Fortunately, there's still good coffee, outdoor seating, and a fairly casual atmosphere. The modern design, and folding windows look onto leafy Cooper St, the breeze flows in with natural light, for a warm refreshing atmosphere. The breakie sandwich with poached egg and bacon, was a yummy treat, and the other sandwiches looked great as well. If you're after a quick sit down relaxing lunch with a strong bitter coffee with a smooth aftertaste, then head to Lion cafe - If you're after great service, and a 5 star food experience, head elsewhere.

The large windows can become open air so you feel like you're outdoors - my fav part of this small corner cafe. Lower takeaway prices available. They're not very fast but it's worth the wait.

I shared a entree which was a nicely done roasted beet root with creamy goat cheese. Then I had an excellent Normandy style veal while my friend ordered the beef bourguignon. The side of green beans was also fresh and flavorfully prepared - make a reservation - $35 per main and about $20 for entrées

This is an awesome little French cafe, hidden away on Havelock St in Coogee…read more We went for breakfast last weekend and it was perfect. The decor both inside and out really reminds me of the cafes lining the boulevards in France. Now to the food - I ordered a cappuccino and a pain au chocolat and they were perfect. My pastry was crisp and buttery with warm chocolate inside. My partner chose the croque Monsieur and boy it looked intense and smelled divine. A ham and cheese sandwich dipped in beschamel and fried in cheese? Yes it lived up to the hype. The dinner menu also looks lovely and I'm glad to see there's a few vegetarian options on the menu. Definitely recommend going for breakfast or dinner! PS I went for dinner last night and the food and service was absolutely divine. Highly recommend cheese soufflé, truffle mash (oh lord still dreaming about that) and the Rosé wine.

The quintessential inner west weekend brunch spot. Pig and the Pastry has been a recent discovery…read morefor me and I keep coming back for more. It's a fairly decent sized space with some seating outside, being right next to a public park is good and bad for parking. The service is always friendly and accommodating depending on your group size, probably best to call ahead of time for large groups as its big enough to be a cafe but not large enough to be classified a restaurant in Sydney. All the produce used in the food is fresh and most likely of organic origins (which I'm guessing on the decor and vibe). Simple and clear menu has some classics like a Chicken Schnitzel but done with a humble salad and chipotle that transports your tastebuds. Breakfast has some healthy-ish options but these are taken in consideration with the core component of the meal. Take the Bacon and Egg Roll, it's served as a burger and the barbecue sauce commands the dish. Cakes and pastry is sold as eat-in and take away items (which change every so often), coffee and milkshakes as well. The gingerbread is a favourite of mine - super refreshing for the sinus. At the end of the day, this is a humble little place that 's rustic feel and pastel interiors make it feel homely and the food cements this feeling. A place to return for sure.

We arrived on a Sunday afternoon, the place is packed to capacity; we were kindly greeted and sat down with menus. We both had heard about the "freakshakes" and so 2 freakshakes were on our agenda. The 2 freakshakes came out. The golden gaytime shake and the chocolate volcano. Where to begin; saw the staff walking out and these shakes were massive and filled with toppings. The golden gaytime was a mix between a golden gaytime and an iced coffee; and don't forget the donuts!. The other was a choc shake with a chocolate soufflé on top, so tasty, warm and gooey! Everything you want in a good shake was there. The freakshakes are a MUST. Shorty after we ordered our mains; a lamb and pumpkin salad spread and a delicious Dean! The staff throughout the whole visit were quick, friendly and suggestive. They knew the menu well. Whilst we were still finishing our shakes, the meals came out, the presentation was impeccable. Great spread of food and was excited to dig in. The lamb was very tender and the other flavours on the dishes came out strongly, pumpkin, beetroot and the dressing. The other dish, was tasty, the poached egg was just right and had a great flavour with the basil pesto and the prosciutto. After having two extremely satisfying meals here and great service. Will be here again.
