A new little germ in an ordinary local suburb.Mostly outdoor seating in a nice decorated courtyard. The food was nice and the serving size was just right. The serving size of the coffee was a bit too big for me but would be good for big coffee drinkers. The menu has improved since we last visited. We went back for the lunch and it was also very nice but the lunch menu is a bit more pricy than the breakfast menu.

Lovely local cafe with hearty comfort food. We went for a afternoon tea was surprised with its architectural setting and the quality of the food. Staffs and the owner were super friendly, food served quick and all made freshly. A local hidden spot. Happy to recommend.

9 Apr 22 - Breakfast treat this sunny (well, it was sunny when I left, but not for long) morning. Had the bacon and egg roll and the decadent mocha milkshake (this one is off menu and a speciality of a one lovely young lady). Back for dinner because Chef Mars told me tonight's special is squid ink pasta and boy, he delivered! It was amazing. Every little morsels on my plate was cooked to perfection! The squid ink pasta was accompanied by a group of plump prawns, diced tomatoes, roasted garlics, a bit of chillies for a bit of a kick, topped with Parmesan cheese and fresh basils.3 Mar 22 - Good mocha. No hot food this morning, but the ready made chicken sandwich was delicious and fresh. Friendly staff, too!

Thank You for giving Carlingford a different dining experience as we emerge from this pandemic. We need more dining places like this in this suburb. Just a few minutes walk and I am there. I love the casual, outdoor space & set up transformed from an abandoned car park. After a few drives & always forgetting to pay a visit, I finally dropped in for coffee & dinner. A good place to unwind for simple meals cooked with love & passion. Friendly staff & chef who look after its customers well. I look forward to your continuous deliverance of good food and service to this community.

We came here for lunch, it was very quiet. The owner took our order and made our meals. He was very friendly and explained what the dishes were. The coffee was very good. They have good deals for dinner which are tasty. The burnt butter gnocchi was delicious along with the vegetarian fettuccine that we ordered.The outdoor area is lovely with plenty of room to bring kids. There's also a small parking lot. They are licensed as well so you can have a glass of wine or beer. All the pastas are made fresh.

This has been, by far, the worst food experience we have had in Sydney.The menu had a choice selection of 4 mains - a good sign. Do somehting, do it well, I thought.We picked the chicken and pork belly. No entrees.1. It took them 45 minutes to come by with our order. there was only one other table present.2. Wait staff were not fully aware about the menu - they had a black worn out shirt and messy hair - not presented well at all.3. Chicken was NOT crunchy, sauce was not sweet or spicy as mentioned. The batter was clumped, dry and flaked off4, The pork - the presentation was awful. As you can see in the picture there is no sign of any jus; when we asked the wait staff about this they mentioned that it was already on the plate. So dear public spot the sauce??????The veggies as you see were cold, dry and burnt.The kitchen had two people in it. They seemed to have no idea what was going on, very slow and slack.The food left us feeling sick. The manager was not available to speak to us as anther table was fed up and decided to walk out as service was taking too long. They were not happy when their food arrived. The manager comp'd us a beverage. I could tell that the waiter felt really bad for us.Saving Graces:Ample free parking, accessible from the main road.The atmosphere and decor is quite nice.Wrap up : Avoid. Take your hard earned dollars elsewhere.Edit : There was a single table ahead of us. Followed by one table after us. Took them the better part of 30 minutes to serve the first table and then 15 more minutes to serve us. 45 minutes for f(D)ried chicken and cold pork belly. Don't see what weather has to do with serving two tables. I overheard some comments from your staff that I will not post on here, at the risk of ruining your business.

Quaint little spot in the middle of busy Carlingford! They serve many brunch classics and are also licensed so you can enjoy a glass of wine with your meal too!
