Anonymous Bar and Cafe

This is a cosy small bar with a wonderful selection of natural wines from PnV wine merchants, beer from Mountain Culture Beer Co and mocktails. Take a seat by the window for some people watching, or maybe sit at the back to admire the liquor selection and wall of portraits. Pared back interiors and a selection of food that I hope to try on my next visit. Staff are friendly and happy to advise. If you're after a tipple before or after dinner, or looking to catch up over a drink, this is it. Support your local! Cheers!

Love this cafe - this was the second time we have stopped here while travelling. They have a nice menu and a good vegetarian selection. Coffee is great too. We had the french toast and soda bread last time, this time coffee and croissants. YUM!

Extremely friendly staff. Our waiter kindly halved our wine in two glasses as we were sharing our drink. Very good selection of wine, and a cosy interior. Although could use a bit more decor to bring out the personality of the place.

Absolutely deserves the high rating this place has. My mother and me had a fantastic lunch here. I had the beetroot burger and my mom had the special. Both fantastic. Would absolutely recommend when someone is traveling through blue mountains or staying in the area.

Known for their well-made Campos coffee, Anonymous is a little Blackheath café that began back in 2012. In 2016, the team expanded to a second venue, Synonymous, located in nearby Medlow Bath just a short walk from the famous Hydro Majestic Hotel. With an emphasis on using locally grown, seasonal produce, and making their own bread, pickles and relishes, both venues represent good spots to break a journey across the Blue Mountains if you like eating honest, tasty food.The interior at Anonymous is modest and functional. Shelves constructed with repurposed wood are lined with colourful pickle jars, illustrating their make-everything-in-house ethos. The items inside these jars are put to excellent effect on the Anonymous Mixed Plate ($20), which comes with three different condiments – a beetroot relish, a fig condiment that's perfect for cheese, and a lovely mixed curry pickle that’s sour and compelling. Consume them with three different meats – thick slices of house-corned beef, a whirl of prosciutto and carved leg ham. You'll also find three cheeses - a farmhouse Cheddar, a creamy, tangy blue cheese and a slightly less exciting brie. The plate is rounded out by a beetroot-cured boiled egg, springy mixed leaves, lightly pickled julienned carrot, a mound of pickled cucumber slices, and lightly toasted, buttered fig and caraway soda bread. It’s a wonderful lunch grazing plate that showcases great produce for a reasonable price, with more food on it than I could eat.Using the same palate of ingredients – the key to a successful, small café menu – the Reuben Toastie ($18.50) takes the slow-cooked corned beef, creamy American cheddar and pickles, and teams them with cabbage ‘slaw and Dijon mustard. The well-balanced mix is sandwiched between thick slices of toasted organic sourdough, and presented with more of those nicely dressed, springy mixed leaves. The serve is generous, and the price reflects the time and labour that goes into making so many of the ingredients in-house.We washed our meal down with Bulla Booch Kombucha ($5.50) flavoured with black tea and a hint of mango. It’s locally fermented in Bullburra, in small batches to ensure each (fully recyclable) bottle is perfect. The simple, old-fashioned frothy Vanilla Milkshake ($6.50) also proved a winner - both are great ways to refresh and refuel before hitting the road ahead.

It was very busy when we went there over the Christmas period but the service was still friendly and the brioche French Toast was delectable. It was served with a poached pear, candied orange, roasted almonds and fog syrup. The coffee was okay- I had a soy latte with slightly lumpy soy milk but my friend who ordered normal (diary) milk didn’t have the same “lumpiness” problem. All in all a great experience.

A really nice cosy bar. The owner is a delight, readily available for a chat, to explain what the produce is, where it comes from etc. The food is plentiful, fresh, tasty and absolute top notch. Highly recommended and will certainly be back. Do try the charcuterie board. Well worth it.

The cafe had a great atmosphere, feeling warm and cozy whilst the food was also really good! Will definitely be coming again.

Had the most delicious gourmet sandwich in this lovely cafe. Great atmosphere, lovely staff who take the deliciousness of their food very seriously. I’d highly recommend this cafe.

We discovered this place while on the road, he loved the brekkie burrito so we came back. Cute little nook dining, we chose to sit at the brekkie bar, great for people watching.Breakfast burrito with braised beans, black rice, grilled corn and chickpeas, tomato coriander salsa, sour cream and a fried egg. $15.5
