Once a hole in the wall strictly serving coffee and a few sweets, Ristretto & Co. has evolved into…read morea café hotspot for locals in Sydney's South-West on Northumberland Street Liverpool. A small walkway through the cafe's busy kitchen takes you out to a quaint, rustic style courtyard to sit, relax and enjoy a coffee & brunch with friends to escape the busyness of the world outside. Ristretto & Co. is a local favourite, renowned for its seamless Campos coffee and menu offering a wide all day breakfast menu. We chose a couple of favourites and were recommended to try the waffles - every instagrammers dream! We enjoyed corn and zucchini fritters with aioli, avocado salsa and a poached egg, which had a lovely crunch, yet were still light and fluffy on the inside. The serving was very generous so despite being full, was hard to resist finishing. We also had the smashed avo (with a side of bacon) just to lighten things up which was nice and fresh with the hint of lemon. To satisfy our sweet tooth, we tried some waffles served with vanilla gelato, shredded coconut, salted caramel sauce, fresh berries, maple syrup & Persian pashmak! The presentation of this dish was beautiful with the popping colours of the berries atop the glistening maple syrup and the delicate pashmak on the top. It was hard to pull this one apart! Although this was very sweet, the flavours and textures worked well together and left us very satisfied. We thoroughly recommend visiting Ristretto for an amazing breakfast/brunch.

The park has a range of beach chairs, milk creates with wooden tops for tables, stools and actual…read moretables with chairs littered around. They serve campus coffee, tea, cold drinks and sweets. From cronuts to tarts, toast to avo mash... I've only tried the coffee as I waited for my specialist appointment across the road for my broken foot (thanks New York!). Great little spot, I especially love the chairs in the sunshine and the beach chairs. Great use of the area and the staff are lovely. They take cards and cash which made me happy since I barely carry cash anymore. If you're in the area so by and check it out. I can't believe this park doesn't get more use! I'd be camped out here every weekend if I lived in the area for breakfast coffee and avo mash! Nooooom!

Situated right next to the Liverpool Library, the Black Rose Cafe is a cute little place for if you…read moreneed a caffeine hit. Their coffee is fairly strong (left my hands all jittery one night), and if you have a bit (read: a lot) of a sweet tooth, I recommend the Caramel Latte, or the White Hot Chocolate. Black Rose also does fantastic, thin, crispy pizzas and delicious wedges, if you're feeling particularly peckish. The staff is friendly, and their eyes fairly light up if you ask for an alcoholic beverage, almost as if they're just waiting for you to get drunk and rowdy so that they can have an exciting night. The cafe is usually very quiet during the day, seeing as it's somewhat nondescript and doesn't appear to get much traffic, but that in no way lessens the quality of their fare. At night, though, it gets a little busier, and you won't have to worry about the cold on a winter night, because they have a nice big toasty heater in the middle of the outdoor seating area. Drop by and make their night with some drunken behaviour!

Visited for a 21st party. This Italian restaurant has an amazing Chef. The antipasto was…read moredelicious and fresh. A very picky diner might frown at the bread rolls being room temperature rather than warm. The lack of traditional dipping oil was also a minor oversight. However, these transgressions were forgotten when the Calamari was served. Seasoned to perfection and you could taste the freshness in the soft rings without a hint of chewiness or strings. This dish told the entire table the Chef was an artist and we eagerly awaited the main courses. I tried the wrapped chicken with capsicum sauce. A fairly plain dish, but perfectly cooked. Tasty and nicely seasoned. However, the short rib was in another class. Perfectly cooked medium rare, with a thin crusty skin. The meat fell off the bone and melted in the mouth. This was the Chef fully meeting the expectations set up with the calamari antipasto. The exceptional short rib exposed a problem with the 'alternative seat' catering methodology. While I didn't hear anyone complain, I did feel those with the chicken missed out. Both mains need to be evenly matched up and I do wonder if a seafood dish might have been a better choice. But maybe I'm just being pedantic. There was nothing but happy diners in our party, so any quibbles I mention are largely irrelevant. The service staff were busy and attentive. The wine and beer flowed freely and we never felt neglected. The settings were functional and attractive. A large screen TV scrolled through photos of the birthday girl and family. A table was supplied for the cake and our party of 45 mixed and chatted between 3 tables with plenty of room. Warmed up bread, dipping oil and my quibble about main selection (more likely a customer choice rather than the venue) are the only visible weaknesses I could find in an otherwise perfect catering experience. The Black Rose Cafe knows how to nail a fantastic party. If you enjoy an Italian experience and want first class food, I can thoroughly recommend this cafe. It's a jewel.

The Açaí bowl was refreshing, packed with berries and assorted fruits, crunch of muesli and well balanced flavours, so moorish got me scooping for more. The smashed avo on sourdough with salmon and poached eggs tasted as good as it looks, a great savoury option. Chuffed to have a top notch cafe at my local. Only improvement would be to be more customer centric and attentive.

The shop specializes in power foods and health fare so you won't be able to find pastries and croissants here. Instead you will have the opportunity to try some lovely healthy offerings like Acai and power bowls and healthy juices and smoothies. They also carry a really great avocado toast which seemed a little pricey but is quite generous being two slices and comes on sourdough toast with cashew butter. I ordered a mocha as I didn't have time for a sit down meal but plan to come out and try this place again soon. My drink was perfect with the right mix of coffee and chocolate, served warm enough to help me make the ten minute trek to my office on a colder than usual winter Australian morning. When it's a little warmer out I plan to try one of their smoothies. They come in two sizes and a variety of flavor combinations.
