Cafe Rima

Cafe

😐 Waited 43 minutes for food to arrive when only 4 or 5 other tables were taken in the cafe. Food itself was decent but nothing out of the ordinary. Waiting around for so long really left a sour taste in our mouth when we can go to so many other cafes in the area with better food and get served within... People often mention service, coffee, cafe, great, staff, Rima, lovely,

    Lovely Turkish inspired cafe. Ate from the all day breakfast menu. My friends had pancakes which had an arrangement of fruit and crushed pistachios and a shot glass of, I think, rose water syrup. I had scrambled sujuk. So, eastern spiced scrambled eggs with Turkish sausages, labne and flat bread (yum!). The coffee was also very good. The staff were super hospitable and appeared genuinely pleased to have you there. Thanks to my friend,Collette for showing us one of her local haunts.

    I love this cafe! Rima is an absolute gem and her team are so helpful. If I was looking for fast, sleek, “turn & burn” busy CBD style coffee/food - I’d go elsewhere. If I’m looking for relaxed, genuine, neighbourly service; with tasty, fresh food and well made coffee/drinks - this is THE place. My wife & I choose this spot to take a moment to enjoy the passion for hospitality that oozes from Rima, and to celebrate the labour of love that is a suburban cafe. Thanks for being great!

    I stopped by for a coffee and ended up staying for a late breakfast because the menu looked so amazing. I ordered the smashed avo with salmon and it was the best I have ever had!! I will definitely be returning to try every item on the menu! The coffee was delicious, but you can’t go past the service. The owner Rima greets you with a genuine happiness and nothing was too much trouble. Great energy, great vibe. Its a must visit if you’re looking for a place to try in Marrickville.

    Great Lebanese inspired cafe hidden in the back streets of Marrickville. We had the Fatoush and Lamb Kafta wrap, both were very tasty! Super friendly staff and service. The coffee was great as well. Highly recommended!

    The Smashed Avo...Nearly died - from Satisfaction !!! This warm, busy cafe is meticulously clean, the owner and staff are vibrant, happy, always ready to serve (No waiting) and have the morning/afternoon chat. A hidden Gem with fresh food and a place just like the Cheers slogan 'Where everybody knows your name' 5X on the Thumps Up !

    I love this cafe. The staff are always so lovely and the food is spectacular. Last time I had the Scrambled Sujuk and it was beautiful, the perfect size for the start of the day.

    We thought we’d try a new venue. Food was very good. Owner was apologetic for the delay in serving the meal. Took more than 45 mins. It was an ordinary morning. A bit noisy from the traffic and a barking dog that barked most of the time.

    Delicious food with a Mediterranean twist in a cute little cafe. To top it off, exceptional customer service. Keep up the great work!

    My favourite coffee in the area and the friendliest service you'll find.

    Always lovely to drop in at Rima's! When I dine in I usually get the pancakes, which are several steps above and beyond most other pancakes served in the area - the rosewater syrup and pistachios are perfect together. A great local staple. Of course, the best part about Rima's is Rima! :) Thanks for always making my partner and I feel so welcome.
