Their basic croissants are some of the best of the city, and definitely one of the very rare "real French croissants" you can get this far from the super trendy suburbs of Sydney. Their other pastries keep changing and it feels like the variety increases every time I go have a look. Raspberry danishes, almond-chocolate croissants, rhubarb and strawberry foldeovers and much more. They also do sandwiches, quiches and I've seen meat pies too, so even those without a sweet tooth will find something good to eat. And coffee - it's good to finally have another decent brand of coffee in the neighbourhood, and I've always been happy with my lattes.

Having just opened before Christmas it's the new kid on the block at Woodville Road in Villawood. Right across from the epicentre of Bunnings, AMF Bowling, Skirmish, Indoor Rock Climbin, Cross Fit and Real Estate agency, it will be impossible for this place to not become a local favorite! So much familiarity with dishes like the old salmon and capers combo we love, and The Woods Pantry (TWP) is really clever not to rock the boat too much, addin little touches like the dill caper cream cheese topping, pickled onion and lemon preserve. Such minor changes with powerful flavour sensations overall in the dish. Much is the same with the Vanilla French Toast which combines caramel and passionfruit - genuis!!! Adding pistacchios into the mix we maintain the Mediterranean touch that seems to appear throuhout the breakfast, lunch and dinner menus. Again this is done with the old CLT which is jazzed up with lemon marinated grilled chicken breast smothered with a layer of hommus! For me, the definite favorite was the Breakfast Mezze with the many components to play with making every single bite different and better than the next. Your flatbread fillings include eggs, lebanese beef sausages, potato rosti, haloumi, marinated mushroom, labneh, and the fresh crunch and zest from cucumber, olive and tomato. Nice modern fitout with wide open spaces with a view into the busy centre complex, it's great casual hangout space that you'd definitely come back to regularly!

Friendly baristas, smiles as I walked up. You need to walk through the barista station to get to the dining area but it made it pretty intimate. Small dining area but very cool "Indie" type vibe. My coffee was good and the people were cool. The only thing I would like to see would be a bit more signage out front. It was a bit hard to locate but when you need your daily coffee fix, you're gonna do whatever it takes. Lol. The parking garage was packed but that's not the coffee shops fault. I would say check them out if you're in the area for sure.

The food coffee and service is kinda like that too. Ive had big brekkie, shamsuka, few odd teas and coffees and cold drinks here and there. Definitely one of the better cafes in sydney.

Couple of things I didn't enjoy was the coffee. Not sure of the brand but I found it strong but that's my opinion as you may love the coffee. The other is that they advertise an Aussie breakfast but with no bacon. I found a lot of the cafes in Bankstown do not serve bacon.

Glacage is a venue that would be aptly described as a "hidden gem". Minimal signage, and located at…read morethe back of a residential block beside a Thai Restaurant, you'd have to know it was there to visit. It was, and is, a very busy place. Therefore, it has a good name to it in the community and surrounds. We can certainly see why. Everything was absolutely on point. The space is rustic, wooden panelled walls and wooden tables, some with mosaic tiles. Seats are made plush with cushions and the space is decorated with bird cages and bunches upon bunches of flowers. This styling makes it feel homely and comfortable. The space is large, with a few seated spaces, so you could certainly take a group there. Order at the counter, and you can select from the wide menu or something small (and sweet from the glassed display shelf). The menu is superb and we could have ordered so many things - healthy açai bowls, to eggs benny, brekkie boards, French toast or waffles, it's a shame we could only fit three things in our bellies! Glacage has three brekkie boards to choose from: the Glacage, Aussie and Mediterranean. We went for the Mediterranean - a generous service of chorizo, haloumi, mushroom, eggs, olives and more! A healthy brekkie that is certainly possible to share. Sautéed mushrooms on toasted sourdough, with truffled mayonnaise, steamed asparagus, and crunchy poached eggs, topped with micro herbs. The mayo was divine and we really enjoyed the truffle flavour to the dish. We would 100% order this time and time again. We also couldn't go past the strawberry cheesecake waffles for a sweet choice to end the meal. The crunchy waffles were topped with and a granola crumb. A must order for those with a sweet tooth. Coffee by St Ali Coffee Roaster, fresh juices, smoothies and more, you will find a drink to suit your meal. We went for a coffee and chai which were both lovely blends. The staff are extremely knowledgeable, friendly and hospitable, and you will feel very welcome here. Add it to your list of places to visit soon!

Smelly Cheesecake Cafe, I love you so "matcha"!…read more Sydney seems to be having a love affair with matcha as big names such as Café Cre Asion and Chanoma Cafe are topping the lists of must-visit places. Trendy, it is. Healthy, it is also! Matcha is known to be a superfood that is rich in nutrients and antioxidants, improves energy and increases energy levels to name a few benefits. Riding on this wave is The Smelly Cheesecake Cafe with some inspired matcha dishes, namely the matcha cheesecake which was absolutely phenomenal. The top layer of matcha was fluffy, added a pop of pale green color to an otherwise traditionally monochromatic dessert and the flavor was quite subtle but definitely noticeable. The bottom cheesecake was decadent, added a bit of tang and was supremely smooth and creamy. The matcha layer made up about 80% of the dessert while the actual cheesecake layer made up about 20% which may seem like a huge discrepancy but eaten together, it was the perfect concoction as it wasn't too rich, wasn't too sweet and wasn't too tangy. Portion-wise, it was a bit on the smaller side as it left me craving more. Before I talk about the iced matcha latte, I must preface this by saying that I'm a big fan of Starbucks' Green Tea frap. The one I had at the Smelly Cheesecake Cafe was much less sweet and just as creamy and refreshing. I don't have a single bone to pick when it comes to this spot. Plenty of comfortable seating, some pillows, inviting atmosphere and super friendly service! Perfect for a catch up session or even a date.
