Absolutely stunning. The staff are super friendly, the coffee is perfect, and the atmosphere is bang on. It feels busy without you being rushed, not overly loud so you can enjoy a conversation, and the food is phenomenal. Highly recommend the beef brisket waffles and the lychee soda. One of Sydney's best little gems.

Had a filter coffee which tasted great as well as the brisket and waffle which was just average, but good. Service was good, although the coordination could be better as I only got my coffee after I was finished with my meal. Prices are quite high, however, especially in comparison to the amount of food you get.

Quaint little place that's also home to Tuxedo Bar. Having a driveway right through the middle of the restaurant is a new experience for me =p Their Cuban was my favourite by far. It is such a perfect balance of delicious. Ham, pork belly mustard mmmm so good we shared 2! Chicken burger was good. The batter was an interesting combination of spices that was so familiar and yet I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Brisket for the waffles was very well done and the waffle was (for me) thankfully not too sweet. The spice was a pleasant little kicker too

Serving you a side of gluttony for breakfast but well worth the calories. Perhaps this place is better suited for lunch, but I'm not gonna say no to that beef brisket and waffles with chilli butter. Attentive staff. Always good to see staff smiling and laughing with each other. Really brings the place together.

New(ish) hipster coffee shop / bar / restaurant.. Great fit out with a bunch of eclectic touches like golf clubs in the old lift area and a pool table on one side of the room. Coffees were quite nice but on the pricier side even for the CBD. Haven't tried the food but what passed our table looked amazing and well worth checking out.

Tucked off an alley near Circular Quay, in Sydney's CBD, is this cute cafe that moonlights as a trendy bar/club after sunset. We walked passed it before realising that a random opening in the brick facade was exactly where we needed to go. Walking in, we were greeted by friendly staff and seated in a dimly lit room with exposed brick, large exposed vents. It was a little bit warm on the inside, and we weren't sure if the vents were operating, or their was any aircon - the warehouse style cafe definitely absorbs a bit of heat. Menu: 9/10 I love the creative flavours, and the concise nature. KCS aims to make a small number of menu items, amazing. Food: 8/10 To me the John Mclane needed something more, but I still really enjoyed the food overall. Service: 10/10 Great service all round! Ambiance: 7/10 The space is a bit confusing since you can see the curtains and bits and bobs used for the club at night - it breaks the space up a little. Value for money: 7/10 The pancake was sure fire worth it, but I think a little more on our other plate would have been amazing. Overall: 8/10

We decided to grab a quick breakfast here before heading over to Taronga zoo for a day of fun. This beautiful little diner has options for everyone with hearty choices like the delicious waffle with brisket which blew my mind. The candied PB and J sandwich was the highlight of the meal and I can't wait to go back and grab some dinner.

It's one of those cafes that look hip. It's industrial and very dark inside. It looks like it's in a reno site. The service was friendly but the service was so slow. We waited about 44 mins. The food was a disappointment. My Stormin Norman has a nicely cooked egg but the toast was so hard and slightly burnt. The avocado tasted funky. The other orders weren't that good either. The pork in the Cuban sandwich was tough and dry. The saving grace was the coffee. It was good. Sadly not enough to make up for the sub par brunch experience. Definitely too pricey for what you get.
