“ Love this little cafe! It is on the busier side, so if you want a relaxing atmosphere then this one isn’t for you. BUT if you want to be the ultimate city observer (aka sit and people watch) then YES go here! Ordered an almond croissant (very flaky so very good and not too sweet), a cappuchino and eggs on toast. All were very well made and the service was nice! ”

“ Tucked inside the beautiful Vic building, this spot served as my first meal after landing in Sydney—and what a great welcome it was. The coffee was rich, smooth, and brewed to perfection, just what I needed after a long flight. Brunch was equally impressive, with fresh, well-prepared dishes that hit the spot without being overly fussy. The vibe is just easy and relaxed—exactly the kind of place where you can unwind and settle in. The interior has a modern yet cozy feel, and there’s a nice flow of natural light that makes the space feel inviting. What stood out even more was the staff. They were genuinely warm, friendly, and helpful—ready with suggestions and quick service, all without rushing the experience. All in all, it felt like a local gem and definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to. Whether you’re a local or just arriving in the city, it’s a great place to start your day right. ”

“ Good coffee! Great chocolate muffin and brownie. The ham and cheese croissant was also good and the side salad an unexpected fresh addition. Overall had a good breakfast at reasonable price, and would come again especially for that moist chocolate muffin! ”

“ Great coffee and brunch located in Vic building. Was my first meal ever since flying to Sydney and was deffo a place I would be back for. Just easy and chill. Staff are friendly and helpful. ”

“ Great cafe within the QVB Complex in Sydney’s city centre. Coffee is really good and a great range of food available including amazing cake/sweet options. I chose the Biscoff Cheesecake accompanied by an Iced Latte - fresh and delicious! Staff here are efficient and friendly. This cafe is a great place to sit & do some people watching too. Unfortunately on this occasion I had a clumsy moment & knocked my coffee over making a huge mess across table, chairs and floor. I mention this because of how the cafe wait staff responded. They were quick to assist with mopping up my mess & limiting risk of slipping for passers by. All this while being friendly, professional & forgiving of my mishap. Very grateful for such exceptional and supportive service - thank you! ”

“ A great cafe located in QVB which open a bit longer than other cafes in there. Very easy to find, near the building entrance. Their coffee and hot chocolate were excellent, and they got selection of cakes too. ”

“ I had an Aussie Beef Pie, a plain croissant and a large latte while preparing for work. I went there around the time it opened and I could see the queue building up soon after. Both pastries and the latte were all satisfying. ”
