Ordered the Baked Eggs and Spiced Chicken Breast, with poached egg on the side, for brunch. Couldn't find any flaws, loved both dishes - flavours were amazing and unique. Service was extremely friendly and professional. Quirky atmosphere, if you could get a sight of the small kitchen/s, you will appreciate the fantastic meals they're bringing out from such a tight space. Prices were average to high for cafe. We will definitely return when we're in Parramatta next time! Yum! read more

Circa Espresso - Baked Eggs, $19.00 - Restaurants Near Me - Parramatta, NSW

This place can't be that good, right?... Wrong, they are the only thing to top the vibe and the food was how friendly the staff was. We felt absolutely comfortable and we're not even hipsters. *disclaimer - I do have a cool beard. read more

Great food, great service! We had a seat in the back, and although we were a little closer to other customers than I would like, we had a great meal and enjoyed our time. Will definitely be back to try the other options on the menu! read more

Circa Espresso - Top: Ottoman Eggs. Bottom: Baked Eggs. - Restaurants Near Me - Parramatta, NSW

I really reserve 5 stars for a 5 star experience and Circa has easily achieved that in both food and service. The service is great, the food is good and the coffee was decent. Even the babycino was well presented. Parking structure right next door, it's definitely one to try. read more

You know, I found this place by checking out Yelp on my way to meet a friend, and now, having been there I'm almost tempted to say it was horrible just to keep it exactly the same, but something this great has to be shared. Great friendly vibe, with even better coffee! The place is narrow, so narrow that I nearly walked right past it...but the coffee, service and prices make up for it super fast. I wish I had been hungry, but I'll find a reason to return. For those of you who work in the area, make this your morning coffee, I would. read more

First time here. Nice coffee. Very busy on weekends but good food and vibe. We had a small table outside. Didn't have to wait long. Nice little gem in Parra. read more

Overall: Great coffee, great staff, great vibe Price: Excellent value, with most meals under the $10 mark Taste: Best coffee in Parramatta. The food is fresh, simple and tasty Decor: A cool, relaxed vibe. A little bit (dare I say..) inner city mixed with Melbourne read more

Quirky decor, friendly staff and excellent coffee and food set to a soundtrack of summery hip-hop - Circa is a delightful little oasis tucked away behind Parramatta station. As others have mentioned, it's not ideal for big groups, but if you time your visit you can probably snag a table for four. The baked eggs with sujuk and honey soaked leaf chai are a definite hit with me! read more

I went there for lunch today and asked for one of the meals to that came with poached eggs on the side to come without the eggs (no substitution, no discount, just no eggs on the side). A waiter came back and told me that the cook 'doesn't want to make it that way' and gave me another menu. Interestingly enough the menu states at the bottom 'if you have any dietary requirements or allergies please let us know' (for what it was just flatly refused). I do agree that the customer is not always right however as a customer I have the right to vote with my wallet and decided that I didn't wish to spend my money in a cafe where the cook believe's his ego is large enough to judge my dietary requirements. There are enough excellent eateries in Sydney to not have to deal with that. read more

A unique little spot that could fit right into a back street in the inner west or surrey hills but thrives instead in a side street in Parramatta! The Ottoman eggs were fantastic and I will be back to try the plethora of other options which caught my eye. read more

Parramatta's best kept secret. You should be on your way after reading this review. Homecooked breakfast and passion injected coffees at its best! Don't bring a large group, tight squeezed eatery in a garage. I recommend portabello mushroom and the affogato! read more

This is a regular go-to for me. As well as serving top notch food and coffee, this place epitomises Parramatta's energy, resourcefulness and innovation. Circa has taken what's good about a small foodie café and made it even better with its own flair and passion. What's more, it's such a friendly and down-to-earth place, even the patrons! Effortlessly cool because it pays attention to the details but doesn't get lost in minutiae, which is but one of the many practical reasons why it is such a firm and fond favourite of locals and CBD workers alike. read more

Cool atmosphere and ambience, food is well presented and tastes good! Good coffee as well :)

Nice food, good coffee. Feels like a cutout from Newtown pasted into Parramatta! My only beef: Too bloody expensive! $4 for a smaller than small cappuccino? I mean seriously. And it's hit and miss too. read more

Such grand brunch items and delicious coffee and tea - they roast the beans or blend the tea leaves themselves, and it shows. Anything with lamb or pork belly is a good start as they're cooked well. Decent sized portions. It's a tight squeeze though, and the shop is rather small, but they're a blessing for the Western community. Staff are mighty helpful and cheerful, which simply makes an already competent cafe all the more charming and pleasurable to visit. read more

My new fav place. Excellent coffee, delicious food (recommend the baked eggs) great people and service. Highly recommended!

This is my reliable "local" for brunch! Don't let the insanely long queues on Saturday mornings put you off; it's definitely worth the wait. The place oozes charm in its terrace location as if a little piece of Surry Hills was boxed up & placed in Parramatta. The food during weekend brunch is, for the most part, outstanding. Highly recommend the cured ocean trout or the pork belly if you're a protein kind of person, otherwise, the ottoman egg is a stellar dish as well. The coffee is great, not as finessed as its food, but reliable and consistent with a good roaster & blend. That said, it's not completely perfect, food quality & service does take a hit on weekdays; it's still good but nowhere near as outstanding as during the weekend. So put on your good standing shoes on and come on the weekend, it's worth the wait, and this little cafe does set the bar for discerning cafe locations in Parramatta! read more

This place was amazing and I will come back here as often as a I can. The service was great they help us with the menu and explained our dishes. They have the best coffee in the area. read more

Embarrassed by rude staff! Turned away for having a already pre bought coffee from work after 12hr night shift!!

Best French Toast I have ever had. Everything we ordered was amazing. Going back again for sure.

Glad I found this place as I am not from the area. It's like a little slice of Inner West out in Parramatta. First off the décor is cool and eclectic without being over the top or trying too hard. Although it is very narrow, the café just has a warmth about it that makes you feel very cosy. It reminds me of some of the cafés from Melbourne's Degraves lane. Coffee, house roasted and single origin, is of a high standard as is the food which has elements of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine infused with Australian café classics. Overall I really like this place and would make the trip again. read more

A really nice cafe. Yummy and creative food + friendly staff. Coffee was above standard.

Great coffee. Parramatta has a few good coffee places. This is the best of the lot. Haven't had their food so can't comment but the coffee is certainly up there. read more

I walked past Circa two times before realising that the garage roller door was actually its entry. I walked into the narrow space, and was impressed by the quaint decor, quite reminiscent of a cafe you'd find in the Inner West. As a tea drinker, I appreciated the attention paid to the drinks menu and was particularly delighted to find properly brewed Chai on the menu! (as opposed to the packet mix you find in most places) In terms of food, baked eggs appeared to be their speciality - and we weren't disappointed! The staff members were friendly and attentive, but tried a bit too hard, as they attempted to memorize long and complicated orders without writing anything down. On both occasions I've been there, they have had to return to confirm the order. Not really a major annoyance, but it would be fine with me if they just wrote the order down correctly straight away! But with such nice food and drinks, I'll still be back anyway! read more

I love that hipster Melbourne made its way not only to Sydney, but to the back of Parramatta train station. I've been here a few times for breakfast and lunch and it doesn't disappoint. Excellent menu, unusual and interesting choices and the food is fresh and tasty. If you're looking for a good lunch in Parra, the chicken salad has got to be one of the best in Sydney - walnuts and celery in a tasty aioli with crunchy pita crisps and poached chicken - like oh my what. They used to have this amazing beef sandwich on the menu with fried onions in it. The sandwiches are like something out of a place that is not Sydney ( ie Generous with fillings and delicious). The staff are generally good too. The only reason I'm not going 5 stars is the location (there's no aspect) and the wait time on the weekends. But good things do come, and watching the barrister weigh out every serve of coffee he made for an hour was pretty darn impressive. Okay there's five stars. read more

This is the best coffee I've ever tasted. I got a strong latte, it was excellent. I decided to return after a meeting about an hour later, and ordered the same thing. If anything it was better. It was just unbelievably good coffee. Literally, I couldn't believe how good it was. Both drinks I sat there expecting the next sip to not actually taste that good, but each sip was brilliant. I am forever spoiled. If I could endeavor to pull a shot that good, I would be entirely satisfied. Lo, I have not been able to do that and so my souls still longs for that taste again! read more

OTTOMAN EGGS .. Enough said !!!! Go ASAP. Everything on there menu is superb and you will not be disappointed with anything you order. Angelina is manager lady is so wonderful and she's super friendly so say hello to her. They are open 7 days a week so clear your diary and schedule it in. read more

I read that this received a best cafe award so I thought I'd try it out. The cafe is at the back of Parramatta station - it looks like it is in a long thin garage and is decorated in the urban industrial look with splashes of graffiti and walls covered in comic book pages and other quirky items. Most tables are for 2 people so never bring a group here - I think the biggest table was for four. The menu for food is small but the menu for coffee and tea is much bigger. When I visited I went with my mum and sister . my sister ordered the Chai latte and a banana bread with passionfruit butter . She raved about the Chai and was happy that it was more traditional and not too sweet. It arrived in a small metal pot with a sweet turkish glass to drink from - it looked and tasted beautiful. The banana bread was nice - just like any other cafe has but was improved by having passionfruit butter with it. The butter was served on top of the bread - it would have been nicer on the side I ordered the sourdough with smashed peas, avocado and ricotta with zucchini, asparagus and roasted tomatoes I think this was $14 ? when it came out it looked a bit small. one piece of bread with a lump of smashed peas/ avocados/ricotta on one end and on the other 4 roasted cherry tomatoes . the zucchini and asparagus were shaved with a lemon dressing. This meal was nice and fresh and was plenty to eat and worth the money. The hot chocolate was not hot enough which was disappointing but had a great flavour . My mother had the hot chocolate and the banana bread and when asked about her lunch she said - it was nice . She is not a foodie and did not appreciate the decor as much as hipsters would. They also have another cafe on the other side of the station serving almost exactly the same menu- I think it might be called hungry Mondays and it is small and decorated in a similar way. The food was fresh and tasted good and the service was good. I would recommend a visit if you are in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get there. read more

Won best cafe for a reason. Very good with everything they do. friendly service, amazing coffee and food. Will come definitely come back.

A very cool hangout. We recently got to know the staff - all very friendly and all passionate about coffee. And they always remember us. The food is very tasty and they have great vegetarian choices. A true refuge. read more

Wow, wow, wow, small dark and interesting, some of the best independent coffee around. The menu is just cafe culture at its finest! You don't find much better read more

Reliable great food and coffee all the time! Definitely the best in Parra at the moment!

I can't believe they have been here for 2 years! Definitely the best coffee in Parramatta. The food was delicious. The staff were friendly and excellent service. The decor reminds me of something you would find in the inner west. Definitely coming back again, read more
