Great spot for breakfast; nice vibe, good coffees, tasty food and high chairs…read more We headed up here for an early breakfast in winter on a Monday morning. We had our 10 month old in tow and it was surprisingly great. We ordered 2 coffees, plus the avocado with tomato and fetta and just eggs on toast. Prices are reasonable (approx $12 a meal) and the service was lovely. Lots of delicious looking pastries and sweets and the coffee was good. For an out of the way spot in NB, there was a steady takeaway coffee crowd so we weren't the only ones that liked it. That they have high chairs is a massive win in our book and makes breakfast so much easier with a little guy. For winter, there are quite a few tables inside which is nice.

The fried eggs that came with my meal were oozing (the way I like it) and were pretty good. The only downfall was they were covered in pepper.

Chaos exists for one purpose and one purpose only - BREAKFAST…read more Oh, I know, I know, they do lunch as well, but the other Yelp reviews of this joint cover that off adequately enough, and (imho) lunch kind of misses the point. In fact, it totally misses the point, because Chaos' breakfast menu is daring, brazen and nothing short of spectacular. Nowhere else in Sydney offers a brekkie menu like these food bandits have rustled up. My hands-down favourite? the BACON POT HASH, a gigantic plate of bacon, mushrooms, potato, tomato, onion, and gravy ladled onto a coupla pieces of thick cut toast. The greatest hangover cure known to mankind. The corn fritters on a bed of salsa are also pretty radical - ask for a side dish of minced jalapeno chili to really kickstart your morning. They smash eggs benny, muesli, fresh juices and smoothies too, as well as all your other standard brekkie fare, but their signature items are where it's at. And, as a bonus, if you finish one of their colossal meals you get a plaque on the wall. Fine you don't really, but the meals are seriously big enough to choke an Orc. Killer, just killer. Get involved on a sunny mid-morning after a late night out on the tiles.

As I was waiting for my coffee I saw the most amazing looking schnitzel burgers pass me from the kitchen-and that's coming from a vegetarian- cementing my decision to give Chaos a red-hot go for food next time I'm in the area.

So we gave this one a go, and were quite pleased with it :) For one, this place is a LOT roomier than most of the cafes we've been to. It's got a nice open plan, with a big round table in the middle of the room for larger groups, and several smaller tables. I suppose it holds a pretty average number of people, but it's just set up nicely so it doesn't feel too crowded. It's got big windows with lots of natural light, which is super nice too. We walked there, mostly uphill all the way, and it was pretty warm out. I start sweating buckets after 5 min in anything over 20 degrees. So we (especially me) really appreciated that they had a couple of big fans in the place :P The decor is pretty great. My husband said it looks like a hip granny's house, which pretty much nails it. Everything is yellow, white, and green, but not like in an overwhelming way. It feels really chill and breezy. And they played cool funk music the whole time, which just added to the "hip granny" vibe. So, on to the food and drinks, which are just a bit important, haha. We got ourselves this strawberry tart to share, and my husband got a flat white. I had 2 drinks (I'm a thirsty lady), an iced tea with lemongrass and ginger and a Belgian hot chocolate. All of it was good. I loved the tart - it was flavourful without being overly sweet. My husband enjoyed his coffee. The iced tea was a bit surprising - you usually expect it to be sweet, but it was kind of savoury almost. It threw me off at first, but once I got over my dissonance there, it was pretty good. The hot chocolate was really nice too, very chocolatey but not overly rich. Also, the staff were nice and seemed pretty easygoing, much more than I usually see at cafes, so that was nice :) The only downside is that, as far as I know, there's no free wi-fi. That would be great, cos really it'd be a nice place to sit down and do some work for a while (something my husband was looking forward to doing). Aside from that, we were really happy with our outing and will probably go back again :)

But putting aside the layout this is still a good cafe. The coffee here is good, and the barista is a lover of coffee and willing not only to advise, but also to complain about what is lacking with their style of coffee - which was surprisingly refreshing. The food here should be your drawing card here. It is simple but good. I really like the breakfast brioche, especially when add some mushrooms to it. Saying that they are willing here to add or subtract anything on the menu to make exactly what you would like on your plate. Going from there, the staff here are extremely friendly, and make you feel as if you are home. Which generally improve your experience. This is an extremely relaxed and that is awesome for the weekends. But sometimes this place is extremely busy and so you might miss out on a seat, but if you are lucky you can sit down and relax.
