feel and pastel interiors make it feel homely and the food cements this feeling. A place to return for sure.
