The Northern Bean Willoughby — Restaurant in Sydney

Don't let the daggy exterior signage or menus fool you, these is a top notch café with above average food and above average service, as you can tell from the 4.8 star rating. We went at 9.30 on a Sunday and I was shocked by how quiet dine in was. You'll definitely get a seat. Very convenient parking right out the front on weekends, when it's not a clearway. On weekday peak, park around the corner or even at the rear. Very clean toilet, though a long wander through an uncovered alleyway to get there though, so would be unpleasant if raining or dark. Very happy with my chai brewed on almond milk, served in a pot from a tear bag and powder - surprisingly good tasting considering they don't have sticky chai - I found this comparable. We found some of the menu items novel - French toast made from a croissant! Omelet (sic) served open more like a pizza!

Cafe interior up to date and comfortable.

Fully able to discuss menu items and special requirements in detail, and accommodate our request to bring out items at different times. (I find it stressful elsewhere if they don't make me feel confident they've understood my allergies or requests and I'm left wondering. None of that...

if you aint looking to spend a lot for a meal dont go there. i went twice both time disappointed about the size and the price. the reviews are so unrealistic but i guess different people with different size wallets. (very small) steak sandwich with a bottle of water cost me 20$. my expectations was one steak of scotch fillet as wiritten down on menu...it aint scotch fillet in that sandwich! the place and the staff are very nice tho and they got comfy chairs. if yall just make your meals bigger clients would be happier! 20$ im still hungry but with onion taste in my...

I have visited this cafe a lot recently and the owner is extremely rude.

Possibly to many early mornings.

He even threatened to call the police on me when I questioned his attitude.

He even continued to argue in front of the customers.

I went to the cafe on the corner called the “Little Giant Roasters” and they were the complete opposite with better coffee and 5 star service as I was even offered a free muffin.

Won’t be going back to this place because why should I support his business when he doesn’t know how to treat his...
