It's sturdy, uncomplicated food, available fresh or frozen, with a delicious looking range of cakes and slices to boot. So what lets them down? I simply can't go past the Saturday lunch for which we were all craving sausage rolls ... the delicious, juicy, meaty ones with crisp flaky pastry. There were none on display, but they assured us they had some and packed them into a bag for us to take home. But it was all wrong! A sausage - yep, a whole skin-covered Frankfurter-like sausage - sticking out the ends of a blanket of flat uninteresting shortcrust. A huge disappointment - one that I am probably taking an irrationally long time to get over. I may venture back, but in a suburb that is back-to-back deli and prepared food options, it's 'rolled' down my list. So sad.

I do rate their $4.50 chicken and beef takeaway pies for fantastic taste and value They also do a wonderful honey baked ham. However its true there is a saturation of delicatessens and providores within this area that would make the 5 star rating easily and most of them have seating.

This is one of the best, if not the best cafes/catering, places I've been to in Sydney. The cuisine…read moreis modern British, so if your familiar with the English-Welsh food scene in London, Core is most definitely the place you want to come to REGULARLY. The Toasted sandwiches are the best your going to eat in the City, and breakfast burgers are awesome. The Brownies are amazingly good and so are the Pies, Sausage Rolls, and Pasties - the best in Sydney hands down. It will beat anything you've ever eaten - and the quiches are to die for. Stewart the owner-chef is amazing with his ability to create and define flavour, and a true genius in maintaining old school cuisine defined by British Australian culture. I haven't seen this in Australia in a long long time. A real delight you have to try. Oh and the staff and marionette Coffees are great too. A real testament to the place. I recommend it highly.

The counter boasts a delicious range of top quality meats, which can be hand-cut to order - from one slice to the whole leg. The choice is fabulous: honey roast hams, peppered salamis, chorizo and pates. Aside from the glorious array of meats, Michael's Charcuteries displays gorgeous pots of olives, sundried tomatoes, artichoke hearts and all other manner of products perfect for a mezze platter. This café also makes a wonderful destination for a vibrant and healthy lunch - bowls line the counter, brimming with sweet potato, spinach and feta salad, pasta concoctions and multiple leafy dishes. I would recommend getting here early to ensure that the best has not already been gobbled and to make sure you can grab a table near the window - essential for the people-watching that Double Bay caters so well for.

I got the chicken salad sandwich on turkish bread for $11 - a steal in Double Bay. So worth it, great portions. Chicken salad sandwich came with pesto mayo that was done heavenly and not too greasy feeling. The salads on display were gorgeous and can make you feel like your eyes are bigger than your stomach. Lots of options for healthy eating here at very reasonable prices. Not the coolest spot to eat in but walk down a couple of blocks to Steyne Park or Double Bay Wharf and it's the perfect setting for such a yummy, nutritious meal. Takeaway prices are about $1.50 - $1 cheaper than dining in.

Oh, and the staff are pretty cool as well.

I went for a cheeky pub lunch today. I was impressed with the selection of condiments at the kitchen counter - so many mustards in ceramic jars. The staff at the bar were friendly but the kitchen weren't in too much of a hurry to feed me. When our burgers came out, they were very pretty: shiny brioche bun, pickle on top, but after the first bite I knew they weren't going to live up to their looks. The patty was a little dry and pretty flavourless (?underseasoned). The chips had good crunch but again lacked flavour. We sat out in the beer garden which is more a box to keep smokers in than anything else. I will probably be back, but won't be wasting my time with the burgers again.
