Kind words from our friends

My husband and I love hitting local, non-touristy places. Sassafras fit the bill 10x over. We went for a traditional Australian brekky and it was so so good! My husband had the famous ricotta hot cakes along with 2 eggs and bacon while I had the eggs on toast with bacon and avocado. We shared the hash brown. We both loved our dishes and I especially loved my house relish!! I wanted to take...

Blown away by the service here. We came in with a newborn, looking for an escape from the heat, and they went above and beyond to accommodate us and make sure we were looked after. Absolutely lovely staff and great food/drinks too. This will be my go-to in Paddington from now on.

For old-fashioned friendly service and fresh food, you won't be disappointed. Located in trendy Paddington, there's a garden area out back, that's peaceful and private. Dogs are allowed. The ambience is comfortable and restful, where you're surrounded by the background chatter of the many other patrons. The food is made in the cafe's kitchen. Very tasty and fresh, especially the pastry sausage...

A HUGE BIG THANK YOU to Chris, Laura and staff for arranging a successful event on Saturday night. The food was super delicious, (thank you chef) the girls (Laura & Hannah) were extremely courteous & friendly whilst being excellent workers & the venue was just perfect! So many young ones mentioned what a great place to hold a celebration! Thanks again for making our son's 21st...
