a brewer's tale café

cute cafe with very nice hipster deco and nice healthy hipster vibe. service is very casual and blah.coffeewas strong and smooth. just how i like it. my breakfast was lovely with lots of fresh and healthy ingredients and a very generous large portion plate. mushroom and ricotta was great. dish maybe just needed more seasoning or something to give it a kick as was a tad bland. quinoa and kale salad could have used more lemon for example. overall nice place, i would come back.

we orderedcoffeefollowed by food. after half an hour we asked how long the food would be however the order wasn’t put through. to make up for it, we were given our coffees for free. quite disappointed though as the reviews looked so good. we just decided to go somewhere else.

localcoffeeshop, staffs are friendly.
talking aboutcoffeedrip equipment and they ask me to try cold brew.
they cold brew was intended, stronger than long black caffeine content for sure.
it’s kinda a perfect drink for summer time.
and also i have my usual piccolo, medium dark roastcoffeebean, nice creama and smooth finished.

located off the busy victoria road, thiscoffeeshop is very nice with some very friendly staff, we went there for breakfast and food was good and tasty, and goodcoffeeand matcha latte!

zucchini & corn fritters : 😁 great
bircher muesli : 😍 amazing
coconut cold drip : 😍 amazing
matcha latte : 😊 good

when i looked at the menu, i was so torn. i wanted to order everything! from sweet to savoury, i believe there’s something for everyone at the brewer’s tale. the overnight bircher muesli was very refreshing and fulfilling. the corn fritters were great and paired well with the asparagus and beetroot hummus. the coconut cold drip had a very subtle coconut taste that didn’t overpower thecoffeebut nor did it really stand out. the matcha latte was nice and creamy but unfortunately the matcha didn’t blend well with the milk and there were lots of matcha powder sediments at the bottom of the cup which did not have a nice end taste. otherwise, a beautiful cafe that deserves a second visit.

i love the location of this place! the layout is amazing. the furnishing is cool and the staff are very friendly. the food was also perfect. the matcha hotcakes were delicious and thecoffeestrong. just the way i like it. will definitely go back.

very friendly service, lovely open dining space, great menu and fair prices.coffeeis good, and the meal portion sizes are generous. wait time for food was reasonable too. worth a visit.

i ordered salmon rush and hot mocha. thecoffeewas lovely. the cafe was lovely. but we were lucky because we went there for a thursday lunch, so not too many people.

never tasted kale so good 👄
we ordered the brioche french toast and the ricotta & field mushroom on toast. personally, the ricotta toast was a knockout! the poached egg was done so well that you can get a clean cut right outside the yolk membrane (don't know the exact name...). kale was lightly roasted, rather crunchy and coated with a lemon dressing (i think...) that leaves it tangy and fresh - perfect for summer. the blend of quinoa and seeds with the dish was also a good finish to a healthy palate.

the field mushroom was cooked nicely. perfect age, tender, juicy and when i just loved to smear that dollop of pesto-topped ricotta all over it. tastes so good i'm getting flashbacks as i type this 😂 i really recommend you guys to try this place. service is pretty good. waiter ensured we were both done with our food before they took the plates away ~ and of course, you can't get 5 stars without a lovelycoffee😌

staff and service were excellent.coffeewas great as well, i just wished the porridge had more toppings as it was a bit boring. but i will definitely be back!

we had chicken burger, chicken salad,coffeeand iced green tea latte (forgot to take photos). the waitresses was very nice. i changed the sauce on my chicken burger, which was easily accommodated. the burger was good but nothing special, the chips were dry. the main let down was the chicken salad - they served raw chicken! also it took 30 mins for the food to come out.

good food, good ambience. didn’t try theircoffeetho.
the salmon was in room temp, which i kinda doubt the safety of em. hashbrown was good. fried capers was genius idea!
the ricotta stuffed mushroom was good, except the toast were a bit chewy and hard to cut.
will i come back here? umm.. maybe.. but not in a while.

really lovely and attentive staff. i also really appreciated the number of delicious options on the menu. its more than just avo on toast! i ordered the black sesame porridge which was really really tasty. nicecoffeetoo!

i don’t know where to start to explain you how much i like this café. i am working so close to this shop that i had several opportunity to try their dishes and i always enjoyed them.

to start, the shop is located in darlinghurst near st vincent hospital, quite easy to come there with bus or train not very far. the café has not a lot of tables inside (6 maybe) but has also 6 outside (with heaters and blankets for winter). the service has always been very well done and the people there are very nice and warming so perfect for a brunch on a weekend or just acoffeebefore work.

they have a breakfast and a lunch menu with quite a lot of options. i tried the slow cooked pork with japanese happa sauce, kale and quinoa and the salmon filet, asparagus, mashed potato, capers served with lemon butter sauce. both meals were very well cooked with a lot of aroma and good combination of seasonal products.

and for my birthday i wanted to go back to this café to try their brioche french toast (it is not because i am french but i love french toast and in sydney i have to admit that people are cooking it very wel and add a lot of toppings which make them even better. this one was served with fresh fruits, ricotta, coconut chips and a mango panna cota (to die for) and some maple syrup. of course it is very sweet but as you would expect for a french toast. but the fresh fruits help to balance the sweetness.

i also tried their chai latte and it was pretty good too. and they serve the tea with a small sand timer for the right infusion time. i found this so cute!

so guys give a try to this cafe you will not be disappointed!

small cosy location, seemed like locals come by for acoffeeand a good read.
visited with a small group, each ordering a drink and a meal each. everyone's drinks came out all about the same time along with the food which was fantastic. food was delicious and couldn't be faulted.
