Thanks Alby L. for this recommendation. What a cute little cafe in the middle of quite a run down…read morequiet street. They have such interesting items on the menu and with monthly specials that give you a reason to come back for more. On my first visit I tried the Chilli Bacon spaghetti: 2 poached eggs, bacon, kale, dried chilli, cashew croutons & Parmesan Boy you knew when they were cooking your dish. Definitely time to cough up some chilli smell. So I always tend to do this to myself and order a pasta dish thinking they all come with sauce but this was the oil based kinda of spaghetti which was a bit disappointing. It did taste pretty good though but was a monsterous size and topped with 2 runny eggs. Mmmm so good but I was stuffed from it. On the second visit I tried the Green Curry Chicken Burger and the special of the month, Sriracha-Honey Fried chicken, Parmesan waffles, greens & beetroot purée. The Green Curry Chicken Burger tastes exactly as it sounds but was very tasty. The waffles probably weren't parmesany enough for me to notice and while the chicken was nice I couldn't really taste any sriracha which was a bit disappointing. If you live in the area I noticed they have buy 6 coffees get one free which is a pretty sweet deal too. Anyway I can't wait to return back to this place and try out more of their awesome menu!

Little Alley Cafe is a small hidden gem that shouldn't be missed. We have been here numerous times…read morefor breakfast since moving to the area, and the food is consistently delicious and the staff are all incredibly friendly. I recommend the pitaya bowl personally, as it's presentation and cool refreshing taste are something that the more bouji cafes of inner Sydney should aspire to. I could not recommend Little Alley Cafe highly enough, and encourage anybody to give this wonderful meeting place a try. You will not be disappointed!

Very busy cafe in Peakhurst and if you can find parking I recommend heading here for brunch!…read more I visited this cafe for the first time with 3 girlfriends and a baby (highchairs available) and we were all very impressed with the coffees, menu and decor. I chose the Leg Ham w/ Eggs Benedict which was really tasty. The leg ham was delicious and plentiful with 2 perfectly poached eggs and a great Hollandaise sauce which was surprisingly not overfilling. There were also finely cut pieces of crunchy sweet potato on top giving it another element and texture. My meal and small soy coffee came to $21 which I thought was reasonable and I didn't leave feeling full and tired (I sound like an 80 yo woman). The service was a little slow and sloppy at times but the waitresses were very friendly which made up for it and they also provided a split bill service which is always a bonus for groups.

Undeniable the BESTEST coffee in Hurstville. Absolutely hands and knees down…read more They have a pretty cool interior made from wood with a funky graffiti artwork at the back wall as a feature. I'm also guessing they call themselves 18 grams because each double shot of coffee is precisely 18 grams? You know if a place is confident with their coffee if they serve it unconventionally. What I mean here is styles you won't get at a standard cafe. For example, cold drip, siphon etc... This place has everything. They also know some cool finishing touches that gets people coming back for more. During launch they gave out free coffee - a full coffee card. Being the snobby me I declined the card (I actually didn't know what they were giving out to be honest ...). But when I went there the first time they gave me a loyalty card with the first row all stamped meaning my next coffee was on them! Awesomeness #1. I love cookies and every coffee has a cookie on it! Awesomeness #2 ... I was sold. And what's Awesomeness #3? Their coffee :)

Canterbury Bakehouse is a 24 hour cafe situated in Canterbury Leagues Club…read more There are a range of drinks including juices, loaded shakes, coffees and alcoholic beverages. I tried the Love Potion Juice and some delicious loaded shakes. Food wise, there are different meals including light meals to share like antipasto, salt and pepper squid, Korean fried chicken wings, sweet potato fries and small cakes. For more substantial meals, I tried the steak sandwich, fish tacos and corn fritters. Beautifully presented and there really is something for everyone. It offers free wi fi in a comfortable setting that you can conduct business or study whilst grabbing a bite to eat. Recommended if in the area. The desserts are a standout!

Went here with my husband for some Saturday chill time. This place just opened up a few weeks ago,…read moreso we thought we'd try it out. It's a very nice place :) The decor is kind of beachy in theme, and the inside is pretty spacious. We had no trouble popping out the drawing supplies (for me) and math books (for him) to relax with some coffee and food while we work on our hobbies; we weren't cramped at all with all that stuff out. They also have a couple tables outside on the street if you want to enjoy the fresh air. I have to say, the staff were so great. It seems like it's a family-run business, and you can tell they've really got their hearts in it. They were super friendly and really genuine, and very helpful when it came to choosing menu items. I found the service to be quite good in general. Very pleasant and helpful. The food & drinks were good, too ^_^ We had some empanadas, with chorizo and beef fillings (respectively) and they were really good - especially the chorizo one. We also had some carrot cake with coffee icing, and it was so tasty! That icing was delicious, especially. I had a butterscotch latte and my husband had a flat white, and while I wouldn't say it's the *best* coffee I've had, it *was* pretty good. They make the food there themselves, which is pretty cool. Mainly the only area I saw for improvement was that the menu didn't list all the items available, so it was a little confusing trying to pick what you wanna eat, cos some stuff on display didn't have labels or pricing, and they weren't on the big chalkboard menu. So yeah, that could probably be improved. It'd be nice if they offered things like chai lattes or matcha tea lattes, as well. I suppose it's possible that they do and they just weren't on the menu :P So yeah, this place is really cute, with friendly staff and good food and coffee. I know we'll be going back again for sure, and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good place to chill & enjoy some nice food & drinks :)

I had a vegetarian omelette which was very tasty. It came with zucchini and was lovely. The dishes and cups were lovely and dainty. Service was also quick and checked on us to make sure all was fine. Couple of things I didn't enjoy was the coffee. Not sure of the brand but I found it strong but that's my opinion as you may love the coffee. The other is that they advertise an Aussie breakfast but with no bacon. I found a lot of the cafes in Bankstown do not serve bacon.

Glacage is a venue that would be aptly described as a "hidden gem". Minimal signage, and located at…read morethe back of a residential block beside a Thai Restaurant, you'd have to know it was there to visit. It was, and is, a very busy place. Therefore, it has a good name to it in the community and surrounds. We can certainly see why. Everything was absolutely on point. The space is rustic, wooden panelled walls and wooden tables, some with mosaic tiles. Seats are made plush with cushions and the space is decorated with bird cages and bunches upon bunches of flowers. This styling makes it feel homely and comfortable. The space is large, with a few seated spaces, so you could certainly take a group there. Order at the counter, and you can select from the wide menu or something small (and sweet from the glassed display shelf). The menu is superb and we could have ordered so many things - healthy açai bowls, to eggs benny, brekkie boards, French toast or waffles, it's a shame we could only fit three things in our bellies! Glacage has three brekkie boards to choose from: the Glacage, Aussie and Mediterranean. We went for the Mediterranean - a generous service of chorizo, haloumi, mushroom, eggs, olives and more! A healthy brekkie that is certainly possible to share. Sautéed mushrooms on toasted sourdough, with truffled mayonnaise, steamed asparagus, and crunchy poached eggs, topped with micro herbs. The mayo was divine and we really enjoyed the truffle flavour to the dish. We would 100% order this time and time again. We also couldn't go past the strawberry cheesecake waffles for a sweet choice to end the meal. The crunchy waffles were topped with and a granola crumb. A must order for those with a sweet tooth. Coffee by St Ali Coffee Roaster, fresh juices, smoothies and more, you will find a drink to suit your meal. We went for a coffee and chai which were both lovely blends. The staff are extremely knowledgeable, friendly and hospitable, and you will feel very welcome here. Add it to your list of places to visit soon!

Seating: Inside seating plenty of tables. Great for groups both small and large. Room for about 50 people. Vibes: Penshurst is a lovely area. It's proximal to the Royal National Park and to the city! The spot itself is a balance of a neighborly area but also surrounded by other businesses. The place is pretty nice. Very artsy with plants and ornaments. The news station is playing in the background if you're into that stuff. Great family-friendly place or casual place to catch up with a friend or get work done. FOOD: Flat White Coffee (Recommend) A signature Australian drink. Espresso, water, and microfoam milk to top it off. It was a simple drink with an excellent earthy quick and a mildly creamy and sweet touch with the foam. Salt and Pepper Squid Salad (Recommend) Another local dish and it was delicious. A good amount of squid was well-battered and crunchy. Pretty salty and not too peppery. The salad and vinegar dressing had a nice touch, and the onions provided a nice kick. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Chris was great! He was a helpful and friendly dude. TL; DR OVERALL: 5 Stars. Awesome! This place brought a pleasant first impression. I enjoyed the wide menu range, the good food, and the reasonable prices. I do hope to come back here again during my stay. The food is reliable and I'm curious to try more items on their food menu. TIPS: * Well-rounded place for breakfast, lunch, and dessert!
