lil miss collins

absolutely the best breakfast i have had, very tasty and coffee wasgreatas well. hopefully these guys move to brisbane and open up a cafe to show us queenslanders how to do it.

loved it. cute little cafe servinggreatfood on an all day menu perfect for lunch or brunch.greatambience and even though it was outdoor seating, the area was well covered and heated so it wasn’t cold even in winter. will be back to try more from the extensive menu.

cutest little cafe that screamed garden sanctuary vibes! situated right next to a car park so the location was great. all the table seatings are located outside which is perfect when it's nice and sunny. we ordered the mediterranean breakfast, the chicken katsu burger, a mocha and ice tea. 

firstly, the burger was served on an 'activated charcoal bun'. unsure what benefits or additional flavours it brings to the burger but it tasted great! the chicken was crunchy and nicely flavoured, just the right amount of sauce and it didn't fall apart. 

the mediterranean breakfast was executed beautifully on a traditional plate. overall it was nice but the saddest part was how tiny the lamb sausages were.. i thought they would at least serve up a few more pieces but the only source of meat was the 4-5 tiny size sausages. 

bill came to approx $50 which is decent for brunch!


update 26/8: i visited again over the weekend and this time ordered some new dishes. i ordered the wagyu burger, lil miss collins hot cakes and the pumpkin & halloumi salad. the highlight for me was definitely the hotcakes! it was cripsy on the outside but super light and airy on the inside. the cake soaked up all the maple syrup so it was so sweet and delicious, not to mention super pretty! the salad was refreshing which definitely was agreatcut for the palette from the succulent juicy beef burger!

cool atmosphere, tiny cosy cafe withgreatfood. the service was amazing and the coffee was one of the best i’ve had in a while.greatvibe and location for this cute cosy cafe and will definitely be coming back soon

absolutely love this cafe. being neighbours with circa may have been daunting but these hold their own and proudly. went there readinggreatreviews from everyone and it didn't disappoint. i love the ambiance and the relaxed vibe of this place. perfect place to enjoy a brunch. we tried the poke bowl and the shakshuka with some berry bang smoothie and coffee. shakshuka wasgreatbut that poke bowl is phenomenal. i loved the smoothie, the only gripe is that found some seeds in the smoothie which if removed would have been better, but that's how i like it. overall it was an amazing brunch and very relaxing. would come back to try their other stuff. check it out

okay so it was at least 30oc that day, however the humidity made it feel like a sticky 45. there was no relief what so ever. one was stuck at work, the other was stuck in a damp exam room, whilst the third lounged at home, with a broken air condition. you could say it wasn't our day.

hungry and hot we ventured into the parramatta cbd. we parked. got out of the car and headed to the closest place. i lied we looked up some photos of food then we set our sites on the best looking dishes. that's how we ended up at lil miss collins cafe 😊 we didn't know what food they had but boy did the pictures look pretty and yes we do eat with our eyes. (that probably why we always order so much food, then get looks from the waiters when it's all gone 😏)

in fatty style we ordered so much that we had to re arrange their little table dressings. their menu isn't the biggest or the most experimental. it's hearty, healthy, fresh flavours mixed together to give you light and satisfying meals. the perfect feed in horrible weather.

burgers with a little hoisin twist, shakshouka and sweet corn and zucchini fritters. everything we order was tasty as hell. but let's discuss the fritters. herbivores you got us carnivores listening with this one. it was anything but bland and flavourless. accompanied by a fantastic and fresh pesto, they were oh so perfect. coming from the two meat eaters it means something. they were the topic of conversation all night. no joke. our messages revolved around the fritter.

we went home full but not heavy and sluggish. there was no need for a food coma. i know. how odd? no food coma. surely that's not a good sign. but here's the kicker, it's a bloodygreatsign. especially when it 45 out and your limbs feel like 12kgs already. it was a light tasty and satisfying meal. lil miss collins is definitely a must on your list of brunch spots!

absolutely love this place!greatfood and service and a beautiful setting. i got the breakfast bowl and was surprised at how delicious every element of my brekky was. everything was seasoned and went well together and you can tell that there is real effort in what is being made. really impressed with the menu and the coffee was great. would definitely recommend!!

vegan friendly? 7/10

the atmosphere here is so nice! very cute, chic, it’s decorated withgreatgreenery and makes you feel surrounded by nature. reminiscent of the grounds.

food here is good too, the breakfast bowl (made vegan) was satisfying,greatflavours too. their coffees aren’t too shabby too!

we asked for their chia pudding that was able to be made vegan but we were told that they had already mixed the regular milk in for the day, a tad disappointing but thats okay! we took ages to decide what we wanted order so the staff were very accommodating.

acai bowl in our opinion was quite small for the $16 paid however it tasted great, it wasn’t as thick in consistency as we were used to but presentation was nice.

would recommend a visit if you’re around parramatta, its just past circa espresso; not placed in a location you would expect!

definitely a little gem hidden in the streets of parra. i understand there would be plenty of competition due as it’s right next to circa but lil miss collins is creating a name for themselves in their own right. lovely setting,greatservice and beautiful food. i got the breakfast bowl and it was full of flavour! love this place and would defs recommend

such agreatlil gem in parramatta, coffee is awesome, the barista knows how to get the best out of it, had mediterranean breakfast, with crispy bacon instead of sausage and my wife the acai bowl, both great!!!! best breakfast in sydney so far, if you are in the area look no further than lil miss collins!!!
thanks

the atmosphere here isgreatand it feels like you've escaped the city, even though you're just by parramatta train station.
our food was fantastic and the poached eggs perfectly done. i had the zucchini fritters, which i definitely recommend. the portion sizes are generous too!
lovely staff and good coffee. highly recommend this place for brunch.

[invite] bianca: i was intrigued with the concept of little miss collins in parramatta. essentially a shipping container perched on a formerly empty block of land. in saying that, nothing about the set-up feels haphazard or uninviting. the space is very quaint and cosy. there is somewhat a ‘grounds of alexandria’ vibe with the chickens in the outer perimeter dining area. there’s a lot of opportunity for expansion, as there is agreatdeal of land behind the cafe currently unused.

✔️ decided to try this trendy new cafe in parra for lunch and it was so enjoyable!! i love how trendy it feels - it's all outside with such a beautiful setting and has a homely feel. reallygreatand quick service. we were so confused with what to order as everything on the menu looks so appealing, and the very knowledgeable waitors were so helpful with recommending their most popular dishes. to start i got a soy iced latte - this was made very well with a strong coffee hit just as i like it but might not suit everyone. for our meals we ended up ordering the acai bowl and the kafta plate. both were delicious!! the kafta was juicy and had a very authentic lebanese taste, and the additions of the fattoush, zaatar and delicious yoghurt to the plate was perfect. acai bowl had a gorgeous sweet taste to it and all of the toppings were delicious, especially their own special granola. i hate kiwi fruit so i left that, but that was literally the only thing left on either of our plates. will definitely return to try other things on the menu😍

❌ although i loved the acai bowl, the acai itself was pretty runny which honestly is the only thing i can fault.
