Hidden in Balmain, Charlottes Cafe boasts an incredible character! The cafe itself is a tight space, but has a nice decor, lots of natural light and not to mention a view of the city. Warm place to begin your day.
It is important to note that the cafe is a pay at the counter incase you sit down before ordering.
We got an Iced chocolate that was packed with flavour and a coffee on the Campos superior blend. ahhhh my favourite. The service after ordering was quite prompt.
I myself got the marinated grilled chicken breast that came with a generous greek salad. The salad was really nice, and huge pile of chicken for my protein fix.
We also got the Charlotte's Special (An Oldie But a Goodie) and oh boy this was right. A smoked salmon eggs benedict with some great additions which added another element to the dish, including fried capers and red onion. The flavours were amazing and the eggs were cooked perfectly. Overall it was a good experience and one that we would go back for!
There's lots of parking available around the cafe and and lovely place to enjoy your...

When an apple juice was delivered instead of the pineapple juice that was ordered, we were told that it's just the way the pineapple juice comes. It was a freshly squeezed apple juice. No pineapple. Just bizarre to be told to just drink what you're given despite what you ordered. Then when the food came, everything was just dumped on the table. No explanation or attempt to find the right owner.
Secondly, was the food itself. The 2 stars given are both for the poached eggs which were the highlight of the visit and cooked to perfection. I can't say the same for the cold tomato and pumpkin which was cold on one side and hot on the other.
One of the bathrooms was flooded and in a unhygienic state.
Just shocked when all the reviews we've read about this place were good. Not sure what...
