a brewer's tale café

if i live around this suburb, i will definitely be there at least once a week. i have been there a couple of times and the food is amazing as always, the staff are welcoming, and their prices is not as steep as other cafes. i love it that they do earl grey lattes here (howgoodis that?!) and not just regular lattes. i would normally have the salmon rush, but the ricotta stuffed mushroom is soooogoodas well!

delicious food, and can't wait to be back! green benedict was to die for!verygoodcustomer service too. thank you

great place to have a quote brunch on a weekend. very modern menu and well balanced food. i loved hash browns in my salmon rush dish! didn’t feel any fat or oil in it at all as it happens often in other places. haven’t tried their coffee, but i’m sure it would begoodas well.
will definitely come back xx

located off the busy victoria road, this coffee shop is very nice with some very friendly staff, we went there for breakfast and food wasgoodand tasty, andgoodcoffee and 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 the coffee but 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.

okay service withgoodfood and coffee. the coconut cold drip was really nice and sweet. the matcha latte however was very disappointing. the matcha powder wasn’t mixed in correctly so clumps of bitter matcha formed making it very hard to finish. the food on the other hand was delicious! the bricher muesli was refreshing and super fulfilling topped with one slice of poach pear...the fritters were also good, both fluffy and very fulfilling.

nice, rustic ambience, andgoodvariety of menu options. the bircher muesli i had was really nice and had the perfect sludgy consistency. massive serving too! the morning muesli with panna cotta however was wayyy to dry, and needed to have more milk/yogurt and the muesli was uncooked, it should have been toasted if it wasnt soaked. overall i say this is a pretty mediocre place, not bad, but not amazing.

always agoodidea to get reservations as this place can get pretty packed.

the staff is an affable lot, they're all very sweet! the ambience is ideal for a brunch. the interiors are adorable.

this goes without saying, the food is gorgeous! it's just so pleasing to the eyes. everything tastes decent. the highlight for me was definitely the french toast. unexpectedly, the purple sweet potato latte was flavourful and had a smooth texture to it.

would i go back? maybe, for the french toast.

never tasted kale sogood👄
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 agoodfinish 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 sogoodi'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 lovely coffee 😌

we had chicken burger, chicken salad, coffee and 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 wasgoodbut 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.

had a great weekend with nice food here! and the staff service wasgoodtoo. also they have a big portion for my meal. definitely will back again to this place

good food,goodambience. didn’t try their coffee tho.
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.

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 a coffee before 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 andgoodcombination 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 prettygoodtoo. 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 a coffee and agoodread.
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.

semi vintage cafe,goodseating & great ambience for chatting, foods were well presented however they under seasoned, we ordered their signature pork belly & grilled salmon, coffee was slightly bitter, overallgoodto try ! they famous for matcha hotcake ! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
