Nice little cafe close to the station. Very basic menu, not a great deal to choose from. Granola was a little on the drier side for me, I personally like a bit more yoghurt, but the flavours were all there. The eggs & toast were great, especially the char on the toast, fantastic. Coffee was average, happy enough with it. Staff were very friendly & attentive, was quite pleased with the service. The style of the cafe was quite nice, the darker colours inside made it more of a pleasant dine in experience, soothing on the eyes.

Offering cafe food with an interesting menu, BTB are filling a gap in the market by offering dishes that are focused on the use of native Australian ingredients. Located in the stunning Harbourside suburb of Kirribilli just below the Sydney Harbour Bridge, hence ‘BTB’. Most of the seating is inside in a darkened space but full of customers happily enjoying their brekkie. We sit outside with our pram and puppy and efficiently served but the fun and friendly staff.
We’ve visited twice in the last month, wanting to try as many things as possible! Our first dish was the Warrigal falafels, which were super moist inside with a nice crunchy exterior, served with native zaatar, lemon aspen yoghurt, heirloom tomato salad and Warrigal greens. Oh and don’t forget to order a side of potato scallops with malt vinegar.
Another standout dish is the native cured salmon - with lemon aspen 🍋 mixed grains, macadamia miso cucumber 🥒 Myrtle cured radish, wakame raw greens, salt bush furikame and finger lime. This was so delicious, the seafood perfectly cured. It also looked stunning.
For a sweet option, there’s a vegan dish - Cherry ripe granola - dried cherry and cacao nib, coconut, wattleseed yoghurt, rosella glazed cherry jelly and granita. A great option on those hot days too.
On one of our visits there was an amazing special which was an absolutely cracker. The Duck hashbrown was nice and crispy and came served with a duck egg, sautéed Warrigals, Davidson Plum Chilli Jam and sea spray! Should be there permanently.
Coffee wise, their specialty coffee is by coffee supreme and there’s your favourite milk based, Filter, batch brew as well as cascara, chai, kombucha, fresh juice and smoothies.
We loved our visits and thoroughly recommend BTB for excellent food and specialty coffee.
Lovely little cafe, with a dark and moody atmosphere, bet very friendly staff. Coffee usually takes a while, but tastes perfect and the food is delicious. Only minor downside is that the bar stools are a bit too low for the high tables, which creates a bit of an inconvenient seating position.
Very beautiful and relaxing cafe. My sister and I enjoyed our little weekly chat in a very friendly atmosphere. Thank you Will for being very helpful, accommodating and friendly. We appreciate your kindness.
Was very pleasantly surprised with both the food and coffee at BTB.
Love their commitment to using local, Australian ingredients. The flavours in their dishes are so unique (which seems silly to say because it’s all from Australia), but just goes to show how under-utilised our local ingredients are.
Located right next to the train station, so great grab a quick coffee or hot chocolate (yinyang on top..see photo)
Friendly staff, good service and food. 🙂
Grab a cup of long black right before starting the Sydney Harbour bridge walk. A stop to go to if u like coffee… it is normally packed with locals during weekend.
Delicious food, great coffee & chill atmosphere. This has become one of my faves in Kirribilli! Can’t wait to come back here.
