In a last minute decision to go out for breakfast which turned into brunch, out of the nearby…read moreplaces, Three Monkeys stood out as somewhere to spend my Sunday morning at. It's right on the corner, with plenty of parking nearby. It's very quaint, painted brick, like it belongs outside, it's a small cozy cafe, but it was bustling for brunch time. We got seated in the back patio area, which was again, very cute and cozy. Ordered was the Beets and Thyme Salmon, a Sweet Monkey and a Vanilla Cronut. I had the lemon grass and ginger tea, which was very spot on with the salmon. It came out like a work of art and was so yummy, the flavor matched the presence. It was best getting a little bit of everything on one forkful, the salmon, the thyme, the egg and potato rosti. The Sweet Monkey delivered just as well, the roti was crunchy and soft, and all of the toppings went well with it, nothing over the top that masked the others, it just worked. The Vanilla Cronut was good; yes, I've had better ones, both for the purpose of having a cronut, it did it's job. I didn't catch our waitresses name, but every single person here was more than friendly. All of their menu items look creative and tasty. I eyed some of the burgers other tables ordered, they were good portioned and looked good. And skimming over the lunch menu, it definitely is a place to come back to. I think I read that breakfast is all day here, but don't quote me on that one.

The Coffee is better than those big coffee chain but you cannot expect speciality coffee grade (proud Mary, 5 senses, st Ali, etc) - but it satisfy my caffeine dose for the day. Food (4 stars)- I've ordered Porky Pig, myself with an Asian background I am very picky with Pork smell and how they cook. Three monkey cooked this tender soft n caramelised with sweet tamarind. The salad at the side compliment it well. Jeng

The thing was that when I came here we didn't have all that much time so I just grabbed a take-away tea and ran to catch the train, but looking around I really wanted to spend some more time here. Oh, and the staff were awesome, which is probably why I want to come back.

I've eaten here a few times now, and this cafe continually impresses me…read more The food is great. Beautiful Dench sourdough breads (also available to purchase in whole loaves), perfectly poached eggs, and an interesting menu with beautiful presentation make it a delight to eat here. The coffee is veneziano, made well, and there is usually a single origin coffee available. No filter coffee menu, but the single origin espresso option is usually fresh and enjoyable. And available! Which is spectacular in the outer eastern suburbs, where I am usually met with a blank state when I ask if there is a single origin coffee on offer. They have Larsen and Thompson teas available, but if you like to be specific about how your tea is brewed, be prepared, as they serve them without brew timers. The space is nice, with an outdoor table out the front, some tables inside, and space out the back. It can get busy! Especially on the weekend. The staff are great, though, with service being prompt and friendly, and chatty when it's not too busy. *TL;DR: currently the best specialty coffee cafe in the outer eastern suburbs, so visit!

The crispy eggs at Mr H actually made my eyes roll back in my head. I called people on the phone after I finished eating to discuss it.... so ya, it's that good. The sweet potato purée is the perfect nest for the crispy fried poached eggs. The fresh cos lettuce salad with homemade ranch cuts through the luscious ham hock perfectly and the sliced sourdough toast is an excellent tool to tie it all in. I'm drooling just typing about it. I went back a second time, but made sure to but take my husband because I wanted to share the love. While he ate, I snapped a photo of him that is cringeworthy, but you can see the expression on his face while shovelling the remnants of a crispy egg that he is indeed in food heaven nirvana. I decided to get the brocolinni salad my second visit which was outstanding as well, really high caliber food and so healthy and fresh. My only, only complaint would be smoking outside on the patio. In 2016, and that is a huge turnoff while enjoying a coffee or a splendid meal. Love ya Mr Hendrix. Mrs Hendrix is a lucky lady

In summer it is a great place to relax with the parrots and other bird life. In winter a spot by the fire is sort after, and a warming experience, but i still prefer the balcony with heaters. Stonehouse Cafe is a family run business and located in a historical building. The menu has traditional European and modern Australian cuisine and i can recommend the chicken burger. Filling and fill of flavour and juicy chicken. They do coffee well and the cake cabinet is tempting, look at your own risk. The staff are fast and friendly and I would feel confident recommending this place to locals and tourists alike.
