    Walked by here and decided to stop by. From the outside, the atmosphere was very industrial and…read moremodern at the same time. Immediately upon walking in, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. We ordered multiple things, and the staff was incredibly accommodating to the changes that we wanted on our food. The food was very flavorful and hot when it arrived. The food did take a little bit to arrive, but good things take time. In the time waiting for the food, it was made clear that this was a place full of regular customers. The staff seemed to have inside jokes with many customers. The drinks were made very efficiently.

    Had to go to Alexandria to pickup a new TV today so looked up some brunch places in the area and…read morestumbled upon this one. What a find! The guy who runs this place is Peruvian and you can see the influence in some of the dishes here, especially the Peruvian Roll (duh.) If you've never had Peruvian chincarron before, you really need to get this roll. Seriously. It's one of the best rolls I've had in Sydney. The kumera (sweet potato) isn't overcooked, the pork is tender and delicious, the fried egg is a perfect runniness, and the salsa criolla with lemon mayo is a great complement. Friends got a few of the other stuff on the menu like the Puffed Galette, Beef Hash, and Mushroom Medley and really enjoyed those, in particular the Puffed Galette. They use coffee beans from The Golden Cobra and the coffee is pretty spot on. If you want to taste all the notes in the coffee with a cold brew, they do that too. The places loses marks only because service can be hit or miss. Food took an inordinate amount of time and waitress forgot things here and there. Otherwise, the food and coffee are fantastic.

    I completely walked by this place the first time I was wandering around Spice Alley, but once I…read morelooked at the small cafe's Asian fusion menu, I knew I wanted to try it. You order at the front register, and they bring your order to you. I've only tried their hojicha latte and taro latte, but they are the best lattes (no coffee) I've ever had. They're so flavorful and rich with a fluffy foam design on top. The drink itself is smooth and creamy but not overly sweet. Hits the spot!

    All coffees are not created equal…read more I know this because of Glider. The original is in Potts Point, this is the new venue, and it's an absolute corker. They've set up shop in a teeny tiny Lilliputian cottage in Kensington Lane in the new Central Park precinct. It backs onto Spice Alley and has light-filled interiors that are all white walls and light wood and it feel positively Scandinavian. Then there's the coffee. Good lord, man. It comes served in these custom cups, they're kind of grainy and glazed and feel like they've been hewn out of very light sandstone by some unnamed master craftsman who will die a nobody but be recognised posthumously as one of the finest artisans of this or any age, Van Gogh style. The barista had the obligatory mustache but boy, did this dude know what service felt like. Polite, friendly, charming, without being overbearing. Win stars out of five. Top class, thank you and goodnight.
