a brewer's tale café

matcha pancakes topped with fairy floss 🍵🥞🌸
it is their signature dish but to be honest, my friend and i thought it wasn't that great .. the pancakes were kinda dry and the poached pear that came with it, had a weird taste to it similar to an off alcohol or something. the fruits were a good addition to the dish and thematchachocolates were a nice touch.

we actually preferred the mains more and they were decent sized to fill us up. i had the pea and zucchini fritters and they were yum. even my friend who doesn't normally like fritters said it was good. i recommend coming here for the mains but not recommended for their signaturematchapancakes. "le monde" does goodmatchapancakes though for anyone on the hunt for it.

it was nice to have a break from the rain and have some sun today so we decided to go out for brunch.

i didn't know about this cafe until i came across an entertainment voucher and i'm glad we made a booking as there were a few people waiting and i definitely didn't want to sit outside.

cute decor inside and friendly staff. we tried their signaturematchalatte which was strong so we needed sugar to sweeten it up a bit. i tried their purple sweet potato which i preferred and this was a nice purple drink for the cool weather.

in terms of food i went for their zucchini and pea fritter which looked disappointing as they were two tiny pancakes than fritters but taste was not bad. my husband went for the breakfast plank which is their version of big breakfast but overall he found it too salty. my son loved his scrambled eggs and toast and we definitely wouldn't mind coming back to try their lunch menu items.

a brewer’s tale is a fairy tale themed cafe in darlinghurst with a whimsical ambiance and decor that does cute and quirky brunch dishes. we had heard good things about this place and finally got around to trying it. 

we couldn’t come here without trying their signaturematchahotcakes with fresh fruit,matchachocolate, pistachios, poached pear, persian fairy floss, coconut slices and red bean. this was amazing and lived up to my expectations. the pancakes were fluffy and full ofmatchaflavour and went well with the tangy fruit and the sweet red bean. the fairy floss on top was definitely a sweet way to finish off the dish!

absolutely loved brunch here! every dish is so beautifully presented and more importantly, the taste was on point. my top picks would have to be thematchapancakes and the french toast, both beautifully adorned with an array of flowers and fresh fruit. the lattes here are incredible! highly recommend thematchalatte and the purple sweet potato one too. a must try spot for brunch in sydney!

just a street away from busy oxford street is a brewer’s tale cafe, a fusion eatery with signature dishes that showcase the very on trend japanesematcha(green tea) in many forms, as well as classic brunch fare. the decor has a dash of whimsy to it with 3d suitcases on the wall, birdcage lighting and floral cushions, which brighten up the space and create a nice ambience for brunching.

this place have been all over instagram for their esthetic looking dishes and i've been dying to try it out. it a lot smaller than i expected , right from the door i got a really warm welcome from staffs. order the most famousmatchahot cake , probably 90% for the instagram pictures and not expect big things but oh my god it taste so good just like it look. fruit on the side really help with the sweetness of thematchacake. overall it was a really nice experience and i would love to comeback someday.

as soon as i walked in, i was in love with the decor of the cafe. all the dishes we ordered were so pretty and there's also a focus on healthy ingredients. both the pork belly and grilled salmon came with sides of beautiful vegetables. we finished off with thematchapancakes and it was gorgeous! served with a poached pear and fresh fruit, the pancakes themselves were quite strong inmatchaflavour which i really enjoyed. great spot!

had a bit of a cathartic experience over thematchahotcakes. when it arrived i was shocked, i had never seen anything like this in my life. probably the closest thing would be one of those crazymatchadesserts you order with every possible topping because 'why not'. it was whimsical, ridiculous, colourful, like a kandinsky on a plate and i just sat there looking at it for a long while (please see picture).

it had fruit salad w/ coconut,matchahotcake with azuki, fairy floss,matcha'ganache' chocolates, nuts, flowers and a red wine poached pear. with each bite i tried to make a new combination of the flavours but still i just didn't understand the dish at all, it was utterly complex and so far removed from reality. i began to laugh. the dish was like abstract art both in visuals and in taste, perplexing but somehow...good?? 

so that was a new experience. i absolutely loved the setup of the cafe, it felt so comfortable and friendly with a vintage charm and super friendly service to match. cappucino was decent, loved the s/o.

this little corner of darlinghurst goes through rather a bit of a changeover and it’s taken me a while to get to this latest incarnation: a brewer’s tale cafe. the menu looks great with some asian-influenced items. there’s hot coffee, and cold-drip coffee and various other coffees which makes me embarrassed to just have ordered a large latte. there’s bags of coffee to buy. a real coffee aficionado joint. i've also enjoyed the taro latte here... thematchahotcakes were a disappointment, but perhaps that's just me (i thought the elements were disparate) but my pal was happy with his stuffed mushroom with a poached egg. wonderful service, and a very nice atmosphere.

great food...lovely customer service. i am lucky i like earthing on the menu but try thematchahotcake it's just the best:) also highly recommend zucchini green pea fritters + smoke salmon ;)

this is an adorable cafe open up to burton street, a short distance from the busy taylor square and oxford street.  the cafe is decorated with various pot plants, some hanging off the ceiling, some arranged neatly by the entrance, and others as part of table decoration.  

we had amatchalatte and a taro latte, both on point and tasted strong in flavours.  the bacon and egg roll was served in a round bread roll with spinach and a mild tomato sauce.  the yolk burst at the touch of knife tip and produced the perfect eggporn.  the size of raisins in the raisin toast was staggering, the saltiness in the butter and sweetness in the fruit worked well together.

it was an enjoyable breakfast after an early trip to the nearby hospital, love to come back and try the lunch menu.

came to this cafe for brunch today after seeing the instagram worthy photos! we ordered the signaturematchapancakes, the meatballs, a hot chocolate and mint and a chai latte. personally, i hated my chai latte. i would go as far as saying it was the worst chai latte i have ever had. it wasn't frothy and the chai flavour was very off. i wouldn't recommend it. my meatballs however were delicious. the homemade sauce was great and it was all very well seasoned - i could taste the herbs throughout. thematchapancakes were very average. there was hardly amatchataste and they were burnt. i loved the addition of persian fairy floss but my friend wasn't a fan. and the chocolate and mint drink wasn't anything special. it was virtually empty when we came in but we did make a booking. i probably wouldn't recommend coming here.

breakyay! all four breakfast options were fresh, tasty and well balanced. i did fall in love with their zucchini and green pea fritters with smoked salmon😍✨💖 it was literally the best fritters i've ever had, perfectly cooked, not dry, soft and crisp on the outside it was deliciousness in a plate! and i will return a million times over for them fritters & all day breakfast ya'll.

i've been wanting to go to this cafe for a while - the beautiful pictures on instagram have been calling me. the cafe is adorable. it had bench seats, tables and very comfortable cushions. it is beautifully styled with old suitcases, pretty cushions, pot plants, bird cages with chandeliers.
the menu is super cute - like a photo book. the drinks menu is large with milkshakes (including cookies and cream and coconuts caramel), iced drinks, special lattes, cold drip (single origin), acai smoothies, fresh juices, super food smoothies, organic tea and iced tea. i got the 'super c' which is orange, pineapple and apple'. it was nice and fresh and came out super quick.
for the breakfast options there's so many nice sounding options likematchahot cakes, brioche french toast or the amazing looking black sesame porridge. there's also big meals like smashed avo, eggs benedict, zucchini and green pts fritters, ricotta stuffed field mushrooms and a breakfast plank. i got the green breakfast bowl which is organic quinoa, male, haloumi, poached eggs, baby spinach, asparagus, avocado, mushrooms, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, pesto and lemon. what a healthy amazing meal! i'd love to come back sometime for some more breakfast choices. i love that they also sell breakfast all day.
lunch options are served from 11:30 and there are pastas, sandwiches, pulled pork, beef burgers, grilled salmon and a vegetable stack. i also got a green teamatchalatte - the latte art wasn't as i had hoped but the flavour was on par. the staff were absolutely divine. super friendly and great service.

a brewer's tale cafe has a whimsical fairytale of food creations full of colour and flavor. the theme is carried perfectly throughout the decor making your visit a relaxing and unique experience. the coffee is some of the best i have had in the area and they also have a range of teas and fresh juices. my favourite breakfast dish was the zucchini and pea fritters with asparagus, make sure you add salmon! the fritters were fluffy and the peas made a delicious combination. thematchapancakes are a magical creation and if you are amatchafan do not go past this dish. we also tried the smashed avo with beetroot and poached egg and the french toast. if you are here for lunch my top pick is the pork belly! 5 hours braised pork belly with carrot, apple purée, poached cherry tomato and mashed potato - this is the type of dish you would expect to find in a restaurant. the cafe has both indoor and outdoor seating and the staff were friendly and attentive. i thoroughly enjoyed my brunch adventure at a brewers tale.
