    Look at all that salmon!!!
    Lital K.

    Good value for money but not much passion is this place... Staff Attitude leaves little to be desired but they get the job done. Super close to my house so will probably return, or if the weather is nice walk up to the short list in Darlington- nicer folk and they do a regular T/A instead of only large.... Weird how you can only get a large from Guilia's...? Smoked Salmon bagel and the burgers are extremely generous portions though so do feel like its a old mix of good coffee/food just no WOW factor... However they must have bad ventilation because I always walk out smelling like fried bacon.... Mmmmm.. Bacon,,,,

    Easy to walk by, but might be worth checking out.

    Having had a quick glance at map of places I wanted to visit, I picked Cafe Gulia out of the air and wandered over. Walking inside it looked alot like cafes and diners that I frequented in NYC (might have been the somewhat Hipsterish waitstaff...). After ordering my dbl mac I quickly noticed the powerpoints located under most of the tables and so whipped out my laptop and phone charger for a bit of friendly #powerwhoring (massive tick). Unfortunately when the dbl mac arrived (which looked a hell of alot like a piccolo latte...) it was a bit more burnt than I would have liked. Normally this would have been the end of the experience ... but being that I had heard this cafe was known for its food, I had to try something. Seeing they had a burger, and with bacon and egg no less, my decision was made. The burger arrived like a tower of food (with no chips, they are apparently extra), and the egg looked perfectly cooked. With the first bite it started to ooze with warm yolk....YUM!! Finger licking good... Cafe Summary ------------------------ Passion for Coffee - 4/10 Coffee beans - (unsure) Crema (1=burnt, 10=velvet) - 3/10 Special coffees avail? - N/A

    French toast with banana, bacon, mascarpone and maple syrup. Face-melting-ly good.

    Ah, Cafe Giulia, the heart of Chippendale. Things may have changed a lot over the past few years, industrial has turned residential, other cafes have moved in, but this local institution remains as consistently excellent as ever. There's always a brilliant breakfast bagel to be had -- I recommend the haloumi with avocado and mushroom ($10.50-ish), eaten with your hands -- and Sydney perennial, the breakfast roll, finished with house-made tomato relish ($7.90-ish). Those with a sweet tooth should try the Belgian waffles, served with rhubarb, ricotta, and a whole bottle of maple syrup ($16.90), if eaten correctly, manage to toe the line between rounded meal and sweetness overdose. Juices, burgers, big breakfasts and pastas, they're all recommended. I'm yet to have a dud meal. The staff has remained as unchanged as the menu. This seems to have been a problem for other reviewers, but I've never found them to be unpleasant. Brief, yes, but when you're being consistently slammed as they are, it's not hard to understand why.

    Bruised avocado, $4 for a side. Once again, it tastes awful. DON'T serve it up,

    Not off to a good start, lousy customer service. Waiting in line, who decides who is first was dubious. Next, just as I thought it was my turn to order the phone rings, so no "excuse me while I answer this", she just did, there were other people who could have answered the phone, or taken our order. Phone order taken for a large order, still no one serving the order line. Eventually someone else came over and took my order. Coffee arrived, tasteless mug of weak latte. I know I order a weak coffee, but I do expect it to have a coffee taste. At least it was hot as ordered. Most large/mugs of coffee have 2/3 shots, so was expecting at least 1 shot, very doubtful in this case, maybe a shot shared between 2 cups. Partner had the Giulia Eggs with bacon. Toast was bread warmed in a grill, not toast as expected. Should not have to ask for well done toast. He said it was tasty, and edible. Nothing special. I had the Brekky Special, Corn Fritters with poached eggs, hollandaise sauce, bacon and a side of Avocado , which was bruised ( bruised avo is awful), and at $4 for 1/2 an avo I expect a decent one. Corn fritters were stodgy snd tasteless. Hollandaise sauce was tasty, but that was all the flavour in the meal. Both meals were very large servings, quantity instead of quality. I would liked a smaller meal, that had tastier elements. 2 stars, 1 for hot coffee and 1 for the tasty meal my partner had. Won't be back. Wouldn't recommend.

    The special. Mercy.
    Renata S.

    Friendly staff, deLIcious warm banana bread served with butter and the "special" was indeed special to say the least. It was layers of corn fritters, poached egg and bacon. Soooooo good.

    Guilia eggs with bacon

    Ordered "Guilia eggs" with bacon - basically eggs scrambled with haloumi, tomato, onion, mint & parmesan with toast. On positive side, meal was tasty & coffee was ok. Negatives were indifferent service, no table service (which meant till area in this narrow cafe was constantly congested). For the number of staff everything seemed so disorganised. Overall disappointing for a place that's been here for a number of years.

    Great breakfast slider. Ham AND bacon on there. You have pleased me. Awesome coffee and huge menu. Good wifi, basically, I'll probably be back.

    Brekky muffins! $5.50

But the inside as so cute, and more seats than I thought there'd be!! The lady that took our order was so nice too!!! Their chairs aren't that comfy though!! LOL!! But they actually have USB chargers as well, but the lights that are on the end of the bench seating along the wall where the chargers are are weird. It's like being in a library LOL!

Sorry maybe I need to stop comparing, but when you find a good burger and fries stick to it. Too bad no Five Guys in Sydney, they don't know what they missing. I got the Outback Burger which was small and flavorless, my Hubby got the Deluxe Burger it had a big beet on it, I've never seen that before, that was different. He wasn't impressed with his either. We also got Fries(Chips) is what they call them with a Soda. The Burgers are ridiculously overpriced we paid $39 for Burgers that weren't fulfilling. And they surcharge you $1 for using your Credit Card, because they don't accept American Cash, seriously who turns down American Cash?

    Cafe Ish was a damn fine little cafe in Surry Hills, but they closed up shop and have opted to set…read moreup a milkbar instead. A milkbar! Yay! Milk Bar by Cafe Ish is in a once-forgotten, swiftly gentrifying strip of Regent Street, Redfern. At the Milk Bar, there are a few things to note. They bake "absolutely bloody everything" (their terminology, not mine), and it's all absolutely bloody tasty. Seriously good stuff. Tarts! Nut Tart! Jam Tart! Lemon Tart! Best to come here very hungry, and on a sugar low. One of the main benefits of the Milk Bar is it's sooooo cheap! Cheese burgers are $5!!! they're small but tasty fare indeed. The patties are meaty and don't taste processed, and usually served with some well cooked onions and tasty sauce. You can have everything doubled up for $9, and then add other extras - so it's kind of a build-you-own burger situation. Another big deal: they have generously made milkshakes -- weird and wonderful flavours like the choc-coconutty "bounty" or the caramel miso shake, or salted peanut butter and jelly, or Super choc, or Orient express (with green tea ice cream in it). Like I said, come here on a sugar low, and Milk Bar will sort you out. One note: the space itself is pretty awful. They don't seem to have sorted out the exhaust fan situation so it's smoky, smells like hot chip oil, and right now kinda cold. They've only been open 2 weeks so that might be something they get sorted with time. The other option is to sit outside on Regent street, which is sunny but very busy with road traffic. Look, I'm not complaining much, it is so delightful to have such a cheap, amazing quality cafe nearby. The owners are sometimes a bit stressed, but they're very sweet and they mean well. And they can cook. NB: Cash only right now. Oh right - AND THEY HAVE A JUKE BOX!!

They are huge -- I had the bacon, double cheeseburger and skipped the chips because I knew I wouldn't have room for anything else. It's legit. Next time I want to try the milkshakes. If they are anything like the burgers, I would have to guess they are amazing too. Very cute space with lollies at the counter, and jukebox. I shall be back Ish, soon-ish.
