Came here for breakfast and I was amazed. I got the bolo sandwich and it was delicious! Also the BEST cold brew I've ever had. The cherry on top is the staff- Hanna is so sweet and has great customer service. Such a cute cafe! If you're ever in the area you need to go to Sydney!

I ordered an iced vanilla matcha with blueberry per the baristas request. The drink tasted horrible (very watery) and there were about 5 pieces of ice in the cup. The service and workers were nice though.

so many things wrong with my visit. i'm vietnamese, so i was super excited to try the vietnamese coffee. DO NOT GET THE VIETNAMESE COFFEE. it was quite literally the farthest thing from vietnamese coffee i had ever had in my life (not sweet, clumpy, i'm not even sure if they used standard ingredients). i also got the classic breakfast sandwich--not sure if it was just an off day, but it seemed like they were allergic to salt (aka, it had no flavor). i finished the sandwich though, purely because i was hungry, but in essence, it was just croissant, eggs, and a slice of cheese--none of which was seasoned. overall the best thing i had there though ! ADDITIONALLY, possibly the worst part of the meal was the breakfast yogurt bowl i bought. the raspberries were MOLDY, i had to double check with my eyes !! i brought it back and all they told me was "oh sorry about that, raspberries go bad sooo fast!" keep in mind, i was there in the morning for breakfast, so i imagine they just never threw out the food overnight. they gave me a new yogurt bowl (no refund apparently) and i tried it...it wasn't even that good. the yogurt itself was wayyy too thick (almost reminiscent of cream cheese?). on its own, the yogurt was nasty, but i imagine it would taste fine on a bagel. anyways, i bought 3 things from the sydney cafe, and all of it was bad. did i choose the wrong things to order or is it all bad? idk ! but i will not be back.

I have wanted to try Sydney for a long time, but never had a good opportunity. I ended up going to the location on Exchange Street on a quiet Sunday morning and I'm so happy I did. They had a good number of options on the menu. I ordered a chocolate raspberry latte and my boyfriend ordered a matcha latte. I also ordered a classic breakfast sandwich (bacon, egg, and cheese) on a croissant and he ordered the bold breakfast sandwich while came on a bolo roll. We really enjoyed our food, drinks, and the crisp, clean ambiance in the restaurant. The waitstaff were super friendly and brought our food out to our table. My only complaint is that there really isn't great parking options for the Exchange Street location - which obviously isn't the restaurant's fault! It was really convenient for the people staying in the hotel next door, but for locals, parking wasn't ideal. We snuck into the lot across the street since no one was around, but I imagine during more busy times that would most likely be a pay to park lot. I hope to try the location on Thayer street, as there is more street parking available in that area!

Food was amazing. I got the avocado toast and macaroons were DELICIOUS! I also got the matcha iced and that was amazing.The customer service is great as well, they will help you out for any inconvenience. I forgot to ask the two ladies working Sunday afternoon their names because they were lovely. They also bring your food to the table, didn’t know that, but I loved it.Atmosphere is beautiful, very aesthetically pleasing. Also, food presentation is fancy!!Overall 10/10!

We got two of the winter specials. I had the hot chocolate and he had the latte. Service was fast and kind. Space was open and warm.
Excellent place for a coffee and light breakfast or lunch.

A nice breakfast, but the experience is lowered a lot by watching the amount of disposable items the food and drink are served in. Despite having ceramic cups piled on the coffee machine, everyone in the cafe was handed drinks in disposable cups - and with plastic lids that were removed by customers right away. I received the same, despite it being clear I was eating in, as evidenced by the fact I was served my meal on a ceramic plate.

Croissant was dry. Coffee was average. Kind of nice atmosphere but overall sterile taste in decor. Not really communicating the Australian vibe they're going for.
