BF and I walked into this place and immediately spied the best table in the house- tucked away into a corner with a cushioned bench seat. A waiter made eye contact with us, and gestured toward the table with a grand flourish. Coming over to us with menus, he conspiratorially whispered, "Best seats in the house." Thus began our love affair with the Three Williams. At least one William of the Three who run this place has clearly been in the hospitality industry for a long time. First of all, they've actually got a hostess whose express purpose is to guide patrons to their table. They also have a veritable army of extremely capable and friendly staff members, so the service is speedy and cheerful. It's in a spacious, warehouse-y feeling underground space, encased in polished concrete to keep you nice and cool, with tables that are arranged so that you're not directly on top of the diners next to you. Fab coffee, fresh juice was a nice big serving, and the food... man oh man was that Merchant roll, already having been deliciously deconstructed by our very own fearless leader Benny B., ever awesome... all pickles and soft bun and runny yolk and salty bacon and more pickles... I never wanted it to end. BF's prawn "narnie"- made with house-crafted griddled naan bread- came with 5 juicy marinated grilled prawns, creamy aioli, crispy iceburg lettuce and a mountain of guacamole and sweet corn. Be warned: it's a messy work of edible art. He also ordered fish croquettes which he loved that came served in a cardboard egg crate- v cute preso. The worst part of our experience was leaving our awesome, cozy, comfy corner seats to go up and resist impulsively buying some freshly iced donuts cleverly positioned next to the cash register whilst paying our bill. At $42.50 for a coffee, juice, 2 fish croquettes, and 2 sandwiches, it's not cheap. But with that spacious venue, all of those staff members ensuring an enjoyable experience and the quality of the food served, I'd pay it any day. Like tomorrow. And the day after that.
Surprisingly no waiting time over here, I went on two different occasions for breakfast on a Saturday and Sunday. Saturday had a queue but well managed by a dedicated member of staff at the door. The Sunday on the other hand was pretty empty not even half-filled. None of that communal table business and bar seating here. Yes, you can have your own table. I don't know if some people actually enjoy those sharing huge tables but certainly don't. THE MERCHANT $13 Well prepared ingredients, classic bacon and egg roll but of course improved with a slight kick from the chilli and acidity and crunch of the slaw, all of that encased in a fresh brioche bun. BIG WILLIAM $18 Bacon, fried eggs, Nuremberg sausage, Roma tomato, hash, onion relish Almost the typical big breakfast, it was done to a high standard. The unique selling point here is the onion relish which is absolutely divine with the sweetness of the tomatoes. Big William is there to hit the spot and fill you up... SIGNATURE HOUSE MADE NARNIE $15 This one is a dilemma and I'll tell you why. All the elements are well excuted. Lots of textures but flavour-wise it was too simple and lacked moisture. If we go back to the origins of the naan, it is at its most delicious when dipped or even soaked in curry. Here the narnie was so dry in the mouth, the roast beef despite being very tender did add texture but lacked flavour and sauce. All those factor just made each bite so dry. FISH CROQUETTES, LEMON AIOLI $6 More potato than fish, very nice comfort food. BEER BATTERED CHIPS WITH HOUSE AIOLI $7 Chips were one of the best I ate all year, very crispy with a light aerated batter. Excellent and very addictive as they should be. PEANUT CARAMEL SHAKE $6 This shake is very good, the peanut taste is distinct with the caramel giving that sweetness kick. The most surprising thing is the size of the cup, at $6 only it can easily be shared by two people. BANANA, MEDIJOOL DATE AND WALNUT PRALINE SMOOTHIE $7 For the banana-lovers out there, this is a must. I would return just for this and the chips. Strong and natural tasting smoothie, great with the extra sweetness coming from the dates and extra thickness from the praline. Although I still prefer the Banana shake from Devon Cafe. Conclusion Do you want a high quality brekky/brunch with the luxury of your own table, you might want to give Three Williams a try. I still have to try the French Toast and Salads but overall strong menu that can please everyone and consistent execution makes this place worth revisiting for me. Just not a fan their "narnie" creation. @thesydneynoob
Not what I originally expected, the space is quite large and buzzing. Pretty sure there will always be a line here on the weekend, but I suppose it is the place to be in Redfern. Got a DIY dish because they're not flexible with changes on the weekend. I was actually quite surprised with the small portions because my friend had always instilled in me they serve really large, hearty portions. Had to order on top after it came out because it was disappointingly small. Overall it seemed like relatively standard café food to me but the beans were excellent. Would recommend you try them in a dish or even get them on the side. Constant stream of customers coming in so keeps the place alive, but they also don't hurry you too much to get out so it was a good place to chat for a while.
So on the way to carriageworks for the contemporary art fair, we decided to stop for lunch at three Williams. Best idea. There were a few tables available at 12.15pm on a Saturday - beware that it is a basement so you won't enjoy the sunshine/ light but the space is still quite nice. Service is so friendly, quick and efficient - love that. Oh my god the narnies (15$)...what a beautiful creation ! I had the slow cooked lamb with eggplants and yoghurt. The bread is moist, the lamb and eggplant were perfectly cooked, melting in my mouth...perfect cumin seasoning and fresh rocket for greens. It is absolutely a must try ! The breakfast menu looked really appealing too, notably the french toast if you have a sweet tooth
I was here for a Yelp Elite event. Three Williams café has some funky and unique breakfast choices. Coffee was very good, and the smoothies others had looked tasty. It was a busy, but not too crowded, basement-level space, perfect for an event for the 15-ish of us, and the kind of place that's suitable for lingering if you're on your own. The food: delicious and interesting. There were two dishes to sample: narnies and French toast. A "narnie" is, as it turns out, naan bread wrapped around different fillings. We tried three: prawn and hummus (okay), pork bi bim bap (delicious), and beef brisket with coleslaw (also delicious). If you like a savoury breakfast these are amazing choices. You may think that French toast doesn't need explaining, but it does. Because this French toast was not only soft, plump, and flavourful, it was also breaded in corn flakes, pan-fried, and served with yogurt, fresh berries, maple syrup, and toasted pecans. It had all the gooey yumminess of French toast but with that crunchy outer crust, and the caramel tastes from the toasted nuts. It was decadent and fantastic for those who like to start their day with sweetness. Go here for thoughtful, well-crafted gourmet breakfast options you'll want to linger over.
Dope. This place is DOPE! Outfitted in a warehouse conversion, this place is bustling on the weekends...in a good way. There's plenty of space so the ambience is real cool. Service is great, everyone was super friendly and everything came quickly. I ordered the Bullhorn (I don't even like feta) and my friend ordered the Merchant. I like that they some of the menu items are standard in other places but they put their own spin on them. However, there are these fusion naan sandwiches (which I haven't seen elsewhere) that I am putting on my to eat list. The coffee was on point and props to the barista for the latte art. The menu here is extensive enough that I will definitely be coming back to try the other stuff. Gourmet brekkie done right.
*Came for the coffee and stayed for lunch* On my short list of cafes to try I get to tick it off and recommend away. Having no preconceived ideas about this place going in, I was surprised by the popularity of this cafe on a seemingly quiet end of Elizabeth Street. Being that they are another cafe using Single Origin Roasters coffee, I expected to get a decent coffee, and that's exactly what I got. While the waitress wasn't sure what coffee was their single origin, she quickly found out (and provided awesome service throughout my stay). The Costa Rica long black I ended up ordering was delicious. Quite a bright robust coffee, with hints of fruit and maybe a milk chocolate, it served its purpose well. I then tried the house blend, they use "Paradox" which worked well as a mac. I am sure those needing milk in their coffees will be happy enough. Nearly removed points for latte art in the mac, but I am feeling generous. Speaking of generous, the Korean inspired pulled pork "narnie", which is apparently their signature dish, didn't last long as I inhaled it. Pork was delicious, but could have had more kimchi in it as I couldn't taste it. Overall, I loved this cafe, and while it is a bit out of my way, I am sure I'll be back. Coffee: Single Origin Roasters - "Paradox" Passion: 8/10 Crema: 8/10
Umm have you heard of a Narnie? I like to think that it was named that because something so great could only come from a mystical land like Narnia, whatever the origin...YOU MUST TRY ONE. It is a naan sandwich and the brisket one even comes with chipotle mayo...so just to let that percolate that is delicious naan surrounding tender brisket with savoury creamy chipotle mayo and crisp pickle slices....genius...and I don't just throw that word around for fun! Hungover, sober, hungry....all reasons to try a Narnie. I really like the beef brisket Narnie but really you can't go wrong. One time my housemate and I realised that it was almost cut off time when Three Williams stops serving nannies, AKA sadness o'clock, so we placed an order over the phone and they let us do that which I thought was excellent customer service.
"Would you like to order coffee first?" Asked the wait staff, I said yes please , single origin picollo 1 sugar. Where's the been from I asked? Let me checked! Then he comeback with barista showing Santa Special Creation blend , and I was taking advantage to take a picture right away, it was cool idea! I did order French brioche with berries and maple bacon, well it was rich.. I couldn't even finished my breaky. I would say this hipster place is doing great job on what they do! I would definitely comeback for some breakfast, and would like to try lunch menu
Attended this cafe for a Yelp Elite event and was blown away by the experience. First of all this cafe isn't located amongst a lot of hustle and bustle, it's a delightful warehouse conversion on Elizabeth street in Redfern- parking was a treat this Friday morning. The single origin coffee was beautifully presented and tasted great. The food was incredible! So totally unlike other cafes around, apparently it took some time brainstorming and working out what the signature items would be! We were treated to 2 of them! A sampler of 3 narnies (homemade dough with different fillings - each unique & it would be well worth coming with a few friends so you can taste them all! I didn't think I would be eating prawns at brekkie time but they were incredible). We were then served up the signature French toast which was described as brioche in a custard egg mixture & rolled in cornflakes. It was served with maple syrup, fresh berries & toasted pecans. Now I am usually not a sweet tooth and was sure I wouldn't eat it all but my oh my after a taste I couldn't stop. To top it off the staff were exceptional throughout the whole meal, checking in with us and making sure we were satisfied. Loved the aprons too! Very well presented. This place is truly fantastic! Humble, honest, delicious & worth the visit! Hurry up and get there before it gets so popular you will have to wait hours to be seated.
Three Williams has been on the "Talk of the Town" chart on Urbanspoon for quite some time now, and it seemed like the whole of the Sydney foodie population had eaten there already. Even though their photogenic French toast was very impressive,unfortunately, the overall experience was a hit-and-miss for us.
I found this place after a quick search on my favourite apps for inspiration. The raving reviews got me curious and I'm very glad to say the food didn't disappoint. The coffee was good and the food was better. I had The Merchant: bacon and chili eggs in a brioche bun. It wasn't huge, just on the edge of enough but the great taste makes it more than worth it - love at the first visit :) The Merchant, scrambled eggs with tomato and feta and two coffees cost $36.
Recommended by a friend's friend and decided to come here for brunch after church. My friend who stayed at King Cross arrived here 1/2 hour before I did but after I managed to save a parking spot, we finally got a seat for 5 pax. It was definitely crowded even though the space was considered spacious. Heard the sarnies was good and the toast as well. I tried the Sarnies and the Brioche French toast. For the sarnies, I got the beef one. It had a lot of ingredients in it. The stewed beef brisket was soft and juicy. The ingredients (gherkins) and the condiments (chipotle mayo) on it definitely added flavor to the pita bread which acted like a burger. Definitely a good brunch dish. For the drink, I had super smoothie. It was a cold pressed juice and it was definitely a refreshing juice and filling especially combining them with mains. Servers were friendly and they got to us within seconds after raising our hands (glass of water, bill, utensils, etc). Price wise, for the food portions, it was definitely reasonably good. Parking might be tough as I had to turn to the same road twice before securing a parking spot.

The truffle menu is no joke! Highly recommend trying out Three Williams if you are a truffle fanatic. I will need to go back for their regular in-house menu. As a Canadian in Sydney, this is on my top 5 brunch spots. read more

Loved this spot for a relaxed breakfast before exploring Sydney by foot. It's pretty big, a bit dark, tables all around, and has an espresso bar right in the middle. You can just get coffee to go, but it's a shame not to stay for breakfast! I ordered a cappuccino to drink which was both beautiful and so delicious! One of the best I've had. To eat I had the avocado toast because apparently Aussies invented it...who knew? It was also delicious. I guess it's hard to mess up avocado toast, but the bread was incredible, avocado was perfectly ripe, and I got to assemble it all myself which was fun. Someone next to me was eating some kind of French toast with berries that I will have to try next time. The whole menu sounded amazing. Super friendly servers to boot. Oh and you pay up front at the espresso bar. Highly recommended! read more

First To Review, boom shacka lacka! Ahem. Sorry, that little blue ribbon still gets me excited. In the pants. Ugh, sorry again. I also like Anchorman. Pants party and such, you remember. So this review is off to a terrible start but don't worry, it gets heaps better. See, I was at a friend's for dinner last night and his new girlfriend told me about this ace cafe her friends just opened and showed me some photos of the food she'd eaten that day and I was sold, and was there the next morning. Right between the furniture warehouse and the pole dance studio on Elizabeth St, just past Cleveland St, Three Williams is named after the three founders of Redfern and surrounds, who were all called William (I think I got that right. Which means I probably didn't). The space is this big post-industrial exposed-brick modern-yet-spacious-yet-welcoming cafe, and the food is epic: 'narnie' sandwiches using home made naans, inventive breakfasts, big salads. I had The Merchant: a brekky burger with chilli fried egg, bacon, spicy slaw and ranch on a sweet brioche bun. Sweet baby jeebus. Paired with a smoky strong flat white and some friendly service by dimpled, laid-back waitresses, and we got ourselves a brand new brekky haunt kidlets. Tally ho! read more

It was a freezing rainy Thursday, and I have always wanted to try Three Williams, with my hunger raging it was the perfect day to pop in and I wasn't disappointed. The service was great and the food was delicious. So many yummy choices, I finally opted for he pulled pork Narnie. It was packed full of flavour and tender pulled pork. I could have done with a little less dressing as it was quite sweet. I will be back to try a few other mouth watering options. read more

I feel like I stepped into a hipster wonderland, and I was okay with that. I just felt underdressed and wished I upped my brunch outfit game but oh well. Was unsure if we sat ourselves but the people at the counter sat as. The menu was to die for. Had a difficult time choosing what I wanted. Our server was great. I swear, all of the wait staff were Australian men with black hair tied up in their main buns and dressed in the same white shirts and denim overalls. Oddly enough, it completely worked. Food came in good timing. Inhaled our food. However, it took forever for us to pay our bill for some reason. We were under the impression our server would drop off the bill until 20 minutes later the same guy who sat us saw our perplexed faces and told us we could just pay up front. That would've been some helpful information/nice to know so we weren't looking dumb and wasting our time. I would definitely come back to this place to try their other options. This place feels like home. read more

This was our first meal in Sydney after traveling for 18 hours and it really hit the spot! Really cute cafe/restaurant and staff were super friendly and attentive. I had the chicken & quinoa salad and my boyfriend had the cheeseburger, both were delicious. The fried brussel sprouts in the salad was the winner for me! I also had a long black and it was strong & bold, just the way I like it! read more

When I really like a place ..... I prefer to keep it quiet so it stays hidden from the world ..... that's not the Yelp way ..... so instead I will keep it short and sweet. The experience at 3 Williams is an awesome one ..... you a treated like a friend.... the service & attention to you as a customer way above the normal....... then there is the coffee which is pure heaven ...... and the food ..... wow ....... great selection and taste ...... you will have to try it for yourself ...... don't want to spill all the beans !!! read more
I really don't think you can have enough Williams. Three is certainly on the stingy side. If Williams were readily available, say in a six pack, then I wouldn't need to go to Redfern to get heirloom tomatoes and Serrano ham with two beautifully poached eggs with smoked cheese sauce and avocado (which for once had not been smashed up but simply sliced) ....phew.. long sentence....and a great cup of coffee. read more

4 visits later I still crave and dream about their Brisket Narnie. Really modern fit out with a nice spacious area surrounding the barristers making coffee in the middle. Concrete makes it feel really chic yet the furniture and decor make it inviting. Food is consistent and really tasty- fusion at it's best. Narnie as a vessel for fillings is genius. Yum! Worth travelling for. read more
First visit, I rated this place very highly for the customer service and food. You need to try the Maple cured bacon breakfast, which is essentially a thick pork rasher, cured like bacon in maple with a poached egg and seeded toast. Coffee is much of a muchness, but they do have beer and also a thing which is like a Peanut butter milkshake. I didnt have any trouble getting a table for 4, even though it was decidedly busy and full of inner city wankers and celebs like Michelle Bridges and her Commando BFF. ( I guess that means it's healthy too?) Second visit, I felt like I needed to pull out a copy of the work place sexual harassment guidelines. There was a lot of touchy feely action between the staff, which, at best, was kind of awkward to witness. Staff are attentive to your needs, though it became plain that this kind of efficiency, is a 'hurry up and get out' maneuver, albeit well executed that you might not realise unless you were actively assessing for yelp review purposes. Food great! Awkward sexual tension between staff not so great! Im trying to eat my porky bacon over here. Side note: Lighting is very dim. They have used Ceiling light fixtures as sconces, but that's none of my business. read more

Love the narnies and green super smoothies at this converted warehouse space. They also have nice little tarts and sweet goodies, great kids wall for entertainment. Only problem is that there's a line more often than not on the weekends read more

Reading other reviews of three Williams, I was keen on trying the brekky menu. I'm giving it 3 stars because there were a few down falls, but I definitely would go again and try different things on the menu. We ordered the crispy polenta, which I thought had some interesting flavours which generally isn't for everyone. Roast duck narnie, you'll feel like you've died and went to heaven! So succulent, and the roasted pear was a perfect edition to the overall flavour. Corn fritters, you'll lick the plate dry! The flavours are amazing, very Spanish :) We also had the beer battered chips, best I've tasted in Sydney! Seriously! You have to order these! Pushing our belt sizes, but we just wanted to try the school of prawns (we couldn't finish it). I wouldn't order them again, nothing special. The shakes we tried were the raspberry/ coconut, was way too sour and not very coconutty! And the peanut/caramel shake, it was too milky and the flavour wasn't strong, just too sweet. So with just a few flaws, I would definitely go back! Just not for the shakes. read more

WOW!!!! The food here was absolutely amazing and the service was matched! Gayle made us feel welcomed from the moment we sat down. I had the truffle French toast which was unreal! Others at my table enjoyed The joe and the nacho omelette. I 100% recommend eating an amazing breakfast here!!!! read more

I highly recommend this place for breakfast / brunch. Food was fantastic. I had the mushrooms with egg on toast. Everything tasted really fresh. I also had a banana muffin with Nutella for desert, which was delicious. Staff was very friendly and sold me on the muffin. Great recommendation. read more

Very happy with our first breakfast experience. Food is plentiful, full of flavour & chef quality given it was one of the best corn fitters we've had in a very long time - no stoggy, doughy fritters here. We also ordered the Chilli Merchant, another great choice, although from looking around at other's orders I don't think you could go wrong with anything from their menu. We crossed the harbour to try this spot, which has turned out to be a great choice. Three Williams is now on our favourite list...at the very top! Can't wait now to try their brisket narnie. read more
