So when this cafe first opened the coffee was exceptional. But sadly like all good cafes that…read morebecome popular, they have changed - and not for the better. Now the quality of the coffee is inconsistent. Sometimes it is a good cup of coffee and others it is undrinkable. So honestly it depends on your luck. The food is the same, but with all the options now opening in the area it no longer worth coming down. In other words I have stopped coming at all to this cafe.

Their basic croissants are some of the best of the city, and definitely one of the very rare "real French croissants" you can get this far from the super trendy suburbs of Sydney. Their other pastries keep changing and it feels like the variety increases every time I go have a look. Raspberry danishes, almond-chocolate croissants, rhubarb and strawberry foldeovers and much more. They also do sandwiches, quiches and I've seen meat pies too, so even those without a sweet tooth will find something good to eat. And coffee - it's good to finally have another decent brand of coffee in the neighbourhood, and I've always been happy with my lattes.

Anyway, they're one of the convenient places open relatively late in the area so I guess you don't have much of a choice if you're after dessert later in the night. The honey macadamia cheese cake was fairly decent, and they have a fair few other cheesecake options as well. Staff mentioned the cookies and cream would be a good choice.

Its not super classy or overpriced. Its just good to fill your caffeine crave daily. I've tried a few but despite loving black coffee. I simply love the Green Tea Latte here. It just smells great. So head down to Rhodes and try it out. It's not super awesome, but hey the price is worth it for the taste. Plus a friendly Barista!

Great place to stop in for brekky on a Sunday morning…read more Staff were relatively friendly and cheerful. We had a quick skim of the menu, ordered at the counter and the food was out in a flash. We had the steak sandwich and the Avocado & tomato bruschetta. For drinks we went with a soy mocha and a kiwi smoothie (no dairy in the smoothies). The bruschetta was very nice. Mix of different tomatoes including some cherry tomatoes. The egg was poached perfectly and the bread was excellent as well. My only feedback here is that the serving could have been larger. It's only one slice of toast and one egg. For $13 I thought it was pushing the limits with the serving size. The steak sandwich was nice - I only had one bite but it was quite tasty. Thinly cut steak with sauce, lettuce, and cheese on Turkish. It was also served with natural style chips. The soy mocha wasn't bad. The kiwi smoothie was tasty. We originally opted for the mango but they were out of mango, strawberry, and one other flavour. Plenty of outdoor seating and a nice open area for the kids to run around adjacent to the restaurant. All in all. Well worth stopping in.

The menu also properly noted dietary information, so it made ordering easy. - The crab omelette has perfect ratio of crab meat and egg - you could taste the crab. Instead of croissant, the gluten-free version was on two slices of gluten-free breads. - Prawn Katsu Sando was not gluten free. The sauce spread on the brioche bread complimented the fried prawn very well. The added roe added an interesting texture in addition to crispy prawn.

The coffee is excellent, steamy hot and very creamy. The biscuits can be best described as mega biscuits...a huge size, more than several mouthfuls. A pot of tea is delivered to the table with a beautiful fine cup and saucer. Drinking from a fine china cup always makes a difference when drinking tea! The cup and saucers look like someone prized collection. Located in the Village Shopping Centre at Meadowbank there is plenty of parking and the cafe is surrounded by several shops and supermarkets. There are only a few tables but this is still an interesting little place.

Perfect size, flavour and presentation. Mains were average. Seafood seemed a bit lacking in the Zuppa. Calamari rings were so tiny! The calzone bread was nice and soft but I wasn't a fan of the cheese used. I like particularly strong tasting cheese so this just tasted more towards melted rubber than cheese for me.
