This cafe is one of my favorite cafe in Sydney. I think their all food are so unique. For example, this gorgeou looking chocolate hotcake is plan based. And the ice cream on the top is coconut ice cream. This is so delicious as well. If you want to try something unique food, this cafe is definitely for you.

Perfect place for brunch if you’re looking for unique and healthy dishes. Despite how healthy they are, the portions sizes are huge so you know you’ll be full and satisfied afterwards. For example, the breakfast bowl came with a HUGE slice of pumpkin. I also really loved the beetroot hummus in the bowl, definitely one of the best I’ve ever had. Only complain is I wish there was more of it!
Make sure to try their pastries too, they’re healthy and not too sweet so they’re perfect for a post-brunch treat.

Starting the week the right way with a visit to Rough & Bare in St Leonard’s 💯 All their food is gluten-free and refined sugar free and each dish is made with optimal nutrition in mind. Normally when I think of food prepared in this way, I assume it is for a detox or when I’m trying to be healthy however Rough & Bare really know how to make extremely clean and healthy food very well with delicious flavours. Which means, this is food I could eat any day of the week! My boyfriend accompanied me and he was amazed at how beautifully presented, tasty and big the plates of food were.
We ordered the following dishes:
🍹 TROPICAL BLISS SMOOTHIE: Mango, pineapple, banana, passionfruit & raw honey 🍯 This was so fruity, so fresh and just sooooo yummy
🍵 RED CHAI LATTE: Caffeine-free rooibos tea, spices with a side of raw honey 🍯 I loved this chAi style teas packed with flavour and spices. It warmed the soul!
🥩 LAMB SHOULDER: Lamb terrine, sweet potato hummus, rainbow chard, broccolini, red wine jus, rosemary & anchovy oil. 🍷 My favourite dish as the lamb was cooked to perfection and the flavours of the red wine jus and hummus were so incredible
🥗 BEETROOT SALAD: Beetroot, fennel, broccolini, quinoa, walnuts, mint, mixed cress, baby kale, apple cider vinaigrette & fermented cashew cheese 🥦 This was probably one of the most stunning salads EVER! It was so fresh, delicate and beautiful. I am not the biggest beetroot fan but for this salad I’ll swing that way!
🍊 ORANGE CAKE 🍮 This was the prettiest little treat ever and cutting into it was too much fun! I found the strong citrusy flavour incredible but I felt the cake was overly moist. Still devoured it though
🍞 FRUIT LOAF 😍 Best fruit loaf EVER!
Apart from the food, I especially loved the simple decor and the extremely zen vibe that was apparent as soon as you walk in. I felt transported to a state of calmness and I was able to take a nice break and really just focus on good food with my boyfriend 😍
Thank you for having us Rough & Barr!

Wholefoods are the theme here when it comes to the menu at Rough and Bare. Choices are a plenty on this ALL DAY menu with every single item both 100% gluten free and 100% refined sugar free. Rough and Bare also showcase that healthy food can be affordable, attainable and appealing to everyone.
Rough & Bare is a popular health food restaurant in St Leonards. I ordered roasted salmon with hot chocolate (they didn’t have soy so I opted for coconut milk).
Loved this place!
Came here for lunch and had the lamb shoulder and the chicken and kimchi salad.
The lamb shoulder is amazingggg!! Highly recommend.
We also had a hot chocolate which was great.
It definitely is a hidden gem
Nutritious, gluten free, wholesome food without compromising on flavour and aesthetics. Great spot with plenty of seats inside and spacious enough for high chairs. Attentive and friendly staff, ensuring we were happy with our seating and even offering a blanket for extra cushioning for my toddler’s seat. Love how the front of the cafe is all glass to allow in natural light and create a real open space.
2hr free parking in the multi-storey carpark just across the road, otherwise plenty of metered street parking.
This place is definitely a hidden gym! I absolutely love all the dish that I ordered here. It is full of nutrition yet was super delicious!. coconut iced latte - $7.9. The coffee doesn't taste like a regular coffee I usually have. The coffee was not that strong but it was rather rich. The coconut ice cream on top adds creamyness to the coffee that actually makes it taste better!
With a glass house as your exterior, its hard not to enjoy the nice sunshine that seeps through. Came here on a voucher, ordered mushroom and eggs $23.9, with a super hot chocolate $6.5. Im not a health nut so i couldnt finish the dish but i can say the eggs were poached beautifully. Really enjoyed the hot choco and wouldnt mind coming back for the drink. Service was terrific but the food took like 20mins or so to come out. Recommend? Absolutely for the health conscious and also for their hot drinks.
New opening, already very popular with a solid queue for table, and then another queue at the counter to order. The seatings are rather cramp, the table next to me also had a giant column stuck right next to them. The service is rather hit & miss. Waited over 20mins for the coffee, the food actually came out first. My apple crumble waffle was quite nice, crunchy waffles with a good balance of strawberries, pears, coconut ice cream & syrup. The serving size is rather small for the price they charge. The signature Matcha latte is ok, but again overpriced & not worth a long wait.
This cafe was very aesthetically pleasing, although the service was a little bit slow (people arriving after us received their order first), however the coffee and food was wonderful! I had the apple crumble waffles and they were delicious :)

This place is amazing. Great food and drinks, great decor, great ambience and I love the concept. Love the health books on the side and the indoor outdoor feel. And we definitely need more wholefood cafes. As someone who suffers from Rheumatoid Arthritis, I could not welcome this cafe more. I went to their opening so we had to queue up and there was a long wait for the food to come out. It was worth it though. We ordered the pork belly and the apple crumble waffles, both of which were tasty. The twice cooked pork belly especially was amazing. We also had the hot chocolate and matcha latte. I love the selection of foods and drinks. The fact that these guys don't serve soy makes me think they know what they're talking about! I can't wait to visit you guys again when I'm back to Sydney!
Update: Added a few pictures from our second visit when we also tried the coconut juice and one of the raw desserts which was delicious. I had the brothee as well which I recommend for people who are into bone broths.
What a brilliant place! Love the huge art works on the wall. Staff are excellent, food is good. Coffee tastes great but please do Soy. They have done it right, cool atmosphere.
