Great experience at Henry Lee's from the moment i walked up. The hosted greeted us with a smile and gave me options on the location i would like to sit. It's all outdoor seating and some are coveted and others have patio umbrellas if need. The food tastes so fresh but i do think some could have used a little more seasoning. The Prince of Brighton was so good and the presentation was perfect. The crab meat should have been drained a little more (in my opinion) and the avocado could have used some salt,pepper and lemon juice in the mix. The Spicy Udon was pretty good. The chicken was fried perfectly and the noodles were good. I did order extra XO sauce on the dish. Overall i would visit again!!! read more

Tried to find a fun place for my wife's birthday. Henry lee's wasn't amazing or terrible. My wife's mushroom / egg croissant dish was just ok. the croissant was stale and she didn't enjoy the dish all that much. my plate was felt like a random mix of things like a couple of eggs, 1/4 of an unpeeled avocado, a curry flavored croquet, and a very sweet tomato chutney, etc. service was just mediocre. the coffee was good though. we won't return read more

Horrible service, it felt like they were doing us a favour by serving us. Food was OK, too complicated, tastes were muddled. There are so many good food places, consumers these days don't need to put up with bad and rude service. Never going back. read more

Honestly, I really didn't like this place. Okay, it was crowded, but that tends to be the case with a lot of coffee shops in the inner city. However, the tea that I ordered ended up being really strong, which sort of puts me off somewhat, and also the sugar that they had wasn't really the type of sugar that I particularly liked. Yeah, I think I'll pass on this one next time. read more

Love this place! Food is always sooo delicious and beautiful. It's an enjoyable and relaxing. There is plenty of light when you go inside because it's an open area, but if it's raining or cold you will be sheltered and warm from the heating. The staff is polite and friendly. Been there many times and always a great experience. Look at how pretty the lattes are read more

We traveled to Sydney to see our daughter & son in law and the very first place that they wanted to take us to was Henry Lee's. We own multiple restaurants in Bristol, Connecticut USA and we take food & hospitality very seriously. Henry Lee's was without a doubt a 10+ out of 10 stars type of eatery...not only was the cuisine amazing, but their staff / level of service was on point as well They offer a very eclectic menu that includes some of the most diverse / mixtures of ingredients that work really, really well together as well as, an incredible beverage selection including freshly squeezed orange juice, pressed coffees and teas. Wether you're visiting Sydney for the day or for longer...make your way over to Henry Lee's and treat yourself to an amazing open air experience !! read more

Favorite spot for breakfast/lunch in Sydney. The atmosphere is amazing (especially in the courtyard) and nothing on the menu disappoints. Definitely a hidden gem. read more

I admit: I get a kick out of discovering new places. Not because I want to be the first, but more that I get to share my excitement. So hear me when I shout from the proverbial rooftop - Henry Lee's is a new breed of cafe! Henry Lee's is a concept cafe kitchen - meaning it's a significant step up from SAD (Standard Australian Dining). Hidden in a Redfern laneway (entrance off Hart Street) I bounced in with excitement when I saw the space blended the indoors and outdoors with a plant-filled urban courtyard and cozy indoor tables. The menu is remarkable - it reads like a weekend trip to your favourite butcher, farmers' market, juicery and tea bar. I started with a Tippity 'Chai Chai Chai' blended with Australian native herbs and served with coconut milk - I was singing the praises of aromatic myrtle medley (cinnamon, anise, lemon) and bought a jar to take home. Henry Lee's serves breakfast until 12pm, which we sadly just missed as I had my eye on the Push The Sky Away polenta porridge with salted pecan praline, poached rhubarb and The Urban Beehive honey. Notable sides: maple bacon + gin and citrus cured salmon. But dry your eyes Andjelka - the lunch menu is equally as incredible! We all shared a bunch of moorish dishes like a Middle Eastern inspired braised lamb salad, a pickled beetroot and kale number, and a flavoursome lamb shank sandwich with in-house made gluten free seeded bread. Top marks for looking out for glutard friends! Of course no shared meal is complete without potato - and the sweet potato wedges and paprika salted fries were the table favourites! Henry Lee's has only been open two weeks but they have the sustainable, small batch ethos down packed. I was not alone in my fanfare, my brother (who's a chef) high fived the kitchen and my friends are clambering to come back. More than a kick; I'm calling Henry Lee's a 'song and dance' eating out experience! read more

This was a recommendation by a friend. It was worth the recommendation. It is still a bit of a hidden gem with more out of towners' going to it. However, I would recommend getting there before 9:30 am on a Sunday unless you want to wait 30 minutes until a table is free. The coffee is on point, the service was funky and at the same time highlighted why certain people should be in the industry over others. Food... all I can say, is get in there and try before it runs out! I had the blue burger and words cannot explain the mixture of flavours I tasted. From the coffee infused bacon jam to the bright coloured orange yolks of the eggs. Highly recommend. Only reason I gave it a four star, was due to our first waiter being tad slow and not providing water glasses. But once waiter was changed out, this place rocked my socks off. read more

Henry Lee's - Henry's Avocado dream with poached egg and bacon. Best brunch I've ever had - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Redfern, NSW

Looks like they converted a little apartment courtyard in to a brunch/lunch restaurant. Great coffee and teas. The plates look like a work of art that you don't want to mess up. Food is packed with a ton of flavor, this is not your bland breakfast spot. Highly recommend read more

I love it when out of towners are first (and second!) to review new joints. Especially when we hick Westies are recommending good joints to you hip Sydneysiders. Why haven't you been here yet? You're missing out. My photos do all the talking. Your feet need to do some walking. Hurry up. read more

Poor service. I asked one of the waitress to attend uncontrolled pets rounded around the restaurant with no success. Not coming back.

Henry Lee's is magical. This establishment knows how to get the job done. Their manager is an eccentric young woman with nothing but pleasant assistance and great dance moves. The menu explores the intricacies of every taste bud, and offers a wide variety of modern breakfast and brunch dishes. The coffee and drink selection is unique and tasteful, and the wait staff is magnificent. Overall, the site is beyond welcoming with a laid back aura and magnificent tunes playing in the background. I have nothing but good things to say about this restaurant, and will definitely be returning regularly. I hope my kids, my kids kids, and my kids kids kids come to Henry Lee's for a spectacular meal. P.S. The manager told me the Benny Munro would change my life. It most certainly did. read more

They have a really great assortment of chais here! The food sounds and looks really good, but isn't cheap. I will be back for sure.

I was excited to go to this place, but then, when I had to wait more than 30 min to have my lunch (and assamble of roasted veggies) I wasn't at all.. So, the food was ok, but I've been waiting for so long that I didn't care. I will suggest to go on a weekend, or on a day when you don't have any appointments or meetings... The place has a cute backyard. The menu is fancy and attractive read more

This is my favorite brunch place in all of Sydney. It has fantastic service, a diverse menu and exceptional food. Extremely Instagram worthy plates and lattes. I will DEFINITELY be returning again. They have a cute little courtyard area to sit and wait for your brunch and you can order lattes too! So kind of them!!! Absolutely love this place. read more
