In search of a traditional Asian bakery, it appeared that this is essentially the only one in…read moreChinatown, much to our surprise. The other bakeries in the area were more focused on croissants or cakes, so we decided on Emperor's since we wanted some buns! They had exactly the types of pastries we wanted... red bean buns, char sui buns, and the like. Despite being open until 9:00P, they were running low on buns around 5:30P and didn't appear to be refilling their stock, which is understandable. They still had plenty of dim sum in the hot case along with cookies and cakes. We took a tray and piled on nine buns which cost A$40. The woman at the front originally just grabbed a bag to put them all in, but when we asked for a box, she gladly packed them up with care at no extra cost. I tried three different buns. The bread was nice and soft with a bit of a chew, although it was also thick and denser than expected. The filling of each one was just okay and I sadly wasn't wowed by any of them. + BBQ PORK BUN: This contained larger chunks of meat whereas I would have preferred more finely chopped pork. Luckily, it didn't have much fat, but the filling was more salty and savory as opposed to being sweet. + COCKTAIL BUN: This one was filled with a sweet coconut paste, which was somewhat gritty and had an underlying saltiness. After eating the first half, the saltiness became a bit much for me and I couldn't finish the last few bites. + RED BEAN BUN: Rather than a sweet red bean paste, the center had slightly mashed beans with some of them being close to whole. The flavor wasn't bad, just not the sweet red bean paste that we expected. Since there wasn't another bakery nearby with similar buns, we weren't able to compare. Maybe our expectations just differed from what the norm is here, but sadly, we were disappointed with our selection.

Urgent Complaint - Appalling Treatment at Edition Coffee Roasters…read more Dear Edition Coffee Roasters Owner: I am writing to formally report an absolutely appalling experience my family and I had this morning at Edition Coffee Roasters in Sydney--an experience so unprofessional and hostile that it requires your immediate attention. When my husband asked a question about substitutions on the Big Breakfast menu item, your staff member, Lina, responded with curt, dismissive, and outright rude remarks. Rather than engaging respectfully, she continuously shut down his inquiry until he finally pointed out that her manner felt rude. Instead of correcting her approach, Lina escalated the situation to an unacceptable level. When he asked to speak with the manager, she announced she was the manager and then proceeded to take the confrontation outside. There, she lectured us that in Australia she has the right to refuse service, before abruptly refusing service to our entire party of four--despite the fact that we had already ordered and paid. My husband calmly asked if she could simply bring the food as ordered, but Lina became visibly irate, indignant, and combative. Incredibly, she then snatched the receipt from my husband's hand so aggressively that she scratched his finger in the process (photo attached). This behavior crosses the line from unprofessional to physically aggressive. This was not only humiliating and upsetting for our family--it is wholly unacceptable conduct for anyone in hospitality, let alone someone claiming to be management. No paying customer should ever be subjected to disrespect, public confrontation, or physical aggression in a restaurant. Frankly, if such conduct is tolerated at Edition Coffee Roasters, it places your establishment's reputation in serious jeopardy. I strongly urge you to investigate this incident thoroughly and take decisive action to ensure no other customers are treated in such a degrading and hostile manner. We hope you will take this matter seriously and respond with how it will be addressed.

We came in thinking it was just a coffee shop, but it's essentially a restaurant that also has a focus on coffee. They have a full bar and a window to the outside where you can order just coffee and tea to go. As for the interior it's dimly lit and sort of has romantic date night vibes. We essentially only ordered coffee and one person ordered a cake slice. The lychee cake was pretty good per my aunt. A couple people ordered the Coco Loco, which is basically an espresso martini on steroids with Nutella and something like a Ferrero Rocher. I ordered a latte and their Affogato. The latte was very smooth and BI is arguably one of the best I've ever had. Is the Affogato a cheat code because they use like a tiramisu ice cream? You could argue that case. You can also buy their blends of coffee beans, subject to availability. While the latte was very smooth, I can't say it was mind blowing but it was still pretty good.

I also reserve 4 and 5 star reviews for exceptional service with unforgettable dining experiences. The ambience is intimate but also noisy. I will say the coffee here and in Australia in general is some of the best coffee I've ever had. I ordered (2) espresso martinis, pancakes, and the sirloin steak breakfast with a side hashbrown. My pancakes were stone cold but I will say the aesthetics on it made it edible. The pistachio butter cream was to die for. My steak was ok ; for the price I simply just wanted more. I could be wrong but I doubt it was even 6oz. If you have this place on your radar be sure to make reservations. This goes for almost every restaurant in Sydney. My server was Cassie who was very personable and even gave us tips on what to watch out for dining in Sydney.

The ribs were cooked perfectly and whatever sauce or seasoning they used was just fantastic. The staff were definitely busy running around but they didn't make us wait too long to order.

But hurrah I finally found it!! I found the prices to be a little pricier than normal but they did provide very good quality food and you can tell that spent a lot of time putting in the small details when garnishing the plates. Butttt! I had to order the pandan buttermilk pancakes - It seemed like the most popular thing to order on this menu. The pancakes were $16. The pandan pancakes came with a really yummy scoop of coconut icecream topped with fresh berries, pecans and a little bowl of salted coconut sugar syrup. The combination of the fruits and pancakes tasted really good. You can really taste the pandan in it! But just so you know, it does get overly sweet afterwards especially if you're having it as a meal. Next time, I would order it as a dessert sharing between two people to offset the sweetness and order an actual savoury dish to start. Super cute place to go for a small meal, brunch or a good catch up date spot :)
