We CANNOT get over how awesome this place is. All the staff are super friendly, highly responsive and will let you know if there is a bit of a wait (for food, as you sit down). Beautiful matcha lattes (you add your own sugar however sweet you like it), and sensational pour over coffees. The new menu is a delight- tonkatsu chicken brioche is a winner but the star that steals the show is the soufflé omelette. The osso bucco melts in your mouth and the duck is beautifully cooked - presentation also beautiful. Great blend of Japanese and European food- fantastic technique. What a gem of a place!

Great food (had the karaage chicken burger & the salad with the candied sweet potato), top class service & the coffee & matcha latte were both top class. To top it off, the pricing is also really competitive. Would recommend to anyone I know.
This is a small and humble cafe with super friendly staff. I really enjoyed the matcha mousse- super rich in matcha flavour and not too sweet. The tamago tonkatsu sando was good but the tonkatsu was too tough.
In my humble opinion Double Cross do one of the best breakfasts in Crowie. They do the classics with an Asian twist eg chicken karaage Benedict. Kid friendly and heaps of outdoor tables to park the pram or tie up the dog. I don't drink coffee but hubby does and he says it's very good here.
Pros:
- Good service
- Creative menu (Asian fusion)
- The asparagus egg dish had good flavour
Cons:
- Uses milklab almond milk (this is a personal preference thing - I always like Almond Breeze better)
- Pasta dish tasted a bit fishy
It was a lovely place for breakfast in Crows nest, tasty food and great coffee. The tonkatsu sandwich is nice and simple, would love to come back again some time.
Best brekkie spot in Crows Nest. Delicious food and great coffee. The service amazing, just super friendly and really accommodating. Great for families. Our toddler loves it here as much as we do.
Double Cross impressed me! I ordered the chicken karaage benedict with the 63° egg. It was unique and yummy. The hollandaise sauce on both meals was tangy and delicious. The coffee was superb and I even grabbed a takeaway latte after breakfast. Can't wait to try the rest of their menu!
Great cafe in the local area. I used to love its chai latte that was served in a little pot but it's recently changed. The photo is their mentaiko pasta. Flavourful pasta and decent portion. Presented very beautifully too. Staff are friendly and nice. Definitely a nice breakfast/brunch spot if those in the area!
Had the bacon and egg roll and was good. Also had the above and Halloumi and again it was made to perfection. Couldn't fault anything with regard to the food. Busy and nice. Very helpful service.

Double Cross Espresso is an awesome cafe in the heart of Crows Nest with some interesting twist on standard brunch dishes.
We noticed the karaage benedict being delivered to quite a few tables so that's obviously a popular option. However I decided to try the crab souffle this round and was definitely happy with my choice. This was lighter, less eggy and less dense than a classic French souffle. The cloudlike egg is pretty bland on its own; the magic happens when you dig deep to get a spoonful of crab, soy broth and egg. Delicious. I also enjoyed piling the fillings onto the sourdough slices.
My friend ordered the tamago sandwich, a Japanese omelette between slices of sweet brioche and gave it the thumbs up as well. It's on the smaller side but is perfect when you want a lighter snack. She also liked the ice coffee.
Great service with friendly staff and free sparkling water! If there was one thing I could suggest though, is if the ventilation was improved as the smell can really stick on your clothes if you sit inside.
I've come here for coffee multiple times and it's so consistent! I've had mochas, hot chocolates and lattes from here and they've all been great. Also, their nutella cookies are to die for!
It's quite a handsome looking cafe, clean and neat. This coffee shop is very popular in the neighbourhood, lots of people come here for a cuppa in the morning.
Its environment is very comfy to say, it's a open shop front with outdoor seating area, honesty saying morning and welcome to this hidden corner.
This is one of those cafes that make you seriously question other 5-star ratings you’ve given.
I was really worried that they had closed down but was super relieved to know they had just moved to a bigger space around the corner.
Quality coffee and a great menu. Their Mentaiko Pasta is comfort food at its best. It’s really hard to order anything else!
These guys take their coffee, service and food seriously, and that’s why we keep going back for more!
Outrageously good. Filter/ batch coffee was on point and the amazing food just blew me away. Influenced by Japanese and Korean ingredients and flavours while seemlessly intertrading into Anglo style dishes has been done very well. I had the savoury porridge with an added egg. Was so beautiful with subtle Japanese flavours, was not heavy, just extremely well balanced as Japanese cuisine is and should be. Fully licensed, this would be a great place for a lunch and a glass of wine. The interior is light, spacious Japanese/ Scandinavian style. Very simplistic, clean and open.
Will be going back again and again to try everything on the menu.
Spacious, airy, contemp cafe with a chill relaxing vibe. Staff are friendly, service is prompt. Menu is interesting with some Asian twist. Kid enjoyed the Hojicha milkshake. All the food we ordered are delicious. Highlight being the Mentaiko Pasta and KFC.
Great little cafe on Crows Nest main shopping street. Definitely on of our favourite spots in a very competitive area for brunch food. They also take their coffee seriously those so inclined. My go to is the friend chicken Benedict but other items on the menu are great as well. Overall it’s an Asian fusion brunch spot which hits all the required notes
If you're after some more unique dishes than the usual hotcakes, benedict, granola or b&e, give this a go. Fantastic Asian inspired flavour combinations and quick friendly service.
Delicious food and friendly service! Oat latte was perfection and the prawn burger was delicious (although could have used a bit of sauce.) KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) was crispy outside and juicy inside and "Unusual eggs on toast" was a visual feast. Love the lao gan ma sauce to accent some of the mains!
