Book this place for a nice Sunday afternoon lunch with some good company. Extremely excited to have a nice meal... that was until the food came out, off putting to say the least. Pink chicken, pizza that looked like they have just grabbed whatever they could find in the pantry and chucked it on there, and a cocktail that looked like a 3 year old's birthday party. Moving on from the food (yes there is more and it does get worse), there was an endless supply of fruit flys attempting to kamikaze into our drinks as well as being pests throughout the whole evening. While being pestered I looked around and noticed flies all across the back wall, absolutely atrocious. Even the wall itself, which was supposedly white, was absolutely hideous covered in black marks and dirt. The worst part is, I still have more to tell you. Listen to this one, car air fresheners in the aircon... just no words. Anyway as our night was coming to a close, paying the bill and rushing to get out. We look up to find an infestation of flies throughout the whole kitchen, and at that point, my belly began to rumble ready for the food they have provided to end up on the eftpos machine. What on earth, will not be going back! read more

Organica service is consistently friendly and hospitable - like hangin out at your bougee aunty's house, and she knows everyone in town. The food is consistently inconsistent, depending who is working that particular shift, but that keeps it exciting - always an enjoyable and satisfying visit. Try the cannoli! Try the steak sandwich! swap the brioche for sourdough! ;) Organica is one of our regular hot spots for a comfortable caffeine hit. Shout out to Tony - your host with the most. read more

I am yet to be wowed by this cafe/restaurant having been here a couple of times since living in the area for both breakfast and lunch. They have a family friendly menu with options for everyone but nothing really jumps out saying EAT ME. I did enjoy my made up breakfast of toast with avo, halumi and hash browns and the portion was large but overall not exciting. The area is HUGE.... there is indoor seating for days and a large amount of outdoor seating - there are several staff on the floor at any one time but the size of the place results in you feeling like a number not a valued customer. The staff seem friendly enough but I have not encountered any characters which make dining more an experience than calories in. note: no free range eggs here :( read more

Espresso Organica - sides of avocado, halumi and hash browns. - Cafes Near Me - Concord, NSW

Coffee: Espresso Organica Passion: 7/10 Crema: 7/10 Man... I had forgotten how massive this place is. While parking around here is a pain, I figured it had been far too long since my last visit. It is always enjoyable to visit a roaster directly, and seeing 4 different batches of beans getting roasted simultaneously behind me is a bit of a thrill. The coffee I went with was a Brazilian Sao Jose and I was a little surprised. Normally when a cafe offers a "special" coffee it is highlighting a light-med roast coffee, but this one could quite easily be used as a house blend. That said, while it is not industrial, it is little disappointing to have the flavours so overwhelmed. Next when I ordered it as a mac, asking for only a little milk as always, it was still quite overpowering (and served with a bit too much milk). As a cafe, looking at the whole package (coffee, food, atmosphere, service), I can heartily recommend that people try it out. As a coffee destination, I don't think they are aiming to move beyond a milk based coffee cafe, and if they are ok with that, so am I. It does mean that'll likely be a while before I come back again.

When I told a friend I was headed to Sydney, she immediately shouted at me, without hesitation, to "GET THE ICED CHAI!!" Perplexing, since Sydney calls to mind kangaroos and the opera house, not their ... chai. Turns out my friend was talking about this place - Espresso Organica - and while they're apparently famous for their coffee (I had a sip and yes, it was great!), their iced chai is indeed, pretty awesome. It's milkier (and therefore milder, less spicy) than most versions that I've found in the states - but since I'm a fan of milkshakes and milk tea and all that, this iced chai was right up my alley. Super delicious - enough that I wanted a refill immediately! So why only three stars? Based on the iced chai alone, the place would've gotten 4 in my book ... but the food and the service were both rather mediocre. I got a pasta (pesto - special of the day), and it was not only too heavy and saucy, but also somehow tasted a bit bland. Others in my party ordered various other things (burgers, salads, etc.) that they weren't too impressed by, either. Bottom line: come for the espresso drinks, but skip the food (apparently you can get amazing chicken burgers next door)! read more

Prepare to pay more for your meal than it's worth and wait longer than you need to. They grow their own tea leaves! At least, that's what it feels like while you're waiting for your tea. Server was friendly and prompt in taking our order. Although, when it comes to menu changes...you had better tread lightly. They don't do half servings for kids - so don't ask! The food was so so. But if you have a look at the menu, you'll see they care very deeply for their breakfast dishes. So much so that $20 will get you a plate of mushrooms. The coffee was okay I guess. I didn't really notice anything about it to ever make me recommend this place for its coffee. All in all - I would take it down the road. The value for money just isn't there. At least for breakfast anyway. read more

After a 7.5k walk, this place is the real deal to take a long lunch break. Atmosphere is very busy, but the place is so spacious making it very welcoming. Food wise, there are mouth watering desserts on display. I ordered the Greek Octopus dish with tomato paste base. Delicious! all in all - this place is worth to try if you're going for a family lunch/ catch up with friends. Only 1 minus point - for a place this big, I think you need more washrooms available. read more

Everything about this place is wrong. Service is slow and incompetent and staff have no personality or brains. Our table ordered three juices. Not one of them was correct. My partner ordered their equivalent of a 'big breakfast', minus the sausage and extra mushrooms. His meal came with extra mushroom and sausage. The bill came with an extra charge of $20 for this change. When he questioned it, the staff told him that they don't change meals and therefore had to pay the extra charge. He should have been made aware of this at the time of ordering. $40 for a breakfast that he didn't want. What a joke. Clear to say that we won't be back. read more

Had forgotten this little gem. So when a peep mentioned it for a coffee catch up I was pleased to trawl the streets for a parking space. Only a couple, well 4, laps of the surrounds and I scored a good parking spot. My friend was free for just coffee but I'd missed breakfast & had a snack for lunch, so happy to peruse the extensive menu. I chose the lamb shanks, caus I've sort of got a reputation for always trying the shanks, and a glass of a Greek red. Black sheep . . . . .seemed to fit the bill! Staff were friendly and the meal came quite quickly. The lamb just oozed off the bones, and the red sauce was delicious. I'm not a great fan of mash so most went back to the kitchen when my plate was cleared. I'm seated next to one of four coffee grinders. Means I'm also beside big open bins of coffee beans. Yes, I will definitely need to order a coffee after all my senses have been attacked by it through my meal & my review. A peep joined me as the afternoon went on. We had coffee and sweetness. My friend chose a piece of fruit cake with cream, and I opted for an apple cinnamon waffle with ice cream. (Hey, don't judge, lol, that part was my dinner!) read more

I lunched at Espresso Organica recently, having only ever brunched here before, and I loved the lunch, just as I love their brunch! I had a chicken burger which came with 4 or 5 chicken tenderloins on a Turkish roll, avocado, lettuce, yummy aioli and the most delicious chips. It was under $20 which I thought was a bargain! The chips were soooo good! My friend had the Greek wrap which was packed full of lamb & she thoroughly enjoyed it! I love their coffee, it's so creamy & delicious. For brunch I've had the bacon & egg burger, which was well worth the money, and hubby had a big breakfast which he loved too. Definitely a great cafe & yummy food at wonderful prices (especially for Sydney). The service though does leave you lacking. read more

Espresso Organica - Chicken burger (after I deconstructed it to share with the kids!) So delicious! - Cafes Near Me - Concord, NSW

This place could be like so many others, looking great and not delivering. The food is tasty and I haven't managed to make it to anything sweet as their serves are so big. Service was good and friendly. The coffee was all that it promised, full of flavour and well made. read more

Its a lovely placed tucked on Majors Bay Road in Concord. The issues... the outdoor seating - disaster. They cramped all these seats outdoors to the point that not even the waiters can get in to serve you. Its shocking. Coffee, they pride themselves on good coffee, as a coffee lover - would not waste my time. Now the positives, the food is actually pretty good. I would recommend the pork belly, the chicken burger and the chicken tenderloins. They are actually really good. In terms of food it is probably one of the better options in Concord. read more

The place has plenty of seats and a nice ambience.. Getting there on a Saturday was no issue.. Plenty of parking... We got there ordered a coffee and that came out straight away...we then had a look at the menus! There were 3 menus and another menu for dessert!!too much choice! The food was great.. I highly recommend this place however We had to wait one hour for the food.. It was busy I suppose.. Glad I had good company otherwise I would've hated waiting :P read more

We'd visited & had many meals along the Majors Bay strip. To date, the service, quality of food & pricing was all quite good. So we decided to try Espresso out. It was a Saturday morning & to be fair, the place was quite busy. On arrival we were requested (quite coldly) to stand to the side where others had already been corralled. This was to set the foundations for the rest of the dining experience. After waiting a reasonable period (without any advice as to how long the wait may have been), we were seated. The table was still dirty from the previous patrons. We were provided menus & then left there for quite a while. Trying to make eye contact with any member of Staff became quite a challenge. Finally, I stood up, went to the Service area & requested a cloth (& cleaning agent) to clean our table. At this point the Lady behind the register (Sophia I heard someone call her) assigned someone to attend to our needs. We proceeded to place our orders. Nothing too difficult, or so we thought. Our hot drinks came out well before our meals, when we'd specifically requested we'd appreciate everything arriving together. Then, one of the meals was not was requested & again attempting to find someone to help was near on impossible. Again, we were required to visit the Service area to raise our concerns. Whilst the food & coffee were of an acceptable standard, the service is an area were improvement would be well advised, given the industry. At times we couldn't help but think (& chuckle privately) that it resembled scenes from "Fawlty Towers'. A great shame really as our expectations were quite high. However, the market in this precinct is quite competitive & we've found other establishments near by offering not only the quality products (food & beverages) but also the quality service. read more

For a feast from breakfast, lunch, dinner & everything in between, you are at the right place. A blend of Greek & Italian, there are lots of dishes to please everyone. Delicious looking cakes or Greek cookies to accompany a good coffee or decadent hot chocolate, or a healthy omelette with a selection of toppings. Lunch can be from steak sandwich to a tasty burger with fries or pasta and pizza. Pizzas are also on the menu for dinner as are more substantial mains like a sticky honey ginger pork or tender lamb shanks or a tasty chicken caesar salad. Whatever you choose, you will not be hungry as portions are generous. Its a big restaurant/cafe but does get busy. Great for kids or a gathering as there are so many good options to please everyone. read more

Another delicious breakfast here and service as always came with a smile. I ordered the Halloumi BLT which is always a winner. They definitely don't skimp on the halloumi like most other places do, and there was also layers of delicious perfectly cooked bacon between two slices of well cooked Turkish bread. And it was accompanied with an awesome Soy Chai Latte. Always a great place to go back to time and time again. read more

It's a hit and miss some days. The food is great, but not amazing for the price. The coffee is good when the correct barista is on.

Well and truly one of my favourite coffee houses in the western suburbs. A delicious assortment of pastries and breakfast items allows you to indulge your sweet tooth while taking in the casual vibe of Concord. Staff are always friendly and attentive and the atmosphere, warm and cozy. Highly recommended. read more

Visited this morning (Sunday morning) with the intent to have brekky. My husband and I rocked up around 0830 and the venue was not overly busy, plenty of seats available. We waited at the 'wait to be seated sign' for a good 5 minutes before we we're asked whether we wanted a seat. We were directed to a table. Happy days. But then we sat. And sat. And sat some more. No menus, no water, no waiter to be seen. After 10 minutes I went up and got some menus myself to look at. Even with menus now visible on the table, and a waiter who had directed us to a table, we were shocked that no one had attended to take our order after 30minutes. Fed up, we left. My advice, do not come here expecting service or a timely feed. And definitely don't try your Sunday breakfast here. If you do, good luck :) I do not recommend this place, plenty of others around (ie espresso 96!!!!!) read more

Great location in the inner west with a great vibe about it. The food itself is good but a little over priced for what you get. What lets these guys down the most is their very slow service and a largely amateur staff. I come back for the food and experience occasionally but it's clear the owners are more interested in profit rather than providing exceptional value and service. This could be the difference between them thriving vs what appears to be just busy enough to keep them going. read more

I enjoyed the coffee, it was smooth and well presently, the service was attentive and the prices reasonable although it definitely lacked something cutting edge to differentiate it from the rest of the cafes on Majors bay road read more

One of the most overrated and disgusting cafés in Sydney. The service was deplorable, utterly slow and devoid of character. They kitchen closes half an hour before the allocated time, most of the food is finished before then as well. Unprofessional and unacceptable. The coffee is barely acceptable at best, and vomit inducing at worst. Stale tasting, boring, rubbish. A terrible experience, wouldn't ever come back, and that's not even talking about any of the terrible, stale, preheated food. Nothing is really organic nor fulfilling. Would give a lower score if possible. read more

We have walked out of here on many occasions. I think there is new owners which might make a difference. Service is slow, at times non existant. Seems very popular - why I am yet to work out read more

new owners again. locals say its the same guys who also own a spot in the same street called TOCO Business was doing so well they bought this one and unfortunately - have already made a negative impact. The original Organica founder was a coffee enthusiast and it not only showed in the decor but the coffee was always absolutely beautiful. The new owners have changed the beans to a much cheaper and tasteless option and increased the price per cup..........as does anyone more concerned with profit than culture. coffee aside, food portions have also been reduce dramatically. staff dont look happy and if the local community is anything to go by, there is a collective feeling of disappointment. it was once a must stop ..now... id say head over the chiswick or abbortsford as their are some great coffee options opened in those close by suburbs ! read more
