My favourite cafe in Randwick! Ever since I started working in the area I've come to 169 regularly and I highly recommend them. The staff is extremely lovely and welcoming and really know how to be creative and treat their customers.
Love your work guys and see you on the regular!
I have been coming in and out for a while and am now a regular, best coffee in the Randwick area. Dee and her staff are amazing and always friendly, everyone should come here and try for themselves.
Really lovely staff. Had a quaint little play area suitable for small kids. Made a custom croissant on request. Would happily come again
One of the best cafes around the area, a good hangout, with kid friendly back section. Staff always look after me and I keep coming back because coffee is excellent.
Places with wifi are my favourite!! If you need to study, drop by 169 Cafe :) Staff could be a little more attentive but still very friendly! Atmosphere was nice and relaxed.
I just got a soy latte and a peanut butter slice. Latte was good, slice was average for me. Would like to come back to try their lunch menus next time!
Delicious food - we had the vegan bowl with haloumi and poached eggs with avo and bacon. Very friendly and efficient service too. We will be back.
Some friends and I made the trip up to Sydney from Melbourne and had a look on Zomato for a good breakie spot. Being from Melb we naturally have high standards when it comes to brunching. I remember the coffee being perfect! Almond milk was super smooth and did not split or taste sour in anyway. The smashed avo was pretty good however portion was so tiny (as you can see from the photo) I left hungry which is not okay. The rest of the menu looked good though and my friends enjoyed their meals despite the small size. I would recommend stocking up on a few extras on the side if you choose to visit!
Found this hidden gem in Randwick - my neighborhood!
It looks like a small local cafe from outside, but in fact it is a large and cozy decent cafe with wide range of brunch choices.
We ordered The Club sandwich with fries on the side and a Mushroom Stack on the special menu. Both tasted incredibly nomz! Besides the sandwich was too thick to stuff into my mouth, I actually have to separate the 3 layers of sourdough to 2 and 1 (and later found out having 3 layers together was the best taste in the world cause the sauce goes well together so freaking much). I'm lost of words, definitely going again on the weekends.
This food was above average but not great. The coffee was average too but I like how it was presented. I like the friendliness of the staff and the ambient were the perfect for Sunday morning.
Breakfast burrito was massive and yummy. Also ordered an Iced Chai Latte which was not on the menu, but the barista said she'd give it a shot and she nailed it.

Love this little cafe, one of those great little finds you keep going back to, because the coffee is good, and the bacon and egg roll is even better. Very chilled out, with a courtyard out the back to sit in the sun. Win win.
Great little Cafe I just found. Lovely fresh food, cosy environment. Lovely almond milk coffee. Salmon Brunch was delicious and just a great light lunch. But enough to fill me up. Very happy. Love the Chick pea and Chorizo Bake. Good amount of spice.
Great service! There was a very slight issue with my meal and they were so happy and accommodating to sort it out, despite it being very minimal. (Butter on toast - slight dairy allergy)
Excellent quality for a cheap price. A true hidden gem of the eastern suburbs! Excellent vibe and atmosphere created by the staff.
Great coffee! I will certainly be back.
Do uou like vegan bowls or want to try a yummy one?
I highly recommend visiting Cafe169 for the best vegan bowl I have tried to date - which is not only healthy, but delicous as well.
Laying on a bed of quinoa are nutritious veg, fruit and legume including lentils, spinach, avocado and chickpeas. Squeeze on a slice of lemon for a tasty and filling meal.
There are meat options if you prefer however I have not personally tried any.

Free WiFi, tasty food and great service! If only more cafes were like that. I came in with 2 kids and they were quick to serve us and allowed us to sit even after we've finished eating. BLT on Turkish was delicious. Kids meals were affordable and wide ranged. Outdoor seating available too. Will definitely be back!
came for good coffee and quick service, and ill be coming back because of the lovely staff, chatting to Dee in the morning sets my good mood for the whole day, her genuine friendliness and smile is so energising. ps you have to try the bacon and egg roll with tomato relish, its amazing.
Great coffee and amazing service, my partner and I enjoy going there everyday.
Had a large chai latte which I enjoyed as it was such a chilly day, but it was rather diluted. Kids enjoyed their babycino and hot chocolate. The avo smash was not bad (probably should have asked to add rocket on top which the next table did) and the chicken wrap from the kids menu was tasty, generous with chicken and veggies and great value. Pancakes looked delicious but were just ok. Overall, it was good value. Could use an Entertainment Book voucher too. The cafe was very busy so the wait for food was longer today (about half an hour), but service staff were friendly and helpful.
Friendly and attentive staff. Beautiful food and superb coffee (and I admit I’m your typical difficult to please, Melbournian coffee snob!). If I could use more positive adjectives without sounding over the top, I would! You catch my drift ;)
Pictured below is their signature 169 Smoked Salmon & Avo on toast. Delicioso!
