Good honest cafe food. My usual is scrambled eggs on sourdough toasts. The B.L.A.T. is also very good. Pancake is a nice option if you feel like sweet. I see many returning customers!
Awesome place for sunday brunch.
We had egg Benedict, chicken burger, coffee and brownie.
Great presentation, friendly staff, good ambience.
Thank you guys for making our Sunday brunch special:)
Such a wonderful place! Not only was the food delicious, (and serving size was great value for money) but the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating for us. Really enjoyed the experience and will definitely be back asap :D
A trusty oldie! Haven't been here in ages, last visited about 3-4 years ago, back then it was just trusty solid cafe offers, nothing flash, but consistent quality. Good to see they have moved with times, a refresh of the decor, a fresh menu, and most importantly the French Toast have upgraded too. Looking pretty with lots of colourful fresh fruit. Brioche based, syrup, ice cream & bacon. What more do you need!

Used to come here quite a bit 4-5 yrs ago when chtswd was not confusingly overflowing with eateries. No bad memories before and rightly so when we re-visited them one early sunday morning. Happy to note that their menu hasnt changed that much, just simple food cooked and presented rather well. Though they were running at 90% cap, front line staff were unhurried but quick on their feet. We were shown to a table almost immediately and the table cleaned up not long after.
Spanish omelette 3.5/5
Salmon stack 3.25/5
A defo return.
We started to eat here every so often after our favourite Chatswood cafe spot (Fresh Taste) closed down. I have to say that the staff, service and food is all of top quality. The menu is really interesting and there's a lot of variety. I particularly love the bacon and egg brioche roll with BBQ sauce- it's absolutely delicious and has a great combo of flavours. The hot chocolate is always nice (as well as the coffee, I'm told), plus the desserts are scrumptious as well- we had one of the chocolate cake desserts and its was just lovely, nice and rich but not overpowering, and the staff made a cute smiley face with the chocolate fudge sauce on the plate which was a nice touch. The staff are always jovial and kind and make every effort to make your visit a pleasant one. This is definitely a great place to eat, sitting outside either in the summer or winter.

Had a pancake craving to satisfy and didn't want to travel too far so started googling cafes in Chatswood. Stumbled across a local favourite Houlihans and it's been a year or so since we have paid a visit so it was decided and that's not due to the fact it's bad but because I am not much of a breakfast person and the place is always busy so we are never to keen to wait.
Houlihans has always been a local institution and its equally busy for breakfast and lunch. Looking at the menu, I was reminded why. The cafe has what people want at sensible prices! Simple! Yes, you have to keep with the times and provide rarely cooked farm food to be "in" at the moment but at the end of the day, don't tell me that you will get snubbed when presented with a beautifully cooked big breakfast, Spanish omelette or Cesar Salad.
I am glad they are still busy while these pretentious cafes keep popping up in the area serving air and charging city prices. I was very tempted to put the craving on hold to take on the meat lover breakfast or the eggs benedict but decided to stick with my decision and glad I did.
The pancakes were soft and fluffy and the fruit compote and ice cream complemented it well. Perhaps some more chocolate and maple syrup would have highlighted the flavours a bit more.
The Poached Eggs Stack with bacon, rocket and balsamic reduction on sour dough was good and it was nice of waitress to suggest that we could swap some items if we didn't like it next time as she saw that my wife left the tomato on the plate. That's good customer service and in fact the staff were all friendly as was the owner at the end of the meal.
This place was a surprise. After a very unpromising start (being ignored for a long time, having to fetch our own menus, watching other people getting their orders taken who had arrived long after us) the food and coffee arrived, and it was good! Not ground breaking stuff but well executed and tasty. Tuna salad was really yummy. Smashed avo with corn got the thumbs up. $53 for 3 adults. Good enough for a return visit if I'm shopping over the north side again.
Soo good!
Great coffee and great food that won't burn a hole in your pocket.
Along with the lunch menu the breakfast menu is served all day everyday, and dishes all had a homie yet inventive twist to it.
Only area of improvement that I would suggest is the seating. Tables and chairs are placed in a way that you are awkwardly involved in the conversation with the table next to you. But that wasn't minded too much.
Probably the best place for breakfast in Chatswood
Brilliant smooth coffee. Love the choice of breads. Nice outdoor eating spot in chatswood.
Great. Chatswood is starved of good mod oz options, so I'm grateful for Houlihans! Its a touch expensive, but they know coffee, food and service so its worth it.
Fave is definitely the all day breakfast - the brioche bun or the BLAT. Also enjoyed some cheesy quesadillas today with lovely sweet roasted peppers.
Great place!. Recently went there for brunch with a friend. They provide all day breakfast as well as giving you the option to eat outside or inside. Quiet a small place but lovely place in the mornings. Staff were also very friendly!
Nice cafe with outdoor sitting!. Highly recommended, especially on a sunny day. Outdoor and indoor sittings available. Food was served on a timely manner, no delays. Price is average, good value for what you get :)
Food was not too bad, but service and the choc milkshake was a letdown (more like choc milk!)
Great coffee. I also had the French toast which was faultless.
Good big breakfast, although something could of been thrown in extra to suit the price. Also the beans seemed to be mircrowaved to order. Apart from that, a nice brekkky
Very Good. Can't believe I have only just discovered this place! Best coffee, good food and good service even at peak trading. I will be going back.
Service beyond expectations. Came here with an old friend. Just for a catch up we got coffee and 2 burgers. The drinks came but they forgot our order! We were waiting for 30mins already. One of the waiters told us they would give us 50% discount for the meals to make up for it. The food ended up being lovely and totally worth the wait. Definitely coming back again.
Rumour has it this is the best cafe in Chatswood and i can confirmed part of it :). Consistently excellent long black double-shot from Campos beans. Milky, really milky hot choc with beautiful rosetta. Oh...try yummy coconut loaf with lemon sauce as well. The mild sweetness keeps lingering on my tounge. I'm picky about the decor though i got the best alfresco table. This may just be another indistinguishable coffee you pass-by on the street but...'wait! That's a very cute Italian-looking waiter. Let's go in'
Decent coffee, very yummy breakfast, the holumi breakfast is delious
Amazing coffee and friendly service.... If you're looking for great coffee in Chatswood, Houlihans has got the goods. They serve Cafe di Gabriel beans which create a smooth, velvety coffee with a consistent taste. You can either sit at tables in the street under the cafe umbrella or the coffee is also good to go. Hope you enjoy as much as I do.
Wonderful friendly service from the girls behind the counter. Great Campos coffee served here and quality treats and breakfast menu.
Lovely desserts, had crème brulée and tiramisu, big servings too - couldn't finish mine!
The Gâteau Basque was richly flavoured and textured, and rightly-sized serving. An exquisite experience. The Campos Coffee flat white was perfect with fine delicate coffee art as a bonus.
A great option for a peaceful context conducive to meaningful conversations in the heart of the Chatswood metropolis. Interesting array of lighting however prices are on the expensive side.
Hot chocolate is pictured, very tasty.
