Paragon — Restaurant in Sydney

I love love love this café 😍

Very close to Katoomba train station only a short 5-minute walk!

Amazing customer service, the lady was so friendly! So attentive & helpful, as she knew I was on holidays from Sydney! She recommended different places to go and try! As I told her I was on holidays for food exploring 😍 nom nom is what I am good at 😂

This was the first stop, and I was so happy! The interior of the café was gorgeous and classy, it had a very classy historic feel to it!

I ordered a strong soy latte, and it was delicious, strong and creamy! Just the way I like it! ☕️

I also ordered a cheese and ham toastie, super cheesy and crispy! All I can say is Yum!! It’s a nice simple and delicious breakfast! Loved it!!

Casual quiet ambience, very clean as well & cosy!

I would totally rock up to this place again one day !!! Oh, OMG the chocolate on display looked amazing!!! Next time I will grab a box to take home!!

This café is highly recommended!! Friendly and attentive staff and the food was amazing!!!

Are you searching for delicious coffee in the mountain!? Try this cafe ASAP 🥰

I spent...

This place has been here forever; however, it doesn't really pay to be rude to visitors, whether you think they'll come back or not.

The food is nice, the setting is great, but throwing dishes onto the table, ignoring people and telling them it's 'not their turn to order' doesn't win friends. We watched one group walk out, rather than stay, after some rather impolite service.

On the food front, for a place that makes its own chocolate, it's inexplicable for the hot chocolate drink to be made from powdered chocolate. And the cream with the scones isn't really much good - thin whipped cream.

Overall, given there are so many places to eat in Katoomba, walk in have a look at the decor and go somewhere...

This place should be stunning - and is, in a rough-around-the-edges way - but the shine's gone off. There's still so much beauty in the architecture - make sure you go through to the back to see the theatre space and all the rest of it; it's amazing - but nothing's kept up all that well. Things are haphazardly lying around and not displayed well; dirty dishes were stacked up on a counter; signs are frayed on the corners... it doesn't spoil the experience but what could be a sublime experience is mainly a wistful one that makes you wonder what it COULD be like. The confectionery is very nice (though overpriced) and the staff lovely and friendly. With a little more effort this place...
