Avenue Road Cafe Mosman — Restaurant in Sydney

Located just off Mosman Village this cafe is popular with the locals and is a great spot for breakfast or lunch. There is indoor and outdoor seating but generally just grab a spot where you can! If you are indoors you will most certainly notice the striking light feature made up of colourful mismatched light fittings and outside you get to people watch - win/win!

The breakfast menu has something for everyone and so we went with the house favourites. The Ave Benedict is unique at this cafe served with crispy duck & cauliflower quince cous cous on sourdough with poached egg, apple cider hollandaise and dukkah. This dish is both beautiful and delicious. The crispy duck was a pleasant surprise on the eggs Benedict which gave it a richer taste without being overly sweet. The palak eggs come with a generous amount of lamb served with tomato, spinach, feta and plenty of cashew nuts (which give it a nice crunch). This dish tastes nothing like your shakshuka options that you see on most menus however it is warming and filling. We also ordered the raspberry and coconut bread which was served with a side of cashew butter - the bread was thick cut and delicious - make sure that you get it toasted!

Even if you are not grabbing some brunch, ordering a coffee is an absolute must as you will be treated to some of the best and creative coffee art around - whether it's a few fish or a bear you are sure to find something designed by the barista in your usual coffee order.

The lunch menu looks equally enticing with options such as garlic prawn linguine, southern fried chicken burger and BBQ duck pancakes this cafe is busy all day long.

If you are in the area head down Avenue Road and let the friendly staff look after you as you sit back and enjoy some delicious brunch options and gaze at the...

Mosman Village is abuzz with people on the weekend having been out for a walk with their dogs or families after their children's sporting match. Turn off the main strip into Avenue Road to this cafe and you won't be disappointed. Outside seating and a number of tables and couches inside. We sat in the corner of this cafe and were very comfortable, watching the crowds go by. The cafe was consistently busy but service was very efficient. The menu has typical brunch options like eggs, pancakes, bircher, banana bread and omelettes but also specials that are super interesting. The cafe has Indian and Thai inspiration and as such the foods boast these features. We ordered the palak eggs; like a baked eggs, but the bowl had slow cooked lamb and beans in a spiced cherry tomato sauce with spinach, feta, nuts and gremlolata, topped with poached eggs and two slices of toast. Nice flavours and a generous portion, different to your typical baked eggs. I ordered 'The Avenue Benedict' - Sourdough topped with crispy duck (which was delicious!!) and quince cauliflower couscous, apple cider vinegar hollandajse and poached eggs, well cooked, yolk running out as it should. We got coffees (double roasters) and the most beautiful latte art - fish!! Love it! I also had a mint, pineapple and apple juice which was really nice and fresh. I had briefly mentioned it was my husbands birthday and the lovely staff brought out a very fresh and tasty apple and berry muffin and a side of ice cream. The waitress even sang happy birthday!! I had an amazing caramel slice too. This is a great cafe that I highly recommend. The staff were extremely nice and a really comfortable cafe to enjoy...

I finally took the time to visit this local cafe/eatery. I've had home delivery from here and it was always good. The kitchen was closed, it was 3.30pm on a saturday, but desserts were still available. My friend ordered an orange juice which had something floating in it, but he took it well and fished it out and tried to drink some of it. I ordered a pot of tea which arrived in a lovely pot with a side of milk. The tea, presumably black tea, English Breakfast I was told, was as weak as it was tepid. I know coffee is their thing, being a cafe, but it isn't hard to put the right amount of loose leaf tea into a pot (if you fill it with warm water and prewarm it the tea stays warmer for longer), pour in boiling water and hand it to me with a strainer. As disappointed as I was with my tea, the staff were lovely, and stayed open for an extra 10 minutes before kicking us out at 4.10pm so I could have some more cold weak tea and finish our conversation. I love the decor, the people are friendly, parking was easy, but they do need to learn to make decent tea for us weirdos who don't drink coffee and also check the beverages don't have black floaty things in it...
