O'Connell Street Cafe

Ordered a matcha latte, but was not informed it came with ice cream. 😕 Was not given an option to not have ice cream with it. Secondly, my egg and bacon sandwich was so basic for $16. It was literally a fried egg, fried bacon, a splatter of BBQ sauce (they don't have aioli, apparently), and two pieces of sourdough. I was able to get a takeaway box for this after having two bites. No water offered or seemed to be an option. I liked the seats, I suppose.

I work across the road and had ordered there regularly, though I don't know why as what I order is so inconsistent it is unbelievable! Smoothies are like milkshakes and coffee frappes are more like cold milky coffees regardless of how many times i tell them both items should be thick in consistency. Maybe they need to learn how to make these products or do not sell them. Today was the icing on the cake, I ordered via the Hey You app(As I always do) and wondered why it was taking so long for my order to be ready for pick up, I walked over anyway to check and my order was ready... had been for a while by the looks of it. What I ended up with was a 1/2 cup of cold milky coffee and cold and slightly burnt fruit toast.. which was pretty inedible at this point. This was ok to serve someone apparently even though I tried to make it clear Hey You had not been updated to show ready for pick up. Only as I was walking out of the cafe did this get updated and the notification came straight through.. NEVER AGAIN. My colleagues are also aware of the constant issues I have been having ordering here and we're shocked at my patience for putting up with it as they have stopped ordering here for quite awhile now due to their own views and experiences. Not anymore, I tried but simply do not want to waste my money here and you have lost yet another customer.

The vege burger is really nice, the bun is very milky and thick and doesn't disintegrate when eating it. Coffee isn't too bad either. They are open and socially distant

I've been here for months and they provide good coffee and service. While the barista was unwell today and coughed all the time when made my coffee without a mask. It's not good for her health and ours. I may come to change this review when situation change.

Breakfast is a good start to day here.

Do not bother with this place. There are so many better cafes around. I should have known they would be terrible by the fact they were empty on a weekday lunch period. I had to wait over 30min for a salad. That was just mostly baby spinach and seared meat. The lamb in the salad was undercooked. The fat and grissel level was so high I could swallow a single piece. It was then smothered in a flavourless yogurt sauce with. Staff did not offer anything else or a discount. By the time I had eaten I had to leave so no time to deal with it anyway. Needless to say I will never go back. Coffee was fine.

Sue is a delight. She can’t do enough to please you.

Had a few breakfast and lunch in this conveniently located Cafe during my visit to Sydney. Loved their Salmon Salad and sandwich. Coffee is especially good. Enjoyed great break moments sitting in the high ceiling hall with gigantic glass window. Very quick and friendly service.

Had a coffee here one morning before work and enjoyed. Staff very efficient and used to the busy business crowd. Good menu selection for breakfast but only had coffee which was good. Seems to be quite popular and a fraction of the price of next door Radisson Blu's breakfast.

Great food, we enjoyed everything. French toast, health kick breakfast, the fresh juices were amazing. Highly recommend! Also reasonably quick for a party of 6.
