est.1901 — Restaurant in Sydney

We wanted to go to to another place but as it was really crowded we thought we could give this place a shot. The experience was really bad. I think they were really short staffed. The woman had to go inside to make us food herself instead of asking us what the order was. Anyway we ordered Turkish eggs and Breakfast bureger. Burger was fine but the Tirkish eggs was not brought for us (Probably a wrap instead). We really didn't know and started eating. After a while someone came to our table and said: Sorry this is not Turkish eggs and took the wrap away! Without saying sorry or anything else. I was shocked! And then brought us Turkish eggs, we were already full by then. And what was taken from us ended up on someone else's table after a few minutes! I would have recommended to ask. Go like this: Sorry there has been a mistake we brought you the wrong order, Would you like to eat this or should I bring you your Turkish eggs? Simple as that.

If you don't have enough chefs it's not ok to keep people waiting for two small breakfasts. At least hire someone on Saturdays and Sundays. And besides: Turkish eggs do not need that much chili flakes! At least use proper Pull Biber!

Definitely not coming back. If you'd like to wait 40 minutes for breakfast go here.

PS: How the owner responds to the reviews...

DO NOT COME HERE !

After being told there'd be an hour wait at the nearby Happyfield, my wife and I decided to search for a quicker breakfast. Boy, were we wrong. We waited an HOUR for our Turkish eggs and pancakes. It definitely felt like we had been waiting there since 1901. The coffee we ordered at the very start took about thirty minutes for what was a pretty middling cappuccino & latte. (I usually wouldn't care about an overly frothed latte, but it took thirty minutes of pissing about to arrive). The pancakes I ordered were served without the bacon, so I had to ask for it to be given to me. What was listed on the menu was pancakes with maple syrup. I was given honey. This is not to say the food was particularly bad, it was fine. But it was hard to enjoy anything after an hour. We ate it all within 5 minutes and left.

I wouldn't be as bothered if it wasn't painfully unbusy in there; I counted about 12 empty seats inside the café. Our server disappeared into the kitchen so can only guess there was some kind of disaster going on.

The staff themselves seemed kind, there's just some kind of critical service error. Did the chef walk out or something?

Looking for some...

OMG

This place keeps impressing me.

Stefania and Britney greet you with such warmth, you feel like you are visiting family that you haven't seen for a while.

The coffee is 5 stars with the full range of options for the fussy foodies like me.

This morning, as is our arrangement, Britney selected my breakfast. Usually she picks the Sour Dough Toast with honey or peanut butter, but this morning Britney selected the Hush Pup Bowl for my Friday Morning. Stef whipped it up in no time and it was divine. Small corn fritters (hush puppies? you learn something new each day) on a fresh salad base, avocado, dill yoghurt and radish slices for a little kick. I just wanted more...

I can not recommend this...
