    I had the chance to try different things on the menu and I’ve never been disappointed: food is simply amazing, rich in flavour and portions are very abundant. Hard to find a favourite dish, but I would personally suggest the waffles, the breakfast bruschetta or the breakfast burger. Everything is excellent. On top of that, Amy and her staff are extremely friendly and contribute to an excellent service. Highly recommended!

    Quiet and peaceful place to relax. Only came here for coffee. Coffee is intense just how the viet like their coffee to be. Dont recommend to drink more than 1 though. Staff are friendly. Will definitely come back to try their food next time and will update the reviews again.

    Nice small cafe/restaurant with lovely people and quick service. It is mostly outdoor seats which are arranged and decorated nicely to compensate as much as possible for being on the side of a busy intersection. The food tastes nice but slightly more expensive than expected.

    Very friendly place owned by Amy who seems to know the regulars by their names! The Breakfast Burger (A$16) is very tasty and “crunchy” and it feels good to eat in a cozy friendly place. Will definitely return to try their dinner menu. Cafe is located opposite Macquarie Park metro station, currently obscured partially by construction nearby.

    The best Vietnamese restaurant/cafe in the area... A real hidden gem considering it is tucked away in Eden Rd. The signature pho was full of flavour without being too heavy, the beef they use is so tender... I drank the whole bowl of soup afterwards. I normally don't like sweet breakfasts but the Nutella Waffles were perfect, not too rich or sweet. Amy was very hospitable and will definitely be back to try her other recommendations.

    We waited more than 25 mins for coffee, food came out after 40mins wait, the vietnamese coffee for $8.5 was the size of a small cup. When the food came, a teaspoon was given, not a proper eating spoon. Place was not busy at all, there was about 3-4 other tables, so not sure about the delay. Someone had gone around apologising for the waiting for food to every table except ours after we finally got our food. You can order via QR code.. but the staff didn’t know the table numbers and as a result was walking around looking for the table with food or coffee in hand. It added to the whole perception that they don’t know what they’re doing. Honestly, if they had explained the delay, it would’ve been fine but complete silence and 0 updates is poor managing of customer expectations - just a general disappointment at the service of this place.

    Best Service and Best Coffee this side of Sydney Amy and her team run an exceptional Cafe that welcomes newcomers and regulars alike, never missing a beat with well priced, exceptional food, warm smiles and great music.

    Stopped in for brekkie. We ordered the brekkie burger and brekkie wrap. Service was very quick , great atmosphere as well. Food was very nice. My friend and I were dancing to the music while seated in our chairs. They also have an outdoor seating area which would be perfect in summer.

    Really great for quality Vietnamese food. The place had really nice decor and atmosphere. Staff was friendly and quick service. Food was excellent and freshly made. Had the Bahn Xeo (pancakes) and Nem nuong (pork skewers). The pancakes was really fresh, nice crunch and lots of meat. Pork skewers was perfectly cooked and a nice chew.

    Great food and a big variety for breakfast. One of the best places for breakfast in the area on my opinion. I want to go again for lunch and dinner so I can give another review.

    I've been to this coffee shop with my team work and we had a great experience. First thing is the beautiful and leafy outside area, perfect to grab a seat and enjoy the peaceful environment. The second is the menu. There are above average variety of food/beverages to choose. As I don't know so much about Vietnamese food, I got a recommendation from the chef and it could not come better. The pancake and the old coffee were rich in flavor, have an impeccable presentation, and were really delightful. Last but not least, the family who owns this business is very friendly, welcoming and hard workers. I recommend this lovely coffee shop to everyone. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

    Hidden gem to say the least! Came here today to try out this local cafe and we were blown away. It’s hidden away in the business area of Macquarie Park because the state government has erected construction fences, blocking its street frontage. Don’t let that deter you; there is still access from the street and parking within the business complex. They serve a huge range of food, from cafe classics with a twist, to Vietnamese dishes. Today we ordered their signature beef burger and a croissant with scrambled eggs and XO prawns. We were blown away by the service and food, and the outdoor area makes for a great private event. As we left, my 6yo asked “Mummy, can we come back here again?” You bet, honey, you bet.

    Amazing little cafe with delicious food and a wonderful owner! This was my favourite chilli scramble I’ve had to date (pictured below). Lots of variety on the menu. Highly recommend coming by!

    Came there for the first time, even it was tricky to find the way in due to construction outside block the way... But once come inside, the owner Amy is super friendly to help order and introduce the menu. Food is wonderful in the great price. Would totally come back more often.

    Amazing staff, baby friendly, delicious food and great atmosphere with live music! Although on the corner of the very busy lane cove road this is an oasis. Outdoor area is pram friendly and has great live music during lunchtime (KP and the sunshine band were playing) . A shout out to all the staff who were so welcoming when I strolled up with my 4 month old! Will absolutely be back. Try the Buddha bowl its delicious!

    Super cozy cafe, and what seemed to be really friendly staff. Their regulars came in while I was waiting for my order and they had some really engaging conversations with the staff there. I ordered a Full Monty Breakfast with an Earl Grey Tea. The tea came out first and it was lovely to see it also had a small hourglass timer for tea steeping purposes, and I was pretty happy with the presentation and portion size for the food. The teapot held just enough for 2 cups, but I felt like I did want a bit more. Not a fault of their own, because it was really cold that morning, everything cooled very quickly, so the tea didn't steep very well, so perhaps they might want to think about tea cozies for their teapots maybe. I didn't give the full five stars though only because the price on their online menu was different to their walk-in menu, so they need to be mindful of keeping pricing consistent for those budgeting. It wasn't much difference which was ok for me, but for those who might not be as freely able to pay, it could become embarrassing.

    We went to this cafe over the long weekend. The food was so delicious and the portions were huge. We had such a great lunch at Cafe Dakota. The staff were so welcoming and friendly. I can’t wait to go back and try other dishes on the menu!!

👍 Best restaurant for South Indian dishes. Worth a try of Biryani. Tried Tandoori Soya today and it was the best I ever had here. Egg65 Biryani was so tasty. Crispy Baby corn was bad seemed like it was not fresh. You should not let your standards drop.
