No velvet red stippled walls or recycled organic this and that or new age music playing through someone's iPod dock, just a laid back little cafe with decent coffee and enjoyable meals that don't cost a fortune. Recommended.

The coffee was ok but the rest of the food was a little bland or 'pre cooked'. It is a nice environment but if you picnic would have been even nicer. You can tell from the photos a lot of the items were just a preheat?

Located right in the middle of the park near the Orchard Park picnic area, this cafe is housed in a classic building that is pretty hard to miss. The size of it indicates just how busy it must get during the holidays. And rightly so. The breaky I had here was awesome. Ordering the big breaky, it was exactly that. The mass of bacon I had on my plate puts most Sydney cafes to shame. Not only that, the bacon was cooked to order, piping hot and really delicious. The eggs were perfectly runny, and the hash brown was replaced with chips (which worked perfectly, especially if you like dipping them in your eggs...). My expectations for the coffee were pretty low going in. Normally when you come this far out of town, the coffee level drops significantly. Not so this time. While the crema was not fantastic, the quantity of milk was perfect. *Thumbs up* Only thing to be aware of is that parking in the park is $11 for a full day pass. While still quite reasonable, it can add to the total cost of a trip out. But why not drop on down and make a day of it. Plenty of things to keep yourself occupied in the park.

Hunting around for decent coffee North of Hornsby is tough. There are few and far between cafes,…read morelet alone decent ones. So in the search, I came across Berowra Waters Garden House Cafe, and so set off to find it. Problem was the only address was Lot 1 Berowra Waters Road, so I found the Road and just started driving.... and driving.... and twisting and turning.... until finally I got to the ferry at Berowa Waters. Only issue was that I could not see Berowra Waters Garden House Cafe. I could however see a coffee sign for the Relaxation Boat Hire, so figured... as long as I was here.... why Not. :-) It turns out that they have only just bought a 2nd hand coffee cart, which gets maintained and supplied by some company (they were not sure of the details). In any case, while they have very little experience making coffee, walking them through the steps to make what it was I wanted resulted in a really good coffee. In their favour is an excellent grinder, a great coffee machine, and apparently some very decent beans. While words like ristretto and macchiato will undoubtedly get you a blank stare for your effort, the friendly staff here are extremely friendly, Now here is where it gets interesting though. Given the popularity of this coffee stand, they are looking at expanding it into a proper little cafe. While this is going to be a work in progress, and is unlikely to be finished until mid-2012, it might be worth keeping an eye on. This is also an important step forward given that the only other coffee currently available is from the Berowra Waters Fish Cafe on the other side of the ferry. It appears I am not the only one who does not enjoy coffee from there. In any case, the guys here are really nice people, so even if you ar just waiting for the ferry, why not grab a quick cup and maybe a cookie... :-) Cafe Summary ------------------------ Passion for Coffee - 7/10 Coffee beans - (Unsure) Crema (1=burnt, 10=velvet) - 7/10 Special coffees avail? - N/A
