Three weeks in oz and this might have been my favourite place in terms of food. GreAt modern choices with great creative combinations. Everything was cooked to perfection, fresh and tasty. Staff were friendly and the ambience was nice too. Loved the pork burger, trout, smashed avo and duck eggs. And the fries were tasty and crispy!!! read more

Got super keen to come here after seeing a post on Instagram of the crazy Hot Cakes with Berries and popcorn sprinkled all over it . My dad works in this neck of the woods and remembered trying the coffee here once cause they were handing out coffee vouchers at the shopping centre close by when they first opened their doors . I Decided to give this place a go this morning with a friend who lives close by. They're building a bridge over the water to Newington beside the cafe so there was alot of Construction going on but wasn't to hard to find cause there wasn't much open where they're located I got there about 9 so there wasn't many people there until at about 10ish. I ordered an extra long black & my friend had a flat white. I had to order the Over loaded Hot cakes seeing as I'm king Pin of dessert eating !! Also ordered a simple eggs with toast and my friend had the the tomato, cheese, avo, chilli etc on toast. Scrambled eggs on toast was tasty so was the dish my friend had !! Both Coffee's were not bad but nothing that was a stand out and the Over Loaded hot cakes in my opinion looked Amazing and had people beside me Gawking and pointing i want that haha.. but as they say lookscan be deceiving... i didn't like the Hot cakes much at all except for the Popcorn, Berries & caramelized Banana. But i have to admit that the staff were super friendly and helpful, smiling and chit chatting a bit, also that the Decor was nicely presented and comfortable . P.S. the food is not as bad as the guy in the review before me is decribing it, i can vouch that the breakfast meals were tasty but to stay clear of the hotcakes unless your after a cool photo !! As for the waiting time I'm guessing he might of came to this cafe in the middle of the day on the weekend.. if so what do you expect for the new hustle & bustle Neighborhood Rhodes lol !! read more

Left of Field, located on the water at Rhodes has been a popular café for a few years now. Ever since it opened, it has been buzzing with visitors. I visited early in its opening to sample the earl grey pancakes with popcorn and they have updated their menu regularly and I hence revisited to sample their new offerings. You must visit for the pancakes. These are not the kind of pancakes you can mix and flip yourself at home. These are the type that a super fluffy, yet crunchy on the outside and like a mix with a muffin. They are then sent into overdrive. The Pavlova pancakes are like no other. Topped with meringue crumbs, passionfruit coulis, pieces of kiwi fruit, strawberries and blueberries. On the top is a caramelized banana and served with a side of vanilla custard cream. They are begging to be devoured. And devoured we did. We urge you to keep an eye out for the winter menu as we hear a new pancake option that will be sure to be a hit. But we will leave the surprise to the them. We're also regular fans of a pannacotta. This version was a yoghurt panacotta and very creamy, it had just the right amount of wobble. Served with a beautiful roasted coconut granola with strawberries, blueberries, and toasted coconut. One of the best we've tasted. Although the sweet options were superb, we thought it would be good to sample a lunch option too and so we went for the Autumn Roast Vegetables - market veggies including beetroot, pumpkin on hummus with farro and hazelnut dukkah. You can also add chicken or haloumi to your dish. There's plenty of delicious sounding items on the menu: cheesesteak, fried chicken sandwich or the lof burger and you're set for the perfect lunch. The coffees are great too, we went for a cappuccino and an iced coffee. They have some sweet treats too - the ever popular butterbing cookies. It is also a licensed venue so you can enjoy a beer, wine or cider on your visit. The space has a light filled interior, clean styling and a sizeable outdoor area too. It is very welcoming and the staff are extremely hospitable and focused on A + service. The food came out as quick as we ordered, we were suitably impressed. Don't take our word for it. You must visit. read more

My husband and I chose LoF because of reviews online and we weren't disappointed. When we arrived at the front, we were greeted by a friendly guy, who offered a seat inside or out; we chose to sit it in, as it was windy. My first impression was, clean, inviting but the music and chatter was very loud, however it kind of disappears once you're chatting amongst yourselves. Once sat at our table we were greeted by Summer, the waitress, who brought the menu and chilled table water. I chose the Tomatoes, avo w Chilli and Lime on Sourdough, I asked for the cheese to be removed (no dramas) and added poached eggs. My husband chose this shortcakes with fruit and popcorn with a custard. We both had a skim FW. My dish was massive! With lots of flavoursome tomatoes and the poached eggs were amazing. A fantastic dish. The thing that stood out for me and this may sound silly but the waitress swapped my regular knife with a knife that had a serrated edge! No more shaking the whole table while trying to cut your sourdough 10/10. My husband's dish was huge and throughly enjoyable. A suggestion; allow guests to choose how many hot cakes to have, as 3 was a lot for one person. The coffee; my husband loved it. I thought it was a little bitter, but a small amount of sugar helped that. It was delicious. Definitely a place to go, great atmosphere, great staff, amazing food and coffee and a big plus: has its own bathroom!! It also serves alcohol, which is a rare thing for Rhodes! Definitely going to check this place out for dinner on an evening. read more

Me and my girls had a really solid breakfast here. We'll be back. I only found this place because it popped up on Yelp one morning. Tucked away in the apartments of Rhodes, you probably wouldn't find it unless you lived there. The service we had was top notch. I saw some other reviews complaining, but maybe they're from when the place was just getting started? All I can say is that our service was better than most cafes in Sydney. The coffee is from Single Origin in Surry Hills. They also had a selection of cronuts and those scroll(from Oregano) that are so popular these days The venue is full of light, with a good setup that doesn't feel crowded. We were there early in the morning, and there were already a few people, so I wouldn't be surprised if it gets really busy in the day. read more

This is what Rhodes has been waiting for - a cafe with great food and great coffee. The menu is delightful - seasonal selections designed to take your tastebuds all the way. The coffee, sublime. The pastries, a diabetic's wet dream. The decor, a hipsters delight. And the comeback sauce is clearly designed with one purpose.... To make you come back for more. read more

Fantastic service, the price is right for the food being offered. Pay special attention to the mouth-watering hot cake, you should never miss it. read more

My new favorite local. Staff are very professional, friendly and welcoming. Food is very fresh, comes in generous portions, and is beautifully presented. They have come a long way from when they first opened. Their food was good then too, however it's coffee that makes or breaks a place for me. It used to be average, but now, it's actually one of the better coffees you'll find in Sydney. Well done guys! read more

Garbage. Half an hour wait for a table, another 45 minute wait for the worst food I've had at a cafe in ages. Had "smokey" baked beans that looked and tasted like they came out of a Heinz can, with boring sides. Friends had a plate that was literally just sliced avocados and tomatoes on bread, no flavour, not even eggs (they had to ask for them to be added). Last plate was a frozen crab burger with cold chips that tasted like they came from a Mc-Cain's bag. I've had better food at McDonald's. Looks like they put more effort into their shitty hipster-lite, faux retro decor than they did into what the actually serve. A try hard cafe that's run for Instagram likes. Even the coffee tasted weird. Wouldn't recommend. read more

What can you say. It's a place where you are always treated like a guest. The food is amazing and always changing so it's easy to return over and over again. Well worth a visit and say hello to Joel. read more

Awesome atmosphere... Great location. And with sizes of coffee either Biggie or Smalls you know this place is dope

Really Good enviroment，just located next to parramatta river. Good location. The pork burger is impressive. But beef steak sandwiches not have much flavour. Overall still really like it! read more

Lovely bright cafe located in a nice space in Rhodes. The atmosphere is fresh and the customer service is plentiful and attentive. I highly recommend the Hotcakes with caramelised banana, Earl Grey custard and maple popcorn $16 and the Honey glazed pork belly, sweet potato puree, grilled onions, snap peas and radish $25. read more

dinner was disappointing. The steak was served "well done" when we asked for "medium". When prompted the server said" apparently the grill was too hot and normally the kitchen gets it spot on" its a shame cause the steak on the menu is $35 and its meant to be a beautiful cut of meat. read more

The guy in charge of seating was everywhere, had no idea how on customer service only was looking after his regulars. Coffee was weak and milky, coffee flavoured milk to be exact.. not worth the wait and disappointing read more
