Sushma T.

Amazing! Great service, great people (staff and other customers), dog friendly, and amazing food. The decor is cute, food is fresh and coffee delicious. I plan to go here the next 2 days I am in Sydney and then I'll just have to crave it from home. The avocado smash is amazing- loved the one with feta. Toasties are great. Lots of vegetarian combos and everything made fresh so they can accommodate dietary requests. Worth going to, even if it's out of your way.

I was told that this is one of the best brunch spot and it delivered. We went late on a weekday and had a 10-15 min wait. And wait was well worth it. We sad inside and got a view of the madness in the kitchen, preparing delicious toasties and fast! I don't envy the chefs. We had the prosciutto toastie and open face trout sandwich. The prosciutto toastie blew me away. One of the best ever. The trout sandwich was great too but paled in comparison to the toastie. Got sides of green juice (bottled) and orange juice (glass, made in-house). The coffee drinks hit the spot too. Overall, a must try, if you are in Sydney!

Beef brisket .... tasty & substantial
Mick A.

The food is a real knockout here, and the coffee is pretty damn good too. I really love the casual ambience .... it is tight and small with people on baby stools around little tables; and people look engaged and happy. This discrete laneway is an ideal location for this place. The food is wonderful...consistently so too. The salads for me are the standout. There is the Ocean Trout, the Tuna, the Chicken, Ziad (chickpea) and the Beef Brisket. I can vouch for them all....and if a sandwich is your preference then the Beef Brisket is amazing. This is a substantial sandwich...generous in volume and tasty too; and then the Gypsy Ham is delicious, so too the Salvatori which is an open sandwich with ricotta, tomato and more. You can opt for the Cheese toastie, Chicken or Tuna sandwich all of which are enjoyable. You can do brekkie here too..... Coffee is excellent...you ask and they deliver your wish! The people serving here are great. There is a pride in their food and service, and they are joy to interact with. A Potts Point favourite of mine... .

Breakfast Rice

Room 10 is one venue responsible for charming the pants off me and ensuring that Potts Point remains firmly in my top 5 Sydney suburbs. Wander down Lankelly Place and Room 10 is a spot that if closed, you'll miss. Appropriately, there is only room for about 10 people within this cafe. I'd be confident in saying there'd be Double Bay wives who have closets bigger than this cafe. But don't let the size (or lack thereof) deter you from spending time getting acquainted with their velvety house blend or selecting a freshly made toastie or granola (made right behind you on the kitchen bench) from their health-packed menu options. I'd waited more than a year to try their Rice Breakfast. They were closed for renovations the last time I was in Sydney. This combination of quinoa, red rice, stewed rhubarb, blackberries, banana, fig, yoghurt and cinnamon was the answer to a light breakfast I'd wished for. It was fresh, light and filling. Oh and as other Yelpers have mentioned, Room 10 is home to surely some of the friendliest and least "I'm to hip to have a smile on my face" staff I've had the pleasure of talking with in Sydney. For once the expectation I'd placed upon this innocent cafe and it's rice breakfast stood up to my hopes and said, "Challenge Accepted."

Cute, cosy and intimate with amazing coffee and a thrown together ambience. If you like space this isn't the place to be but it has a great atmosphere with friendly and helpful staff. Good food which you can actually see prepared as seats are available in the kitchen.

Amazing cappuccino
Rob P.

This place lives up to then hype! One of the best cappuccinos I've ever had plus one of the best sandwiches as well... Ham, egg, cheese, and a spicy sauce. So good. I just wish they had wifi, though to their credit Andrew tried to set me up with his phone's wifi hotspot.

Toastie with Smoked Salmon
Casey Y.

I heard a lot of people raving about this place so I had to check it out myself and it ended up being really delicious. I ordered a Toastie with salmon. The sandwich was like an Eggs Benedict un sandwich mode. Everything was perfectly cooked and the poached egg ran down smoothly. One thing that I like was how the sandwich stayed in tact during my whole time eating it. A thing that annoys me is when a sandwich always has their insides pushing out and everything ends up falling apart. Customer service was really nice as well. I really recommend this for brunch!

Tuna Sandwich and fresh orange juice.
Richy P.

Super location for a healthy and cheap breakfast. Staff is friendly and fast. When you sit inside, you are basically sitting in the kitchen. We had a avocado sandwich and a tuna sandwich. Both super delicious. Definitely worth a visit when you are near Kings Cross In Sydney.

best beef sandwich and ham toastie ever!
Xia Z.

My wife had beef sandwich and me a ham toastie. both great, best ever, 5 star! The waitress is both enthusiastic and helpful. The location is a bit hard to find. Just trust the Google map and remember there's a 10 sign above.

So Room 10 is not just a creative name - the entire establishment is the size of a small room. 10 people can fit inside. (Ok fine, so maybe it's a nod to the address, but I'd like to think otherwise.) But what's that old "it's not the size of the ship" adage? 'Cause damn, do the fine folks behind this establishment produce incredible things from such a humble shop. Fantastic breakfast. Incredible coffee. It's a small menu, big flavours, focus-on-the-important-things-because-they're-all-we-have-room-for type of place. And I'm completely into it. It's brilliance, understated. And dare I say - it's the best coffee I've had in Sydney thus far. Indeed, I dare. Get there quick, while there are still seats available... 9 and counting...

Walking through Kings Cross in the middle of the day is a surreal experience, it's as if the whole world (within the X) went quiet, no longer are there tooting cars, loud clubs, and interrupting bouncers, it's a tranquil slightly off-beat day time adventure. Room 10 conveniently places itself in Potts Point, which is still on the main strip of Kings Cross the notorious night life district of Sydney, if you're unfamiliar. Within a cosy little side street, adjoining hostels and laundromats, is a hole in the wall breakfast & coffee bar. With ample outdoor seating Room 10 does fit more than 10 people - so you can take your extended family of 12. The long L shaped kitchen within the cafe ensures that you always see how/who and what people are ordering. The service is great, and the waitress is always within a metre in this tiny place, constantly replenishing your stock of tap water, and/or coffee. I had the Avo on Toast - and was asked if I'd like the linseed sourdough, which was fantastic! With ample avocado to spread evenly (more than just a green hue) across the toast. Most coffee's look great, and are very carefully constructed, although at the time mine was slightly burnt on the creme. I will go back again, and give them the benefit of the doubt.

They got a really great menu and it's just a nice vibe. Go with friends or just by yourself, I always love it here

Sophie Valiant was a pioneer of cafe culture on the North Shore who used to drive her van to…read moreCremorne Wharf every morning in the 90's for 5 years. With her espresso machine she would make coffee and sell her handmade muffins from a collapsible table. The clientele was either commuters, tourists or for those who had time would sit on wooden stools and bask in the sun. Her clientele was consistent and the view being one of the best of Sydney Harbour. A permanent white box was then designed for her by Burton Katon Halliday where she was able to house a microwave, stove, fridge and her expresso machine and at that time the cafe was called See Sea. The coffee beans are from boutique coffee house Roseberry Street in Manly Vale, Northern Beaches. A Cremorne walk along the harbour can end with a coffee and muffin consumed one of the little wooden chairs and tables, your walk can continue afterwards through to Mosman or Taronga Zoo. Sophie passed away a few years ago and a close friend appealed that this place be remembered as her own. It is now fittingly called Sophie's Place. It is a must visit to Sydney, for the coffee and the views. Ask for Bernie if there is more than one person there but he by far is one of the best Baristas in this city.

For a quick coffee on the go, this spot is perfect. I usually grab a flat white before jumping onto…read morethe ferry and the barista never has a problem with making it extra hot for me :) My only gripe is that I wish they were open a little more frequently. Otherwise, thumbs up!
