Have mainly used this bakery cafe for take-away coffee which is consistently of good quality, and they use one of my favourite beans: Allpress. I have occasionally bought pastries & pies and they have similarly been top quality. Friendly staff & service from this local outlet.

Saturday night Business dinner for 4. We booked about 3 weeks in advance. We ate a mix of mains, including the eggplant poppers, lamb shank, charred chicken & kingfish and we all loved our meals. An eclectic wine list is on offer and we enjoyed the Black Bishop GSM and a Pinot Gris. Coffees plus a cheese board and a chocolate mousse finished off a great night for us all.

A mid-week family Burrito dinner for 4. Great menu that is adaptable to suit those who like spicy foods. We all selected the Chicken Guerrero option (two standard, one in a bowl, and one the spicy option). Fast & friendly service. They serve a variety of imported beers as well.

Friday business lunch for 5. We all had entrees, mains & shared desserts. Besides a slightly runny Pannacotta, we could not fault the restaurant in terms of food, wine choice and service. Highly recommended.

A quick Friday evening dinner for 4. We arrived before the queue to get in was too long. After about 10 minutes of waiting we got a table. While it is super trendy, noisy & has a crowded feel, the food makes up for it as the burgers are seriously good. Friendly, efficient service as well. We'll be back to try all the options!

Sunday lunch for four. 3 of us had the Wagyu burger which unfortunately failed to deliver on the taste front. Having seen pics on Instagram & read the menu, the description was awesome and it looked great on the plate, however the meat was lacking in flavour and the accompaniments did not suffice to rescue the meal fully; the side of polenta chips was great though. The 4th person had toast, tomato, avo & salmon and they were very happy with their meal.

Located inside the Rose Bay Woolworths. The Coffee Bar offers great coffee & light lunches/snacks either take-away or you can sit down at tables that look out onto New South Head Road. They server good coffee and the staff are always friendly and often offer samples.

I typically use this cafe when meeting friends or business associates for coffee - it's well located and the staff are very obliging. Breakfasts are good value and the coffee is always hot & strong.
Approximate cost: $10
Attended Zinc as part of a conference dinner - they offer an excellent event space and were easily able to cater for more than 400 of us. The food was very good (alternate plating) and the choice of wine was more than acceptable. Not exactly sure of the pricing, as such I have shown an estimate for entree, main, drinks & dessert.

This Toby's Estate cafe has proven to be an excellent location for breakfast, lunch and/or coffee meetings with clients & associates given its location close to the Eastern Suburbs and the CBD. They have an extensive (and flexible) breakfast and lunch menu plus produce great coffee - served by friendly staff. In-door and outdoor seating. Recommended.
