Backstreet Brew — Restaurant in Sydney

A rainy day win: friendly, fast, and genuinely good food

We came here this past Saturday during a rainy day and were lucky they were able to take a same-day booking for a party of six (2 children). Even though we were seated outside to accommodate our group, the setup was warm, dry, and surprisingly perfect given the weather.

Service was quick and super friendly across the board. The food was great — fresh, tasty, and came out fast. We ended up lingering a little longer and never felt rushed, which was really appreciated.

Parking could be tricky as the place gets busy, but we found a spot on the first go. There was a steady queue for takeaway and coffee the entire time, which says a lot about how popular (and good) this place is.

Would absolutely come back to try more...

Really nice spot right by the small collection of shops on Acacia Road.

The coffee is fantastic, with an incredible taste and some excellent latte art if you stay in. If you takeaway, it's VERY hot, but after cooling down still had a perfect taste so I guess I can't complain!

Food was good, and very reasonably priced. Classic Australian brunch food all round, with good options for the kids. There are also lots of baked goods available though we didn't get to try them.

There are a few tables inside, as well as covered tables outside (with optional plastic sheeting and overhead heaters for when it's cold). There's also loads of highchairs, and ample parking...

Unfortunately the worst breakfast I’ve ever had. I ordered the scrambled eggs with chili and bacon. The eggs came very runny / watery across the plate, and the chili on top was definitely from a jar. I was expecting fresh chili and more of a chili oil situation, but this was just minced chili mixed with sugar.

The whole dish was very sweet and sugary as well, which just didn’t make sense for a savoury breakfast option. For $23, it was very disappointing and I wouldn’t come back...
