The Crossroads Cafe & Catering — Restaurant in Sydney

This place was the biggest disappointment.

Initially attracted by the 4.8 star rating at the time, me and my 5 friends came here for some toasties, breakfast wraps and coffee on our way out of town.

The food cabinet was miserable, everything looking like it had come to the end of its life cycle…and if looks weren’t convincing enough, the taste of the food and what it did to our stomachs confirmed all the suspicions. I got the Greek halloumi toasty and it was disgusting. Foul tasting pesto and half soggy bread. My friend got the chicken wrap and it gave him an upset stomach for the next 2 hours - thank God he spat half of it out. My other friend got a chicken and cheese sandwich which has given her food aversion and my other friend got a banana smoothie which was nothing more than stale frozen banana sludge mixed with ice cream.

Honestly, to the owners of this place do better. Upskill, go visit other cafes, maybe do less offerings and do it better, eat your own food?!

The atmosphere can only be described as “it feels like it was originally started by two young enthusiastic business partners, who had high hopes and an eye for designer Edison light bulbs and a friend who could paint a mural but quickly realized there wasn’t enough foot traffic in the area and quickly defaulted on their loan repayments and the local grandmother and son type pair now working in there have taken over and could give two...

As a polar bear 🐻‍❄️ who desperately hides from all heat I once questioned the worthiness of such a move of going out to this hidden gem 💎 on a scorching day as hot 🥵 as 32 degrees Celsius. However, the amazing food 🥘 and warm service have vindicated my decision. There you go. Industrial 🏭 lunchbox, what an undeniable landmark in the industrial corner of St Peter’s. For as little as $10.50 on Groupon you get to enjoy 😉 a large main which in this case a frittata quiche with salad 🥗 in balsamic dressing. Wash 🧽 down the dry content with either chilled water 💦 or a large latte. And for the first time among my many visits I was given the chance to choose my dessert 🍮. How blissful! Ordered an almond croissant 🥐. Such beautiful food 🥘 and drink 🍹 made this experience highly unforgettable. I always say a restaurant review is not possible without commenting on the service as the most beautiful 🤩 food 🥘 can be ruined by the ugliest service. John the owner is such a likable and friendly fellow. Humble, helpful and down to earth 🌍 are all his portraits. I would probably rank him as one of my top three business 👩‍💼 owners in my life. This proud 🥲 family business 👩‍💼 has made significant success all because of its bond. Well done 👍. Industrial Lunchbox you deserve...

I am surprised to see this place to see this place has a 4.8 rating. Donut was heated up to disguise the fact that when it cooled down it was hard as rock. This thing had to be at least a few days old. Banana bread will be toasted but served without butter. Food is grossly overpriced for what you get. Coffee is on par with everything else. I always give a place a second chance if the first time was disappointing, but the donut today on my second visit was really quite ridiculous. Also $4 for a cupcake the size of my thumb is crazy.

Only come here if you love flushing money down the toilet and eating what goes...
