conquering food across sydney and the rest of the world

Cafe

Suspension Espresso – Newcastle, NSW

As we roadtripped up north we came across Baked Uprising’s instagram – how convenient, since we needed some good cafe and food recommendations in the area! Her instagram feed led us to Suspension Coffee, which turned out to be exactly the type of chilled place we needed post-music […]

Favourite Chair Cafe – Maitland, NSW

Pre-festival breakfasts are necessarily large and hearty. So on a Saturday morning in the surprisingly quiet town of Maitland we headed to Favourite Chair cafe (also a book store!) and sat under dappled shade in the courtyard overlooking the river. What a beautiful, relaxing way […]

The Wedge Espresso – Glebe, Sydney

A few people noticed that I haven’t actually written about many of my favourite cafes and restaurants around Sydney – the places that I just keep going back to. The Wedge Espresso, a cafe filling a somewhat awkward, long, corridor-like space, is definitely a staple […]

Something for Jess – Chippendale, Sydney

This has got to be one of the most colourful meals DS and I have ever had! We stumbled upon Something for Jess after trying to eat at Chur Burger and awkwardly being told it had burned down… Something for Jess has not been open […]

St Jude – Redfern, Sydney

Breakfast with J is always a great opportunity to try out some of the lesser known cafes around Sydney. With Cowbell 808 and now St Jude, “that” end of Bourke Street in Surry Hills/Redfern really seems to be up-and-coming. St Jude is packed full of families, couples […]

Kaffeine – London, UK

Kaffeine – London, UK

      In Sydney, we are used to great cafe culture. In London, with all it’s chain cafes and restaurants, this may seem harder to come by. However, with the help of Twenty Something London, DS and I were able to find Kaffeine – a […]

Granger & Co. – Notting Hill, London, UK

Granger & Co. – Notting Hill, London, UK

Judging from the giant queue outside Granger & Co. on a Sunday morning, I guess that Bill Granger’s fame has spread to London. Located on a cute street in Notting Hill, the packed restaurant is the perfect place for Sunday breakfast and brunch. Surprisingly (and […]

Kepos Street Kitchen – Redfern, Sydney

Found on the Redfern/Surry Hills border, Kepos Street Kitchen is a great addition to the growing number of cafes that turn into restaurants by night. J and I went for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed our time in the brightly lit, open room and are keen […]

Cowbell 808 – Surry Hills, Sydney

DS and I discovered this little gem on the less trendy end of Bourke Street a couple of months ago. And what a joy to find a Surry Hills cafe that is not packed full of loud hipsters on a Sunday morning! It does, however, […]

Cafe Corridor – Causeway Bay, Hong Kong

This tucked away cafe can be found at the end of a corridor (funnily enough) just opposite Times Square in the busy Causeway Bay. You would never know it was there, save for the small sign at the entrance to the building. This is another […]
