A Salad Works lunch in Hyde Park has become my daily ritual. Always fresh, fast and delicious, you…read morecan grab a generously sized salad for around $10. All salads come in medium or large (or can be turned into a wrap); the large is actually ginormous so definitely opt for the medium. There are a bunch of suggestions on the board, or you can make your own using the salads checklist by the front counter. I'm a fan of the Signature Salad (lettuce, steamed chicken breast, sweet potato, eggplant, sultanas, sliced almonds, and peas) and the Smoked Salmon (lettuce, tomato, boiled egg, fetta, olives, sunflower seeds and capers). There are also a few different kinds of yoghurt and fresh fruit salads available for a healthy dessert. This place sure beats most of the other city lunch offerings.

Their rainbow salad selection is the bomb and best of all, it's all ready for me to take-away at 8:00am on my walk to work. The cooked brunches are also the shiz; full with veggies, legumes and general orgasmic-organic-goodness. I often find myself food browsing, wanting to buy something 'for later', like one of their spelt muffins or a packet of coconut flour to bake with. Raw 'confections' always seduce me, too. 5 stars for The Big O.

Crown street has lots of cafes to choose from but O Organic offers a solid menu! The produce that you're served is organic, I appreciate that the cafe supports farmers - You can definitely taste the quality ingredients. I added halloumi to the green healing bowl, I was only expecting two small pieces of cheese, however the serving was very generous! Considering all the healthy elements of the meal it tasted SO good! There are lots of vegan and vegetarian options which is also great! At the front of the store you'll notice healthy treats and take away goodies! A little pricey $27 for a juice and lunch (one person), still you expect this in Surry hills and I certainly don't mind paying for quality!

Our favorite dishes were the banana pancakes, tofu scramble, and the black sesame latte (with a shot of espresso).

Service is friendly and attentive, even during busy hours. Definitely a place I will return to whenever I am in Sydney.

But fear not, Saladworks is one of those places which will very quickly suck you in and get you addicted to them. And to top it off, you will not be worried an ounce about this particular addiction. Saladworks is a great concept which easily walks over to the top of Sumo Salad. At the site at World Square, the Saladworks junkies line up in the hordes, totally oblivious to the rest of the lunch crowd trying to get past them. The scene is very much a real life version of Plants v Zombies ........ and I am proud to say I am one of those Zombies. There are about a dozen salad suggestions, plus you can create your own. All salads come in two sizes and there is absolutely no problems with subtracting and adding ingredients. The staff are fast and accurate and nothing seems to be a problem. I reckon when you get to go to your first Saladworks, you will be like many others and be kicking yourself from not thinking of the concept first. Enjoy. PS .... I have created about 12 Saladworks Zombies myself.

Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? Haven has a great nautical vibe and an open air shop that's casual, comfortable, and maybe surprisingly would be a great place to get some work done. The service is top notch, and my coffee and sandwich came out quickly. Star. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? $6.00 AUD for a pressed ham and cheese croissant sandwich is an absolute steal, and $4.00 AUD for Haven's flagship Milk Coffee was equally cheap. Great value. Star. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? Everything here at Haven was good. The Milk Coffee didn't particularly stand out to be honest given it was pitched as a flagship menu item, bu the pressed croissant sandwich was something I hadn't had before and was great as far as breakfast sandwiches go.

Sandwiches, sandwiches, SANDWICHES!!!…read more Like Joey from Friends, I love me some sandwiches. I believe this place opened less than a month ago, and I noticed it when I went to Single Origin one day and made a note to check it out. As its namesake states, this place is a simple sandwich shop. The interior is cozy, the people friendly, and the music sets the mood. Me gusta. The place is clean, straight to the point with natural and fresh ingredients, affordable (under $10!) and tasty to boot. They don't do sides except for the bread they serve during breakfast, and they also have salads if you don't want to have a sandwich. Let's be real here though, why would you go to The Sandwich Shop and not order a sandwich? Depending on the sandwich, you get to choose what kind of bread you'd like as well between rye, sourdough, and whole wheat. The sandwiches on tap are: Chicken Schnitzel The Sandwich Club Rare Roast Beef Tuna + White Bean Smoked Salmon Bagel The Original New York Reuben Pulled Pork The Ultimate Salad Sandwich You can also create your own sambo if you like. My friend and I ordered the Rare Roast Beef and The Original New York Reuben. If you like cheese, you will like the Rare Roast Beef. The Fontina Cheese used to top this was massive and flavourful. The roast beef could have been a bit more rare for my taste but it was still very good nonetheless. The Reuben...the reuben was great. I wouldn't call it the Original New York Reuben but that's not a bad thing. The Reuben served here was very high quality, as the beef is a thicker and juicier slice than you'd get with a New York Reuben. The cheese, sauerkraut and dressing were great as well. Definitely the best "Reuben" I've had in Sydney so far. If you like sandwiches you can't go wrong here. I'll have to come back to try the others.

Situated in Surry hills near a number of local shelters, it is situated perfectly for diners to really understand what they're contributing to. It is there to encourage compassion and understanding of others. What is remarkable in this financial driven world is that 100% of the profits are used to enact change. The pay wages, staff and then profits are 50% selected by staff and 50% selected by customers. You place a rubber ball in a jar and the money goes to different charities. On the counter we're some amazing brownies, friands and other cakes. We opted for dining in and sat outside, ordering a granola with yogurt, milk, rhubarb and poached pear. A lovely little dish. We also got the fried haloumi with poached eggs and salad. Accompanied with a cup of brewed tea and a cold brew. Great breakfast options and a lovely environment. Servings may seem a little small, but you can always get a sweet treat to go.

I ordered a large tuna salad. it was good value at under 10 bucks but I found it slightly boring. This probably had something to do with the fact that it had no hard boiled egg thrown in. This is normally a crucial ingredient and I only learned of it not being available well after I had placed my order when one of the assistants told another customer that they were out of egg. I should have revised my order at that point, but it should never have gotten to that. The salad arrived and there was no problem with the size. It was a generous portion, but without much dressing, egg or any other exciting ingredients it really wasn't anything special. Maybe it was a one off and it looks like it is very popular so I'm sure its worth a second chance. It does 'do it yourself' salads and pastas which is quite nice for fussy eaters. It is also a free Wi Fi zone which can be a big attraction
