The pasta is delicious but a huge serving: pace yourself or bring a hungry friend

We popped in this morning to get breakfast with our 3 children. The waiter was so attentive , friendly , and displayed impeccable service. Little things like bringing me an extra serviette when I used mine on our daughter. Without me asking. Meals were also tasty and the cost very reasonable. Thank you

Visited twice in 4 days for breakfast on a recent visit. Wide range of breakfast options which were fresh and interesting (and delicious). Service was very friendly and attentive. Note this is not in Grosvenor Place, but the other side of Harrington St in the old Bushells Factory building.

Loved it. The service went above and beyond. Food took longer than expected but was well worth the wait. So full of flavour and very filling. So glad we found this gem

Really nice fresh food, friendly staff, decent portions and good prices. Definitely a good option amongst all tourist traps in the area. The Mediterranean breakfast is great.

Cozy spot for a delicious breakfast. The waffles were perfectly crisp and paired well with the bacon and maple syrup. The pancakes were served with a heaping amount of fresh berries. Lots of fresh juices on offer. Highly recommend!

A great spot for a meal, especially for guests staying at the Four Seasons or Shangril-la hotel (within a few blocks away).

We came here on Friday around lunch time. It was busy but not packed. The servers were friendly.

The food was OK (I tried the prawn linguini) but the portion was huge ! I couldnt finish my food.

As I had some appointments around circular quay, I've been looking for places for a temporary office with wifi where I could also have a coffee.

A search online showed up with this one.

The coffee was passable (nothing special), the place actually had table service too, but the thing that was annoying was the wifi was unbelievably slow (like modem speeds.. I guess "Welcome to Australia" is the comment regarding the wifi speeds at this point). So just a heads up if anyone wants to rely on the wifi to actually get any work done. Or bring your own Internet.

The search around Circular

I used to be a regular at Brew when I worked in the building directly opposite it. I maintain that it has one of the best coffees in the Wynyard / Rocks area (and that's from 4 years of searching and experimentation).

The cafe itself is highly geared towards people that work in the area, and the staff are friendly.

The young barista knows the regulars orders, and the older gentleman once let me have a coffee on the house because I didn't have enough cash. It was nice to see someone smile and say "all good mate".

Sometimes when you're feeling a bit worse for wear from the night before and you have to go to work, it's nice to post pone your arrival by going for a big breakfast and so much the better when it's at Brew Cafe on Harrington Street in the city.

There is always quite a few people around so the noise isn't the best for a headache but a table out the front elimantes that problem and also gives us some fresh air! The coffee gives the injection of caffeine I need and the big brew breakfast (eggs, bacon, sausage, tomato, mushroom and spinach) hits the spot but I know I'll be

Brew Café is another one of those places that the suits like to frequent for a quick and relatively inexpensive lunch with wait service. I've been there twice for a meal when I was in the area and pressed for time. The first time, I had a grilled chicken salad with roast capsicum, avocado, cherry tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese. It was decent, and I appreciated that they didn't skimp on the chicken. I hate when you order a chicken salad and there is hardly any chicken on the plate! It was around $14.

The second time I had lunch at Brew, I had the penne arrabiata. For $19, I just
