Great place to enjoy breakfast on the weekends! Highly recommend the Coffee!
Best Ramen ever, only on Friday night though.
The food was really delicious- the char sieu ramen is warm & dry noodles. The char sieu was tender. Bang bang chicken udon salads was my favourite - cold noodle salad covered with light miso & sesame dressing. It’s very refresh and perfect for a hot summer day.
I didn’t know about this place until I used the app to find somewhere close for breakfast. The cafe isn’t much to look at but the coffee is reasonable and the breakfast selection is to die for. You have to try the pork belly and fried egg on toast!
I heard a lot of good things about this place so we were curious to know for ourselves if the meals tastes as good as it looks. We ordered the fried eggplant, avo, red miso, cucumber & nori on sourdough bread and it was fantastic! Their coffee is amazing and had an almond matcha latte and they are not stingy on the matcha. They have an interesting menu and I have no doubt that everything else on the menu is just as good!
Great coffee, friendly staff, menu is Japanese infulanced, taco San is a great dish to have, or the mushrooms but all the dishes in the menu are good
Brunch with a Japanese twist
✅ Kinoko toast juicy shrooms 🍄 + onsen egg 🥚= delicious
✅ eggplant + toast + egg = must try
✅ pork + toast + egg = 💕
✅ chicken + rice + soup + onsen egg 🥚 = perfect for winter
✅ Flat whites ☕️ were also good
Will be back to try more 😊😊😊
Cool Mac was a little bit of a spontaneous find for us, it was the first cafe outside of Milsons Point that caught our eye and we were impressed! the dengaku toast is a little bit of a quirky combination of sourdough and deep fried eggplant but the rich dark miso dressing brings it together very well.
Love the food here. Ordered the salmon ochazuke and the wagyu soba. Both of the dishes are very delicious, very nice for the cold weather. However, it was quite a small cafe, making the cafe quite smelly from the open kitchen.
Their ramen ticks all the boxes for a great bowl of kotteri tonkotsu ramen: smooth thick gravy-like pork bone broth with a good shoyu tare for a robust depth and umami, a nice amount of negi and chewy braised shio menma for a dash of sweetness, thick tender juicy chashu, perfectly flavoured ajitama with custardy yolk, nori and chewy curly noodles. It was great and we crushed it!
This is Cool McCool to me - and reaffirming that after so many years, Australia is still flowering with experimentation, fusion and coming out with delightful culinary results perhaps not so easily found else where. Japanese and French disciplines have bloomed some time ago in combination, exchange of techniques and in using the best of ingredients. What about Japanese or other Asian inspirations with modern Australian? Here in this seemingly unassuming cafe on the lower end of Burton Street, Kirribilli, on Sydney's lower north shore, something good is happening, even if small and gradually. Whether for lunch or breakfast, I do find some interesting variations being served here.Siracha and sesame are used to marinate chicken. Ramen is cleverly labelled "Cool Men" and there is Kinoko mushrooms on simple toast. A twist on noodle soups is the green tea flavoured soup, although I am not sure I will go down well on this. Katsu is provided in a roll remniscent of Mr Bao at York Street Sydney CBD or at the markets at the Bondi Beach Public School on Saturdays and at the Central Park Markets on Sunday mornings. Coffee is by Campos.There can be limited seating on a busy day but you can always take away. The place is rather upper crust Sydney - I can hear of conversations about returning from New York, performing in London, the glories of running in cold weather and more. Darling pets wait on the pavement fro their owners. The cars on the street are Tesla, BMW and Benz.

I met a friend at Cool Mac for an early weekday breakfast during my training week in Kirribilli, and we were both very impressed with what they had to offer. We sat outside on the sidewalk, which is something I really liked about this place – that, and it was one of the only places at the local shops open at 7am. I started with a Botanica cold pressed juice (bottled in the cutest jar), which was both healthy and refreshing. The owner was very friendly and patient while we chatted away before ordering – eventually I chose the eggs benedict and added a side of avocado (why not?). I consider eggs benedict a good test of a place, and Cool Mac passed with flying colours. The eggs were beautifully poached, there was plenty of rich but not-too-rich hollandaise, the bacon
