Filter Cafe — Restaurant in Sydney

A great local spot in Mortdale for delicious food and coffee.

Food ordered: Breakfast burrito. Very filled and fresh. I enjoyed all the ingredients in this one except for the big lettuce leaves. Would have preferred more bacon instead! But the Mayo sauce was really good. And can’t go wrong with a crispy hash brown.

Açai bowl. This was huge! Great value for money and really tasty. I don’t usually eat smoothie bowls but this was eaten down to scraping the bowl. Awesome combo of flavour. Pleasantly surprised!

Coffee: Filter coffee and oat FW. I don’t really like campos but they do a good job with it here compared to most cafes. Locals seem to like it and that’s what’s important!

Ambience: It’s busy come out of lockdowns. The staff seemed a. It distracted and missed a few of our questions. The space hasn’t changed for years since I last stopped in for a coffee. But overall friendly and getting the job done. The food really brought the top rating here.

Definitely my go to cafe when...

We popped in to the Filter Cafe in Mortdale this afternoon for a late lunch. We were offered drinks to start and then the host offered us menus then also explained the specials which were on offer. I had to run with the fresh croissant served with scrambled eggs resting upon pulled pork. The combination with the soft buttery sweetness with the pork and eggs, with a beautiful yet light chutney sauce and asparagus was absolutely amazing and definitely a must try! The food selection offered at the Filter has a wide range which covers not only vegetarian and gluten free, but the menu well caters for those looking at good healthy dietary options as well. We love coming here as the atmosphere is always calm and relaxing, with an upbeat soft tune playing in the background and the staff are always so friendly and helpful. The meals and snacks are tasteful and delicious and I highly recommend a...

Normally come here on weekdays and everything is good. However today’s Sunday, came with friends and very unhappy. Service is bad, frequently came to our table for collecting dishes and while I was just drinking water, the waitress was about to take my half full plate away?! Also, the portion of food were small comparing to the weekdays! The crepes and the granola were just like a kid’s size… it’s definitely not enough for an adult. We pointed this out to the staff and he did not want to even communicate with us just said “All good” then gone… very very disappointing...
